If you’ve ever struggled with dry, itchy skin (especially for little ones), you know how important it is to find gentle, moisturizing soap. That’s why, here at Life Essentials Refillery, we don’t just make soap—we “superfat” it. But what does that mean, and why does it matter for your family’s skin?
What Is “Superfatting” Soap?
When soap is made, natural oils and butters are blended with a base to create the cleansing bar. Most big-brand soaps are made to be as cheap and long-lasting as possible, which often means stripping away those nourishing oils. That’s why they can leave skin feeling tight or dry.
“Superfatting” is when we add extra natural oils and butters into the recipe—on purpose. These extra fats don’t fully turn into soap. Instead, they stay in the bar to nourish and moisturize your skin every time you wash.
Why We Superfat Every Soap We Make
At Life Essentials Refillery, we handcraft every bar of soap in-house. We choose to superfat our recipes because we believe your soap should care for your skin—not just clean it. Here’s why it’s so important to us:
-
Extra moisture for dry skin – The added oils give your skin a soft, hydrated feel.
-
Gentle enough for kids – Superfatted soaps are less harsh, making them a better choice for sensitive skin.
-
Natural and safe – We use plant-based ingredients, not harsh detergents or fillers.
-
Better for the planet – No greenwashing, no waste—just clean, simple goodness.
The Difference You’ll Feel
Moms often tell us they notice a difference right away. Their kids’ skin feels softer, their own hands don’t crack as easily, and shower time feels a little more like self-care. Superfatting is our way of making sure that every bar you pick up at our refillery does more than clean—it comforts and nourishes.
Our Promise to You
We make all of our soaps in small batches right here in the store, so you know exactly what’s in them. Every batch is superfatted to keep your family’s skin happy and moisturized—naturally.

While they’re crafted with gentle, skin-loving ingredients, they are not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure medical conditions. If you or your child has specific skin concerns, we always recommend consulting with a healthcare professional.
