Natural soaps will, most of the time, be made with high quality natural ingredients. Sustainably sourced oils such as olive oil and coconut oil are often featured in the production of natural soaps. These oils with cleansing and moisturizing properties are interesting choices for several reasons. Olive oil, for example, is excellent for hydration and it can also be suitable for all skin types. Cold saponification allows us to choose the scents and benefits that we want to bring to our product through the use of essential oils. These specific oils provide benefits (such as antifungal and antimicrobial effects) that do not require the use of chemicals that are harmful to the skin and the environment.

Industrial soaps, on the other hand, will be produced with lower quality ingredients in order to avoid excessive costs. Palm oil (sodium palmate) and animal fat (sodium tallowate) will often be chosen first to ensure the profitability of the product without worrying about the quality and ecological footprint of the latter.

We will often find EDTA (Ethylene-Diamino-Tetra-Acetate) in commercial soaps. It is a chemical product that acts as a foamer and stabilizer for the product, which allows manufacturers to ensure product compliance (no change in smell, color or texture, for example). Correctly dosed, EDTA is not supposed to be harmful to the skin, but it can still be an irritant with uncertain long-term consequences. This agent is toxic for the environment and very difficult to biodegrade.

Another very common ingredient in the manufacture of industrial soaps is called: parabens. Parabens are effective preservatives against microbes and bacteria. On the other hand, they are suspected of being harmful, carcinogenic and of being endocrine disruptors.

Regardless of the method of production, soap remains a detergent, which means that it cleans and removes everything on the surface of the skin. The detergent effect also eliminates the sebum that the skin produces naturally to protect itself. On the other hand, with the cold saponification technique, the soap always contains a good amount of glycerin. The latter will have a crucial role in preserving the natural moisture of the skin. SAF also allows us to properly dose our oils in order to obtain a quantity of surgras. The surgras is in fact a portion of non-saponified oil contained in the soap which deposits a greasy film on the skin, thus protecting and nourishing it.

As mentioned earlier, industrial soap manufacturing techniques allow the glycerin produced by saponification to be removed in order to sell it. The absence of glycerin in a soap can cause the skin to dry out and also negatively affects the elasticity of the latter.

Tea Tree Oil is an oil produced by distilling the leaves of trees of Australian origin belonging to the Melaleuca family. The oil we obtain through this process has powerful antifungal and antimicrobial effects.

With the primary mission of preventing skin infections in combat sports with natural products, the Drill team therefore considers this oil to be a very important ingredient in the making of their products. In duo with geranium oil, tea tree essential oil is an excellent natural ally when it comes to preventing skin infections.

The leaves of various Melaleucas were traditionally used by Australian Aborigines for colds, fevers and congestions. The Bundjalung people of the northeast coast of New South Wales crushed the leaves to make herbal teas.

The first study of the medicinal properties of Melaleuca essential oil dates back to Penfold in 1920 and marked the beginning of the use of the oil rather than the fresh plant. Australian chemist Penfold shows that the oil had eleven times the antimicrobial activity of phenol, the common disinfectant of the time.

Legend has it that many Australian soldiers were equipped with a bottle of essential oils during World War II to treat and prevent various skin infections and to repel insects.
