For many years Mode de Vie emile's soap used Shea butter in unequalled levels of concentration in formulas. The manufacture based in Provence used cauldrons and vegetable oils (Palm, Coprah, Olive .) which under the action of heat and soda, are dissociated into fatty acids and glycerin.
Glycerin water are decanted before cooking itself. The paste obtained, firmer is washed with salt water, it is the "relarguage" allowing the neutralization of the paste.
Two successives washing with clear water are necessary to eliminate the surplus of salt.
the following operation is the "liquidation", water is added to the soap to make is it pecfectly fluid.
At this point, the soap Master controls the perfect neutrality of the paste.

Whole peanuts are very important human food. Peanuts are very high in proteins (25 grams per 100gram serving) of good quality. They are a very good source of energy , with 50 grams of fats and 16 grams of carbohydrates per 100gram serving.
