Why We Talk About Ingredients
When it comes to skincare, what’s inside your soap matters just as much as how it smells or looks. At Suffuse, we believe in ingredient transparency and using only what truly nourishes your skin. That’s why we’re opening up our ingredient shelf to show you exactly what oils and butters we use and what we choose to leave out.
Our Core Oils: The Backbone of Every Bar
Every Suffuse soap starts with a base of time-tested oils that are ideal for Indian skin and weather:
- Coconut Oil – Rich in cleansing power and gives a fluffy, bubbly lather
- Palm Oil – Adds hardness and a stable lather (we source it responsibly)
- Sunflower Oil – Light, moisturizing, and gentle on sensitive skin
- Castor Oil – Boosts lather and provides a silky, conditioning finish
Special Additions: Luxurious Oils for Skin-Loving Benefits
For certain blends, we go the extra mile and add premium oils that offer deep nourishment:
- Olive Oil – Exceptionally gentle and perfect for dry or mature skin
- Almond Oil – Light, vitamin-rich, and great for soothing irritation
- Jojoba Oil – Closely mimics the skin’s natural oils and balances moisture
- Avocado Oil – Deeply nourishing and packed with antioxidants
- Apricot Oil – Lightweight and calming for sensitive skin
- Hempseed Oil – High in essential fatty acids, great for inflammation
The Butters: Rich, Creamy & Moisture-Locking
We love using natural butters for their creamy texture and deep hydration:
- Shea Butter – Soothes, heals, and softens even the driest skin
- Cocoa Butter – Protective and deeply moisturizing
- Kokum Butter – Lightweight, non-comedogenic, and skin-repairing
- Mango Butter – Rich in vitamins A & E, and great for summer skin
No Animal Fats, Ever
We do not use tallow, lard, or any rendered animal fats in our soaps. Our philosophy is plant-first, and every oil and butter is carefully chosen for its skin benefits.
That said, we do include traditional dairy-based ingredients in select bars for their natural skin-loving properties:
- Cow Milk – Moisturizing and soothing for sensitive skin
- Goat Milk – Gently exfoliating and deeply hydrating
- Yogurt – Naturally rich in lactic acid, great for glow
- Ghee – Ayurvedic and ultra-nourishing
- Whey – Protein-rich and calming
Why This Matters
We know that sensitive skin and ethical choices go hand in hand. That’s why we never hide what goes into our bars. Everything we use is carefully tested for safety, skin-friendliness, and freshness.
We keep it clean, honest, and rooted in tradition with ingredients your skin will love and your conscience can trust.
