How SUDZ Was Born

Image
  In the summer of 2021, SUDZ was founded by Myia Belfast (that’s me) and my sister & cofounder Misty Belfast. We are two creative sisters that live on the island of Tobago, Trinidad & Tobago, that enjoy living a creative and natural life.  After seeing the serious impact of the traditional store bought soaps on our health and women’s health specifically, the amount of soaps that were labelled natural but filled with fragrances and sulphates and frequent complaints of sensitive skin and troubles, they all drove us to see the need of pure and truly natural soap here on our island.  With some research, and inspiration from successful soapers on YouTube along with the encouragement of our future customers, we made our first batch of soap June 2021! After that first batch I was seriously hooked and fell in love with the soaping process, the bar soap and amazing results on my skin and others skin.  I now run the business solely as an entrepreneur, and enjoy servin...

Do you know what’s in your soap?

  Are you aware of the ingredients in regular soap? You may be surprised to learn that many of the products you use every day contain harsh and potentially dangerous chemicals. Unfortunately, these ingredients can have a significant negative impact on your health and the environment. As a consumer, it is important to be mindful of the ingredients in your soap. Many common soaps contain harsh chemicals such as sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), fragrance, triclosan and parabens.  These chemicals can cause skin irritation, allergies, and other health issues. Furthermore, they can be absorbed into our bodies through our skin, entering our bloodstream and potentially causing long-term health problems. What’s worse, these chemicals are not only hazardous to our health but also to the environment. SLS and triclosan, for example, are not biodegradable, meaning they cannot be broken down naturally. This means that they will accumulate in the environment and can be toxic to plants and animal...

The Sudsy Science of Soapmaking

Image
  Ever wondered how soap is made? The art of making natural cold process soap has been around for centuries, from the old Babylonian days way back in history. Natural cold process soap is made by combining natural oils or fats, such as coconut oil, olive oil, and palm oil, with a lye solution. This process is known as saponification and is what creates the soap. The resulting soap is natural, chemical-free, and can be used on both the body and face. Making natural cold process soap is a simple process, but it does require knowledge of basic chemistry. We use a proper formulation, the correct ratio of lye to oil, as well as the correct temperature, in order to ensure that the soap will turn out correctly and produce the desired result on the skin. Each soap can be formulated to serve different purposes and we use natural additives to benefit the skin also. We use different clays, oats, salt, activated charcoal, essential oils for scent, home-grown turmeric powder, annatto infused oi...
