THE SCIENCE BEHIND LAUREL BERRY OIL SOAP
Once you try it, you’ll never go back!
After using laurel berry oil soap, it’s hard to switch to anything else! Laurel berry oil is the "not-so-secret" ingredient in our fabulous soaps, crafted with an ancestral recipe. Say goodbye to artificial products and hello to the wonders of noble laurel oil, which has proven its benefits over millennia!
At Laurea®, our soaps are made with key natural ingredients: laurel berry oil and olive oil. With over 25% laurel berry oil in each soap bar, our products offer numerous benefits. Why do we focus so much on these advantages? What makes our soaps so extraordinary?
Absorption
Laurel berry oil is easily absorbed by the skin, allowing it to penetrate the barrier of dead cells and glycolipids on the skin’s surface. Thanks to its fatty acids and short protein strands, our laurel berry oil soap can navigate this tough barrier, reach the living tissue underneath, and provide deep skin hydration as well as efficient delivery of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. Unlike commercial water-based detergents, our natural oil-based soap doesn’t rely on chemicals to bypass the skin’s defenses or deliver synthetic vitamins to living tissue.
Exfoliation
Laurea® soap naturally contains phenols, thiols, beta-carotene, and tannins, which help remove dead skin cells by weakening the bonds between them, leaving your skin younger and more supple.
Hydration
The fatty molecules in Laurea® soap, derived from olive oil and laurel berry oil, moisturize the skin by deeply penetrating and filling cracks along the way, effectively "sealing in" the water. The proteins (amino acids) in laurel berry oil act as humectants, attracting water molecules to dynamically hydrate the skin.
Restoration
Laurel berry oil repairs skin damage, maintains healthy skin, and reduces wrinkles by aiding epidermal differentiation through the vitamins A and E found in both laurel berry and olive oils. Epidermal differentiation is the process of skin renewal, where cells are continuously created at the base of the epidermis, travel to the surface, undergo modifications, and perform various functions before dying and flaking off.
Protection
The antioxidant elements in olive oil, such as vitamin E, carotenoids, and phenols like hydroxytyrosol and oleuropein, reduce oxidative stress on the skin by neutralizing free radicals. These unstable atoms damage cellular DNA, cause wrinkles, fine lines, and dry skin by stealing electrons from other atoms. Antioxidants provide electrons to free radicals to prevent them from harming healthy cells, keeping the skin youthful, radiant, and supple. Sun exposure is often the main cause of free radicals. Antioxidants like vitamins A and E also donate electrons to prevent damage to healthy cells.
Result
A radiant, supple, and ever-youthful skin!
