Etter gjenopplivingen av produksjon og bruk av håndlaget såpe begynte såpeindustriens konkurranse med tradisjonell såpeproduksjon, og ikke på en flatterende måte. Imidlertid begynte også uavhengige forskere å forske på den såkalte cold-processed såpen, eller håndlaget såpe, og tilhørende pH-verdier. Forskningsresultatene deres skapte tillit til det jeg lager og selger. Jeg arkiverte de viktigste undersøkelsene og publikasjonene, slik at alle kan finne informasjon om fakta.
En av de mest slående fakta er at såpe aldri er naturvennlig, heller ikke når såpen er naturlig, organisk, heller ikke når såpe- og vaskemiddelselgere oppgir at produktet deres kan brukes i naturen, “fordi det er biologisk nedbrytbart”. Årsak: pH-verdien til enhver form for såpe, og pH-verdien til elver, hav, innsjøer og jordsmonn varierer fra område til område og er sammenvevd med den naturlige balansen til hver enkelt unike biotop. Naturen trenger flere tiår for å gjenopprette pH-nivået, og stort sett kommer den seg aldri tilbake.
Det er derfor viktig å vite hvordan man bruker såpe, hva slags såpe, hvorfor, hvor og når. Ingredienser er essensielle. Den enkleste formelen er den beste. Mer enn én slags olje gjør ikke såpen bedre. De eldste såpene stammer fra den babylonske tiden, rundt 2800 f.Kr., og var olivenoljesåper.
