The benefits of our ingredients

At La Savonnerie Royale, we select exceptional ingredients to craft our products.

Olive Oil

Olive oil is renowned for its nourishing and emollient properties: it helps regulate the skin’s natural hydration system. Olive oil is an exceptional natural ingredient made from the pulp of olives. It is suitable for all skin types, including dry and delicate skin.

Olive oil forms the vegetable base of our liquid soaps at La Savonnerie Royale.

Soybean Oil

This exceptional ingredient is an ideal vegetable wax, which can be found in our perfumed candles! Made from soybean plants, it gives the wax of our candles a smooth and glossy surface. It also helps prevent unpleasant odours while the candle is burning or when it is extinguished.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is known for its moisturising, repairing, nourishing and soothing properties. It is made from the pulp of coconuts. It is suitable for all skin types, including dry and delicate skin.

Coconut oil forms part of the vegetable base of our liquid soaps and is also found in the wax of our perfumed candles at La Savonnerie Royale.

Mango Butter

Mango butter is an exceptional natural and plant-based ingredient. It is an ideal vegetable wax, which is used in our La Savonnerie Royale perfumed candles. Mango butter is obtained from the kernel (or stone) found inside the mango, which is pressed to extract its precious butter.

Shea Butter

Shea, a member of the Sapotaceae family, comes from trees that grow naturally in the wild without treatment. They have a very long lifespan and begin producing fruit from around their fifteenth year. Fresh, ripe fruits are collected by women in Burkina Faso as they fall from the trees, between mid-June and mid-September. The fruits are stripped of their pulp, washed, boiled and dried in the sun. The kernel containing the fat used to produce the butter is then removed. The kernels are crushed with a pestle, roasted and taken to a mill to be ground into a brownish paste. The paste is then kneaded and mixed with water to produce the familiar creamy-white butter.

Shea butter is renowned for its ability to nourish the skin and form a protective film that helps prevent dehydration. It is particularly suitable for dry and damaged skin and helps protect the skin from cold weather and the elements.
