FAQs

SUP stands for single-use plastic. It's any plastic product that is made to only be used one time. Our goal is to reduce reliance on SUP in favor of MUP - multi-use plastic, which can be reused or repurposed.

Absolutely. All product containers can be recycled after use.

No, we don’t use SLS, but we do use Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES). Their names sound so similar that they seem interchangeable, but SLES is formulated to be much, much gentler on the skin than SLS.

Both Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) are commonly used in personal care products like soap, toothpaste, and shampoo. Both chemicals are surfactants - active agents that, in the case of soap, blend the soap’s ingredients together and allow them to cleanse the skin. They’re also foaming agents, allowing for more satisfying soap suds

SLS can be irritating and drying to the skin because, when left on the skin for an extended period of time, it’s able to penetrate the top layers of the skin, stripping it of moisture and causing a reaction. SLES, on the other hand, is made to be less irritating and doesn’t strip the skin of excess moisture.

SLES works in Zyfe soap to allow for a more satisfying and cleansing hand washing experience, creating foaming action without drying the skin. We opted for SLES rather than SLS to avoid the drying effects of SLS.

Each bottle of Zyfe soap is infused with vitamins B3 (as Niacinamide), B5 (as Panthenol), E, and C, as well as Biotin. 

The product pages for each soap have a complete list of ingredients, so you can find out exactly what’s in your favorite scent.
