Our ingredients
Want to know the benefits behind the ingredients we craft with? Transparency is key at Vidis. Below you will find a list of our skin-loving oils and butters, where they come from, and exactly what they do for your skin.
Sustainable Palm Oil
Origin: Derived from the fruit of the oil palm tree.
🌿 A Note on Sustainability:
First and foremost, the palm oil we use is RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) Certified. This guarantees that our ingredient contributes to the preservation of orangutan habitats, supports fair trade, and ensures ethical sourcing. We take this very seriously.
Skin Benefits:
Palm oil is the secret to a hard, long-lasting bar of soap that still produces a rich, creamy lather. Rich in fatty acids, Vitamin E, and antioxidants, it deeply moisturizes, nourishes, and protects the skin. It helps improve elasticity and supports the skin barrier, making it an excellent choice for dry or sensitive skin.
Coconut Oil
Origin: Comes from the coconut kernel, the white fleshy part inside the hard shell of the coconut fruit.
Skin Benefits:
It offers deep moisturizing, antibacterial cleaning, and anti-inflammatory benefits, thanks to fatty acids like lauric acid, creating rich lather, removing dirt, and hydrating skin without stripping oils, making it great for acne-prone or dry skin.
Olive Oil
Origin:Vegetable oil obtained by pressing whole olives (the fruit of Olea europaea, a traditional tree crop of the Mediterranean Basin) and extracting the oil.
Skin Benefits:
It offers deep moisturizing, antioxidant protection, and gentle cleansing, making it great for sensitive skin, eczema, and acne, as it hydrates without stripping natural oils, fights aging, and soothes inflammation, while also being natural, biodegradable, and good for the environment. It nourishes skin, promotes cell regeneration, improves tone, and is even used for hair and baby care, making it a versatile, natural skincare choice.
Canola Oil
Origin:It originates from a genetically improved rapeseed variety, developed by Canadian scientists in the 1970s to have low levels of erucic acid.
Skin Benefits:
Canola oil in soap offers deep hydration, skin barrier support, and anti-inflammatory benefits due to its omega fatty acids (like omega-3 & 6) and Vitamin E, making skin softer, smoother, and more resilient, helping with dryness, irritation, and promoting a healthy complexion with a creamy lather.
Beeswax
Origin:Beeswax comes from young worker honey bees (house bees), which produce it from honey they consume using special glands on their abdomens, secreting tiny wax flakes that harden in the air, and then chew and mold into the hexagonal cells of the honeycomb for storing honey, pollen, and raising young.
Skin Benefits:
Beeswax soap benefits skin by locking in moisture with a protective barrier, acting as a natural humectant, and providing antibacterial/anti-inflammatory properties, making it great for soothing dry, irritated skin like eczema or psoriasis. It softens skin, promotes healing, contains skin-rejuvenating Vitamin A, and creates a gentle, protective layer against environmental irritants without clogging pores.
