Meet the Ingredients
At Del Toro Ranch, we believe every ingredient should earn its place in the bar. That's why we use a carefully selected blend of traditional soap-making ingredients known for their quality, simplicity, and performance.
Organic Virgin Cold-Pressed Coconut Oil
Made from fresh organic coconuts and minimally processed, this oil is a cornerstone of our recipe. It helps create a rich, bubbly lather and contributes to a hard, long-lasting bar. We choose virgin, cold-pressed coconut oil because it retains its natural character and quality.
Grass-Fed & Finished Beef Tallow
A time-tested ingredient that has been used in soap making for generations. Tallow helps create a firm, durable bar with a creamy lather. We use tallow sourced from cattle that are grass-fed and grass-finished because quality ingredients matter. Shop Tallow Soap
Organic Castor Oil
Organic, cold-pressed, hexane-free, and unbleached. A small amount of castor oil goes a long way. It helps support a dense, creamy lather and contributes to the overall feel of the soap. We use organic castor oil to complement the rest of our carefully balanced formula in select bars.
Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Organic extra virgin olive oil has been used in traditional soap making for centuries. It helps create a mild, creamy lather and contributes to a smooth, gentle cleansing experience. Rich in naturally occurring fatty acids, it's a staple ingredient in quality handcrafted soap.
Organic Raw Honey
Organic raw honey adds a touch of luxury and warmth to handmade soap. It helps boost lather, contributes to a smooth feel, and contains naturally occurring compounds found in real honey. We love it because it's a simple, recognizable ingredient that has been valued for generations. Shop Signature Oats & Honey
Organic Fair-Trade Cacao Powder
Organic fair-trade cacao powder gives our soap its rich, earthy color naturally. Cacao naturally contains antioxidants and minerals, including magnesium, iron, zinc, potassium, and calcium.
We use it because it's a simple, recognizable ingredient that helps us create handcrafted soap without artificial colors or synthetic additives. It also lends our Cacao bars their naturally faint chocolate aroma.
Organic Colloidal Oats
Made from finely ground organic oats, colloidal oats are a time-tested ingredient used in many personal care products. In soap, they provide gentle exfoliation and help create a rich, creamy lather. They leave the bar feeling smooth while adding a naturally rustic character.
Organic, Raw, Unrefined African Shea Butter
Harvested from the nuts of the African shea tree in Ghana, this traditional ingredient has been valued for centuries. We use raw, unrefined shea butter because it retains its natural color and character. It adds richness to our bars and complements the other oils and fats in the recipe.
Food-Grade Sodium Hydroxide (Lye)
Every true bar of soap requires an alkali to transform oils and fats into soap through a process called saponification. We use food-grade sodium hydroxide for this purpose. When the soap-making process is complete, no sodium hydroxide remains in the finished bar.
Organic Matcha
Finely ground green tea made from whole tea leaves. We add organic matcha to our soap for its naturally occurring plant compounds and the earthy green character it brings to the finished bar. No added fragrance or dyes. Shop Tallow Matcha Bar
French Green Clay
This naturally occurring mineral clay is known for its distinctive earthy green color. It gives our soap a rugged appearance and adds a smooth, silky feel to the finished bar.
Mediterranean Red Clay Powder
Sourced from naturally occurring clay deposits, this mineral-rich clay provides a warm reddish color and contributes to the unique look and character of our soap.
Activated Charcoal Derived from Coconut
Made from coconut shells, this finely milled activated charcoal gives our soap its bold black color and distinctive appearance. It also contributes to the hardworking character of our charcoal bars.
Kaolin Clay
Kaolin clay contributes to a smooth, creamy lather and complements activated charcoal in our soap formulas.
