“Pure Soap” Made With Soybean Oil
 ✖  |
While many soap makers highlight ingredients and scents added to their soap recipes, Christine Jones serves an important market because of ingredients not added to her soap products. Jones’ Pure Soap Flake products do not have additives, enzymes, fragrances, GMOs or sodium lauryl sulfate.
“I love that we use organically-grown, Midwestern soybean oil. Soybean oil is wonderful for the skin, has nice emollients, and cleans and conditions at the same time,” says Jones about the soap made at her Jenkins, Minn., business.
Making Pure Soap Flakes is a process that starts with making 40-lb. blocks of soap that are cured for six months. The soap is then shaved into thin sheets by specialized equipment designed by a former logger. The shavings are spread on racks and dried again before going in a tumbler for flaking and a final drying.
Soap flakes can be made into a liquid soap by adding water. Liquefied Pure Soap Flake products can be used as shampoo, for bathing, and to hand wash delicate fabrics. There are many uses for Pure Soap Flake products, and recipes are provided in shipments and on the company website.
“When you clean with chemicals like sodium lauryl sulfate it takes fiber off your fabric and skin off your face,” Jones explains. “Our soap products are natural. They lift off dirt and gently remove it. I have sweaters that are five generations old that have only been washed with soap flakes.”
To create laundry soap, Jones uses her grandmother’s recipe. She mixes ground soap flakes with Borax, baking soda and washing soda in a cement mixer. Just one tablespoon dissolved in 2 cups hot water is enough soap for a load of clothes in a washing machine.
Pure Soap Flake Company products can be purchased through the company’s website and a growing number of retailers.
Soap flakes start at $16/lb.; laundry powder sells for $8/lb. (40 loads); and soap bars are $6.50 for a 4.5 oz. bar. Jones offers discounts on bulk orders and has wholesale prices. Call for more information.
