Soap is a cleaning or emulsifying agent made with animal or vegetable fats and or oils. Soaps act by emulsifying grease, which therefore lowers the surface tension of the water in the solution; this makes it easier for the product to penetrate materials.
In personal care products soap can dry out your skin and in hair products it is said to encourage dandruff. Going ‘soap-free’ means you are using fewer chemicals. So it is particularly good for people with sensitive skin to choose products that are soap-free.

SOAP FREE PRODUCTS
Genetic Engineering is a hot issue in New Zealand and the mere possibility of GE crops being produced here has lead to many protests and debates.
There is a belief that even the smallest exposure or trials done to genetically engineer crops in New Zealand would be catastrophic, because in part it would destroy New Zealand’s reputation as a safe, clean food producer. We believe that nature shouldn’t be messed with and we would prefer our environment and all the good things in it, to be as natural and honest as possible, because we want New Zealand to stay beautiful and green forever.
None of our plant-based ingredients come from GE crops – including ingredients like corn, wheat and coconut.
