Luxury Soaps : Nutritional Value Information
Would you consider a fast food meal “super-sized” to be a gourmet meal? Of course not!
Super-sized is often presented in flashy packaging, with a fragrance that either repulses you or pulls you in. You often walk away with more than you bargained for; unhealthy weight gain, cardiovascular and metabolic morbidity (highly processed, lots of saturated fats, hydrogenated fats and refined sugar, salt by the teaspoons, very little fiber, very few vegetables and fruit) add to that heartburn, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Sure, the serving is huge; typically enough food for three but it’s really what’s inside that counts. When you give in to that “but it’s cheaper” mindset, you do get what you pay for and so does your body.
A healthy meal (whether prepared at a gourmet restaurant or at home with your family) is presented naturally and organically. It’s pure aroma is irresistible. With portions that are just the right size, filled with herbs, spices and natural vitamins and minerals that build your body, your immune system and keep you healthy and happy. Not only is family time a luxury these days, but time for a healthy meal is too!
The same holds true for luxury soaps. It’s not about the size of the bar or the flashy overseas packaging it’s about the entire experience.
Where did your soap bar come from?
Did it start with Fatty Acid Neutralized Soap Base (ours) or Kettle Saponified Soap Base (theirs)?
The size of a bar is no reflection of the luxurious quality of a soap bar. Many other brands use a (yellow colored) soap base that was created using a kettle saponification process. A kettle saponification process limits the quality of the end product, limits the color stability and also length of time the scent is carried by the bar. In regard to soap base (vegetable being the medium we are using) kettle saponification has no option to break down the fatty acids of the palm and/or palm kernel oils.
Our bar is produced using fatty acid neutralization. What this means is that we are able to break down the fatty acids of the palm and palm kernel oils to create ratios that produce the highest quality bar, most stable color (won’t fade back to the yellow base of a kettle saponified bar, as our base starts snowflake white), and a harder bar with more lather (thus a longer lasting bar – even if smaller because short chain fatty acids are removed). Carved Solutions doesn’t use heavily perfumed, inexpensive fragrances often found in the marketplace to try to entice you into thinking something is luxurious – don’t fall for their smoke and mirrors! 
With a range of natural ingredients and essential oil scents we bring you the simple purities and true aromatherapy experience you desire.
A popular way to create soap is using what we refer to as “lab technique” manufacturing (we only produce hand/leg pressed bars when we are specifying new products). Typically, a manual leg press creates the pressing of the mold(s) by “hand” or actually stepping on the mold machine to create the product.
Our manufacturer supports us with an extrusion and pressing operation consisting of eight soap manufacturing lines. Each line is optimized for the quality and innovation that the most demanding cosmetic companies require. With several different press types we can produce almost any conceivable bar soap shape and look with weights that range from under one ounce to one pound. Using a true manufacturing process with quality that has earned our manufacturer the reputation of being the most innovative private label soap manufacturer creates a homogenized, uniform and consistent product.
Top that all off with our proprietary carving technologies and you’ve got a personalized gourmet meal, I mean luxury soap bar awaiting your quiet bathing escape.
