Natural soap compared to liquid soap

The most widely used form of soap is liquid soap. However, this does not have much in common with soap in the true sense of the word. Liquid soaps are predominantly a mixture of water and mostly synthetically produced surfactants, as well as fragrances and preservatives. Surfactants are often difficult to biodegrade. And most liquid soaps also come in a "practical" plastic bottle that is not good for the environment.

Natural soaps are produced according to the principles of natural cosmetics. In contrast to most liquid soaps or conventional soaps, they are primarily made from natural oils and fats. Popular oils and fats are often olive oil, coconut oil, castor oil, shea butter or grapeseed oil. Natural soaps are a great alternative to conventional soaps as they are much gentler on the skin. They contain no chemical additives or preservatives, but are pure soaps made in a natural way.
Natural soaps are free from sulphates, synthetics, parabens and phthalates. These ingredients are often used in conventional soaps, but can cause skin rashes, irritation and dryness.
Doctors often recommend natural soaps for patients with sensitive skin, eczema or psoriasis.

The skin is our largest organ and our first line of defense against disease. So you could say it's important to take good care of it! Good skin care starts with choosing the right soap. Natural soaps are the best choice for your skin as they are gentler and contain more nutrients.

Natural soaps are made from vegetable oils such as coconut oil, olive oil or shea butter. These oils are rich in nutrients and vitamins that help your skin stay healthy and hydrated.

TURKISH SPICES - TURKISH CUISINE

 

Turkish spices in the kitchen

Constantinople, today's Istanbul, is considered the gateway to the Orient and was a melting pot for people from all over the world. They brought their culinary specialties with them, which form the framework for today's Turkish cuisine. The mixture of the cooking traditions of the Turkic peoples with Indian, Persian and Islamic Arabic cuisine, as well as influences from the Mediterranean region, have shaped and formed Turkish cuisine. Turkish cuisine is fresh, varied and often surprising in taste, as it mixes savory and sweet components and is very spicy.

Turkish cuisine uses countless types of vegetables: Red, green and yellow peppers, tomatoes, long thin or broad beans, broad beans, red beans, cucumbers, cabbage, lettuce, leeks and onions, garlic and eggplants. Parsley, mint, lemons, rocket and vine leaves join the whole variety of vegetables. Olive trees provide fruity oil, which is used in abundance. As in all countries influenced by Islam, pork is taboo as it is considered unclean. Lamb, beef, goat, poultry and fish are preferred sources of protein and are processed into countless delicious dishes. Sheep and goats provide the milk for delicious cheese and yogurt, soured milk and ayran.

Turkish cuisine uses a wide variety of spices: Chili peppers, ground chili, cumin, black cumin, allspice, cinnamon, thyme, dill, fenugreek, garlic, parsley, mint, sesame seeds, pul biber (coarse hot paprika), which in different combinations provide the richness of aromas and variety of flavors in Turkish cuisine. Bulgur, couscous, rice and sometimes potatoes are basic ingredients of Turkish cuisine and are refined with many spices. Meze are cold or warm starters that play an important role in Turkish menus and are available in many variations: Stuffed vine leaves, humus - a paste made from chickpeas and tahini (sesame paste), yogurt with cucumber, mint, pepper, olive oil and lemon juice, to name but a few. They are usually served with bread. Turkish cuisine offers a variety of breads, often baked in a stone oven and often sprinkled with black cumin or sesame seeds.

Lamb is often grilled or used as mince for a variety of main dishes, including variously prepared vegetables. Sophisticated combinations can be found in rice dishes such as pilaf, a dish in which liver, onions, pine nuts and raisins are cooked together and seasoned with dill, cinnamon and allspice.

Buy and use Turkish spices

Turkish cuisine generally uses many different spices, all of which represent the richness of taste and aroma of this cuisine and constantly surprise us with new taste sensations. You can buy a selection of high-quality Turkish spices in our online store to try your hand at cooking Turkish dishes or to experiment with them. You will receive a free recipe card with every spice mix you buy in our online store. We have also prepared recipes for Turkish spice blends for you.

 

 

Soy scented candles

 

Making candles: Press, pour, steep

Candles can be produced using three different methods. Industrially produced, straight candles are mainly pressed. Powdered kerosene is filled into a sleeve and pressed together from both sides under high pressure. Alternatively, candles can also be molded. Liquid wax is poured into rubber molds and solidifies in them. Pure stearin candles are only produced using the casting process.

Simple, elongated candles in particular can also be made using the drawing method: This involves repeatedly dipping the wick into liquid wax, which cools layer by layer.

How to burn candles safely

As beautiful as their light is - wherever candles are burning, you should always take a few precautions due to the risk of fire:

• Always place candles upright and never burn them unattended
• Use a heat-resistant, non-flammable saucer
• Keep the so-called burning bowl, i.e. the base, clean
• Protect candles from draughts
• Keep a sufficient distance from flammable objects such as curtains
• A distance of at least ten centimetres is also recommended between individual candles

• Why do I believe that soy wax candles are better than kerosene candles?

   

  1. They burn more cleanly

  Unlike petrolium-based kerosene candles, soy wax candles do not contain any harmful substances, carcinogens or environmentally hazardous substances. This also makes it far less likely that allergies will be triggered by soy wax candles.

  2. Better fragrance

  The fragrance of essential oils, such as those used in Ayra candles, develops very gently. This is because soy wax candles burn more slowly and therefore also release the fragrance more slowly. This means that there is no risk of the fragrance overwhelming and overpowering you. The natural wax also retains its color better than other candles, keeping them looking beautiful and attractive for longer.

  3. Better for the home

  Unlike kerosene candles, soy wax candles don't leave behind black soot - soy wax simply burns cleaner than petroleum-based kerosene candles. The soot produced when burning kerosene candles can potentially leave dark stains in your home. Plant-based soy wax does not release such products in the first place and therefore cannot damage your beautiful furnishings.

  4. Longer burn time

  Soy wax burns cooler. In reality, this means that you can enjoy your soy wax candle for longer and use it for significantly longer. Our Ayra candles have an approximate burn time of 45 hours, which is about 30% longer than a kerosene candle of the same size.

  5. Natural ingredients

  Natural wax is naturally made from natural ingredients, making them biodegradable and easier to clean. Kerosene candles are made from petroleum, a non-renewable resource that contains carcinogens and other harmful substances - practically the same kind of harmful substances that come out of the tailpipe of our car. We say: soy, again and again!

  If you've always wanted to try candles made from soy wax, I highly recommend our candles from Ayra warmly. Not only are they good for you, they also look very elegant. I think it's the best kind of everyday luxury.
