We are extremely pleased to announce that experts in pure handmade soaps and lotions, Born to be Natural, have selected our Spanish Extra Virgin Olive Oil ‘Codegenil’ from Cordoba as the base for their exclusive natural soaps.
According to founder Malcolm Pascoe, “the higher quality the olive oil, the better the resulting soap”, and Born to be Natural were certainly overjoyed with the result the ‘Codegenil’ oil gave them after months of testing with scores of different oils.
“We only considered food-grade oil of the highest quality,” says Malcolm, “the result is just so much better when using an exquisite olive oil. The colour and texture that this oil give us is spot-on, a sure sign of the quality of the ingredient. It is this first pressing of extra virgin oil that we use in the manufacture of our products – unfiltered with the suspension of fruit particles remaining after pressing. For soap making, the acidity is not important (it is just for the taste) and a higher acidity means more Oleic Fatty Acid (60%-80%) and natural antioxidants. Olive oil also contains Squalane which has the ability to help the skin to retain moisture while nourishing and providing protection for all skin types, especially dry and sensitive. It is non-greasy and non-comedogenic (does not clog the pores). It has also been proven to accelerate the healing process due to its Vitamin E content. Our skin also contains Squalane and the composition is very similar to the Olive fruit Squalane, which is why the oil penetrates and feeds the skin so effectively. This is the most superior oil to manufacture a mild, gentle, cleansing soap that is moisturising and conditioning for the skin and full of natural vitamins.
Born To Be Natural was founded in the recession year of 2009 and was Born in Hampshire, England to bring to the personal care market the current collection of 100% Natural, ethical, high quality Skin Care, Hair Care & Aromatherapy, together with luxurious handmade soaps and pamper products at affordable prices for this level of quality.
Exclusively available online, Born To Be Natural products are sourced from France, from companies having the highest of quality standards, and should never be compared with inferior products, costing vastly more, due to their massive advertising and packaging costs.
