Unveiling LunaCo’s Artisan Alchemy: Technical Mastery Behind Goddess‑Inspired Soaps and Candle Workshops .
LunaCo Soap has positioned itself at the intersection of craftsmanship, mythology, and modern skin science, delivering products that are both aesthetically evocative and technically precise. The story behind our goddess‑inspired soaps is not merely a marketing narrative; it is a documented process that begins with the selection of raw botanical oils, proceeds through controlled saponification, and concludes with a calibrated cure period that guarantees consistent pH, hardness, and lather quality across each batch.
From a formulation perspective, each bar in the goddess soap collection originates from a base of cold‑process olive oil, shea butter, and coconut oil, blended in a 4:2:1 ratio by weight. This specific blend offers a balanced fatty‑acid profile: oleic acid for deep moisturization, stearic acid for a firm bar, and lauric acid for a creamy lather. The saponification index is calculated using a precise NaOH weight to achieve a final product that registers a pH of 9.2 ± 0.1, which is then dialed down to a skin‑friendly pH of 6.5 ± 0.2 through a controlled "superfatting" of 8 %. These figures are verified in‑house with a calibrated pH meter and a digital hardness tester, ensuring each bar meets the same technical standards.
Beyond the core oils, the goddess‑inspired scents are composed of 100 % therapeutic‑grade essential oils, each selected for its aromatic resonance with the deity it represents. For example, the Athena bar incorporates rosemary and pine needle essential oils, both known for their clarifying aroma and antioxidant capacity. The essential oil load is capped at 3 % of the total weight to prevent fragrance bleed and to maintain the integrity of the soap’s lamellar structure, which directly influences the bar’s longevity and resistance to rapid dissolution in water.
