Soursop, also known as graviola or guanábana, is a tropical fruit famous for its rich nutrients and medicinal properties. While many people enjoy its delicious flavor in juices and smoothies, soursop can also be used in hair and skin care. If you're looking for a natural way to a deep cleansing, soursop soap is a fantastic option.
Why We Use Soursop
Soursop is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and antibacterial properties that make it excellent for skincare. Soursop contains vitamin C and other antioxidants that help fight free radicals, reducing the signs of aging and promoting healthy, glowing skin. It helps soothe irritated skin, making it great for conditions like alopecia, eczema, and psoriasis. The fruit’s natural oils provide hydration, keeping your skin soft and supple. Helps fight bacteria and fungi that can cause irritation and infections.
How We Use Soursop in Our Skincare Line
Extraction - First we bring the leaves of the soursop plant to a boil. Once boiling point is reached, we reduce the heat and brew for 15-20 minutes. After letting it cool for a few minutes, it’s time to strain the liquid.
Lye Solution – Carefully adding lye to distilled water (never the other way around) and stirring until dissolved. The solution will heat up—let it cool to about 100-110°F.
Blending – In a separate pot, oils and butters like olive oil coconut oil, shea butter, and castor oil are melted and mixed well at 100-110°F. Slowly pouring the lye solution into the oils while stirring, it’s almost finished!
Final Steps – The soursop pulp and essential oils are blended in and there we have it!
