Sodium hydroxide in soap making
In the soap making process, sodium hydroxide plays a vital role in a chemical reaction called saponification. Saponification is the process by which oils and fats combine with sodium hydroxide to create soap. While sodium hydroxide may sound intimidating, it is a necessary ingredient that undergoes a complete transformation during saponification, resulting in a safe and gentle soap.During saponification, sodium hydroxide reacts with the fatty acids in the oils and fats, breaking them down and forming soap molecules and glycerine. This chemical reaction is carefully controlled to ensure that all the sodium hydroxide is used up in the process, leaving behind no traces in the final soap product.
Using sodium hydroxide in soap making allows us to create a beautiful, luxurious bar that effectively cleanses and nourishes the skin. Rest assured, the simple chemistry of saponification ensures that the sodium hydroxide is fully converted, making our soaps perfectly safe for use. We prioritize the safety and well-being of our customers, and each batch of soap undergoes rigorous testing to ensure its quality and effectiveness.
Magnesium Sulfate
Magnesium Sulfate, also known as Epsom Salt, is a key ingredient in our bath salts and bath bombs, offering numerous benefits and a luxurious experience for our customers.- Relaxation and Stress Relief: Magnesium sulfate has natural calming properties that help promote relaxation and ease stress. When dissolved in warm water, it creates a soothing bath environment, allowing your mind and body to unwind after a long day.

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI) vs Polysorbate 80
At Baroochi, we believe in using the best ingredients to create exceptional products for our customers. That's why we use Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate in our bath bombs instead of polysorbate 80. Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate is a gentle, plant-derived surfactant that helps create a luxurious lather and effectively cleanses your skin without stripping away its natural moisture.Unlike polysorbate 80, which is commonly used in bath products, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate is milder and less likely to cause skin irritations or sensitivities. It is also biodegradable and eco-friendly, making it a better choice for both your skin and the environment.
By choosing bath bombs with Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, you can indulge in a relaxing and nourishing bath experience while knowing that you're using a product that is gentle on your skin and environmentally conscious. Experience the difference for yourself and treat yourself to a truly luxurious bath with Baroochi bath bombs.

SLSA is a natural plant-derived ingredient that we use in our bath bombs to provide a safe and enjoyable bathing experience.- Derived from Coconut and Palm Oils: SLSA is derived from renewable sources such as coconut and palm oils, making it a plant-based alternative to synthetic surfactants. It undergoes a natural chemical reaction that transforms it into a gentle and effective cleanser.
- Biodegradable and Environmentally Friendly: SLSA is biodegradable and breaks down easily in the environment, posing no harm to aquatic life or ecosystems. We prioritize sustainability and strive to create products that are both effective and eco-friendly.
- Mild and Gentle on the Skin: Despite its strong cleansing properties, SLSA is considered a mild and gentle ingredient. It has a larger molecular size compared to other surfactants, which means it is less likely to penetrate the skin and cause irritation. This makes it suitable for even sensitive skin types.

It is widely used in personal care products and has been extensively tested for safety.
