Ecology:
Biodegradation: Soap made from vegetable oils has the unique property of combining with the lime that is always present in wastewater immediately after use. This means that the soap neutralizes its surface-active effect (primary degradation). This primary degradation takes place within a few hours. The lime soap is then 100% broken down by microorganisms into carbon dioxide and water (secondary degradation). Ethanol is reintegrated into the natural cycle within a few hours. In addition to the natural glycerin that is released from the oils during saponification, we also use vegetable glycerin, which binds the skin's moisture. During the production process for sugar surfactants, parts of the plant-based raw materials, such as starch, sugar and fat, are removed, but their natural structure is completely preserved. It is therefore relatively easy for the microorganisms to break down these surfactants quickly and completely to 100%. According to the OECD, soap and sugar surfactants are considered to be easily biodegradable.
