- Safe for Sensitive Skin
- Biodegradable
Our liquid soap: Dolce Mia liquid soap is a Castile soap. Castile soap is a , vegetable oil based natural soap that has been around for hundreds of years. Castile soap isn't a brand, but a type of soap made exclusively from vegetable oil (often olive oil) rather than animal fat or synthetic substances.
In our castile soap, we use a combination of extra virgin olive oil and coconut oils to create a soap that cleans effectively without being aggressive - a soap that leaves the skin silky-smooth and refreshed. Our natural liquid soap has a high level of glycerine with no sulfates, surfactants or detergents which gently cleans the skin.
Glycerine is good! And our bar soap contains a high amount of natural vegetable glycerine. A natural humectant, glycerine attracts moisture to the skin. Glycerin soaps are known to have a mild ph and are gentle, moisturizing and softening. A high glycerine soap is especially good for sensitive and delicate skin, and for children.
No Unnecessary Additives: We stay as close to natural as possible using the highest quality soap ingredients and avoiding unnecessary additives in our liquid soap. For example, we do not use sodium lauryl sulfate - a thickening and sudsing agent. Dolce Mia liquid soap lathers up beautifully on its own, so we would never want to add an ingredient that literally strips away the benefits of our soap. What we put into our soap is just as important as what we leave out. We use ingredients such as olive oil, shea butter and lots of glycerine to gently cleanse, moisturize and protect skin.
Packaging and Design on our Bath and Body Products
Style with Substance: We have always had a thing for vintage, particularly retro-modern – a contemporary take on classic aesthetic. Turns out this is extremely popular these days. More than ever, people are gravitating towards the comfort zone of nostalgia - a simpler life, a return to “home” and the familiar.
Our “look” is not sterile or omni-present. Nor is it passé. Our packaging conveys imagery and style that speaks to everyone – we zero in on personality and help consumers to express their individualism. Paired with a luxurious, effective bath and body products, we have created something special and have set ourselves apart from the rest of the personal care market. Why not have it all? Highest quality bath and body products along with gorgeous design make them perfect as wedding favors and baby shower gifts.
The power of smell: Even our scents have a nostalgic quality about them. We worked hard to develop scents that were both refreshing and familiar. Whether it is fruit or floral, our blends are sophisticated and attractive. Our scents are light, natural and not over-perfumed. We use consumer-safe fragrance oils in our soaps and lotions that include natural ingredients.
Close to Home
Local Production: Our research indicates that many personal care products are made overseas, in several different countries. Proud to be MADE IN THE U.S.A, our bar soap and liquid soap is made right here in Northern California using traditional, time tested soap recipes - no shortcuts, no overseas production (it's surprising how many soaps are not made in the USA!). The benefits of local production include reduced carbon footprint, procuring local ingredients, hiring local people – enhancing the local economy, and employing family businesses like our own, whenever possible.
“Green” as a Lifestyle
Going Green: For us, going green means simply using recipes and ingredients that were developed before the industrial and chemical revolutions - using ingredients that are pure and locally procured, when possible, and keeping production within our local economy. Green is not a marketing tool for us, we just happened to have embraced a lifestyle and business philosophy that falls within the definition of “being green.”
Once you've tried our bath and body products, we're sure Dolce Mia soaps and lotions will be your preferred brand. |
