A note about the use of coconut oil:
Fractionated coconut oil is beneficial for the skin because most of the long-chain fatty acids, including C12 lauric acid, are removed. The main medium-chain fatty acids present in fractionated coconut oil are C8 (caprylic acid) and C10 (capric acid), making it a light and non-comedogenic option for the skin.
For our Facewash, we use organic virgin coconut oil and perform the saponification reaction similar to castile soap. During saponification, hydroxide ions from potassium hydroxide (LYE) react with the carbonyl group in the oil, resulting in a ratio of three molecules of soap to one molecule of glycerol. The saponification value of C12 lauric acid is very high, approximately 235 mg KOH/g of oil. This process produces a gentle and moisturizing soap where all the fatty acids are converted into glycerol and saponified, ensuring the skin is cleansed without concerns of pore-clogging.
We have formulated the Facewash with Lavender and Peppermint essential oils to effectively clean and disinfect acne-causing bacteria at the cellular level. In our consumer case study, people with acne expressed positive feedback for this product.
In essence, the original coconut oil undergoes a complete transformation, resulting in a distinct and beneficial product.
