Another ingredient to help boost foam creation. It originates from coconut oil.Sodium Thiosulphate
used in fragrance stabilisation and is a type of salt.Sodium Citrate
is a salt of citric acid. Citric acid is an organic acid that occurs naturally in plants and animals. It adjusts the acidity of our soaps.Titanium Dioxide
