FAQ

Our body soaps are crafted from a blend of carefully sourced organic natural oils, each chosen for their unique skin benefits:

‍Vegetable Glycerin: Derived from coconut, rapeseed, and sunflower oils, vegetable glycerin is an excellent moisturizer that helps keep the skin hydrated and nourished.

‍CocosNucifera (Coconut) Oil: Known for its moisturizing properties, coconut oil helps to hydrate and protect the skin, making it softer and smoother.

‍Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Almond) Oil: Almond oil is rich in vitamins E and A, which are beneficial for skin health, helping to soothe dry skin and improve complexion.

‍RicinusCommunis (Castor) Seed Oil: Castor oil is valued for its skin-conditioning qualities, aiding in moisture retention and promoting overall skin softness.

‍Sodium Chloride (Salt): Extracted from Swiss salt mines, this ingredient helps to thicken the soap and exfoliate the skin gently, removing dead skin cells.

‍Essential Oils (Eucalyptus, Tangerine, Lavandin): These natural fragrances offer various therapeutic properties, from eucalyptus' invigorating effects to tangerine's ability to brighten and cleanse the skin, and lavandin's calming benefits.

Each of these ingredients is chosen not only for their ability to cleanse but also to provide a nourishing, soothing experience, enhancing the skin's natural beauty.

We are committed to environmental sustainability in both our products and packaging. Our bottles are crafted from European recycled plastic, using low CO2 processes and designed based on the Cradle-to-Cradle (C2C) principle, ensuring they can be continuously reused in a sustainable circular system. Additionally, our soaps are made from 100% natural raw materials like salt and nuts, enhanced with essential oils, all sourced from responsible suppliers.

100% of the raw materials we use are of natural origin. Natural origin means that the starting materials for our raw materials can be found in nature (e.g. plants, minerals, salts, etc.).

For example, in our case, we use potassium hydroxide to saponify the oils when making our soaps, which is obtained from potassium chloride, a salt that occurs naturally in many regions of the world.

We only work with carefully selected suppliers and natural raw materials that care for your skin and the environment.

SO Natürlich products are palm oil free.

We avoid using silicone due to its persistent nature, which means it accumulates in ecosystems as it resists biodegrading. We also reject palm oil, not only for its role in deforestation and wildlife disruption, but also because its monoculture plantations dominate a staggering percentage of the world's vegetable oil production, reducing biodiversity.

SO Natürlich is completely vegan.

SO products are made from 100% naturally-derived raw materials. There are no microplastics in our ingredients, therefore none in our products. Our natural care will always be 100% microplastic free.

We control the whole chain of production and it takes place in-house at the Soeder soap factory in Zurich. This allows us to oversee all processes, ensuring that our products are completely natural, sustainable, and provide a positive impact to our customers’ lives.

The energy from our soap manufacturing process is reused and harnessed to power not only the rest of our production line but also to heat up the building. This initiative is paving the way for our factory to become energy positive by 2026.

Not yet. Since our SO products are available on a huge scale, we needed the product itself to have a low carbon footprint.

Please dispose of the bottle sensibly after use. Most supermarkets have disposal facilities for PE-HD.

The packaging is made of 100% recycled European plastic and, after proper PE-HD disposal, returns to the material cycle for reuse.

SO body soaps are available online at galaxus.ch, perfecthair.ch, haar-shop.ch, brack.ch, as well as in retail at more than 500 Coop stores throughout Switzerland.

Our SO Natürlich products are NATRUE certified. The NATRUE certification is not only a quality benchmark for producers but also ensures transparency and reliability for the consumer. It helps consumers to identify authentic natural and organic cosmetics and avoid greenwashing. Learn more about NATRUE.
