The Superfat Secret in Natural Skincare
Our soaps at Earth Botanicals are distinguished by a special superfat process in which we purposefully leave extra premium natural oils, such as moringa oil, black cumin seed oil, and tomato seed oil, unconverted during saponification. This distinguishes us from traditional soaps by producing a nourishing excess that deeply moisturises your skin. Our Elements Collection, which draws inspiration from the elements, uses this method to provide gentle, efficient care. It's a complete skincare experience when combined with our Jesmonite dishes, which are made for durability and drainage. Learn about the benefits of superfatting for sensitive skin, its scientific basis, and how it fits in with our environmental commitment.

We leave extra premium oils, such as camellia tea seed, tomato seed, black cumin seed, rosehip and moringa, unconverted during saponification, in contrast to conventional soaps that can strip your skin. This produces a deeply moisturising, nourishing boost that leaves even sensitive skin feeling happy, soft, and radiant. This technique is used in our Elements Collection (Fire, Earth, Water, Air, Ether), which is handcrafted in Brighton to provide a mild yet efficient cleanse. It's skincare that loves you and the environment, especially when combined with our environmentally friendly Jesmonite dishes that are made with drainage for long-lasting use.
The Science Behind Superfatting
What is superfatting, then? It's the skill of adding more oils than are required for saponification, which is the process that makes soap from oils and lye. These "free" oils—imagine the vitamin-richness of moringa or the antioxidant glow of tomato seeds—remain in the soap, producing a rich, creamy lather that hydrates rather than dehydrates. This is revolutionary for sensitive skin because it provides pure nourishment without any tight or squeaky sensations. Our background in herbal medicine informs our selection of scientifically supported oils that promote healing and soothe.
Sustainability at Heart
At Earth Botanicals, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s our mission. By using natural, ethically sourced oils, our superfat process reduces waste and its negative effects on the environment. Our Jesmonite dishes are made with long-lasting, low-impact materials, and the oils from moringa and black cumin seeds are sourced from environmentally conscious suppliers. The drainage design keeps your bars fresh and reduces waste by prolonging the life of the soap. We're dedicated to providing high-quality, eco-friendly skincare products from Brighton to your bathroom.
