About Monolaurin Soap
The Problem with Commercial Antibiotic Soap
The difficulty with most antibacterial soaps is that they usually use alcohol
or triclosan (a poison banned in parts of Europe - be careful not to get it in
cuts or mucus areas where it can be absorbed).
Chemical agents also damage the good microbial flora on your skin, caus-
ing an increased shedding (promoting the dry, scaly look). Damaging the
microbial flora can actually lead to an increased risk of transmission of
pathogenic microorganisms from any sources.
Our Monolaurin Soap
We wanted an alternative foaming soap without alcohol or triclosan! We
were able to emulsify, the now famous, monolaurin (found in mother's milk
and your body can make it from coconut oil) into the soap. Happily, repeat-
ed use of monolaurin does not affect the protective bacterial flora of the
skin (Larson, 2001, Carson and Riley, 1995.)
Then, we were able to add coconut phospholipids and therapeutic grade
essential oils that have been known and used for centuries to add a fuller
range of protection!
We also designed it to be 78% organic and nourishing and gentle to the
skin. Our Monolaurin Soap is used in general everyday use because repeat-
ed washing still leaves the skin soft and protected. It turned out to be so
delightful that it has become a win-win solution for everyone in multiple
applications!
With all these attributes, our Monolaurin Soap is the ultimate addition to
a clean and natural workplace and household.
