21.01.2022 Introducing our latest Shaving Soap the CUBAN an earthy bass note of Caribbean vetiver smells amazing...

20.01.2022 More information.... It probably began with an accident thousands of years ago. According to one legend, rain washed the fat and ash from frequent animal sacrifices into a nearby river, where they formed a lather with a remarkable ability to clean skin and clothes. Perhaps the inspiration had a vegetal origin in the frothy solutions produced by boiling or mashing certain plants. However it happened, the ancient discovery of soap altered human history. Although our ancestors c...ould not have foreseen it, soap would ultimately become one of our most effective defences against invisible pathogens. People typically think of soap as gentle and soothing, but from the perspective of microorganisms, it is often extremely destructive. A drop of ordinary soap diluted in water is sufficient to rupture and kill many types of bacteria and viruses, including the new corona virus that is currently circling the globe. The secret to soap’s impressive might is its hybrid structure. Soap is made of pin-shaped molecules, each of which has a hydrophilic head it readily bonds with water and a hydrophobic tail, which shuns water and prefers to link up with oils and fats. These molecules, when suspended in water, alternately float about as solitary units, interact with other molecules in the solution and assemble themselves into little bubbles called micelles, with heads pointing outward and tails tucked inside. Some bacteria and viruses have lipid membranes that resemble double-layered micelles with two bands of hydrophobic tails sandwiched between two rings of hydrophilic heads. These membranes are studded with important proteins that allow viruses to infect cells and perform vital tasks that keep bacteria alive. Pathogens wrapped in lipid membranes include corona viruses, H.I.V., the viruses that cause hepatitis B and C, herpes, Ebola, Zika, dengue, and numerous bacteria that attack the intestines and respiratory tract. When you wash your hands with soap and water, you surround any microorganisms on your skin with soap molecules. The hydrophobic tails of the free-floating soap molecules attempt to evade water; in the process, they wedge themselves into the lipid envelopes of certain microbes and viruses, prying them apart. They act like crowbars and destabilize the whole system, said Prof. Pall Thordarson, acting head of chemistry at the University of New South Wales. Essential proteins spill from the ruptured membranes into the surrounding water, killing the bacteria and rendering the viruses useless.

15.01.2022 We have witnessed shelves being cleared of toilet paper in a panic created by the virus, imagine what will happen when people discover the only real help available to buy are face masks and soap, real soap. Viruses can be active outside the body for hours, even days. Disinfectants, liquids, wipes, gels and creams containing alcohol are all useful at getting rid of them but they are not quite as good as normal soap. So why does soap work so well on the Sars-CoV-2, the coron...a-virus and indeed most viruses? The short story: because the virus is a self-assembled nano particle in which the weakest link is the lipid (fatty) bi-layer. Soap dissolves the fat membrane and the virus falls apart like a house of cards and dies or rather, we should say it becomes inactive as viruses aren’t really alive. source; Guardian Newspaper. 14/3/20 Professor of chemistry at the University of New South Wales. Repeated hand washing with our moisturising soaps will prevent dryness and preserve the health of your skin. We are able to continue to supply through our online store if you cannot go to the Eumundi Markets. Stay safe Bryn & Lucy
