Triple Milled Soap. You’ve likely heard the term when describing the finest, most luxurious soaps on the market, and for that you’ve built a strong association to high end quality, premium products. And it’s no surprise when you look into the craftsmanship involved in what appears to be a simple bar soap. 

Tripe milled soap, or French milled soap is a type of high quality soap that has been passed through stainless steel rollers three times during production. This milling process blends the soap thoroughly and removes excess water and air, resulting in a denser, smoother, longer-lasting bar.

Because the soap becomes denser, containing less water through the process, it doesn't dissolve as quickly as regular soap, making it longer lasting. This process also allows an even blend of fragrance which allows for better distribution of longer lasting fragrance. 

Better yet, it feels smoother on the skin, producing a rich, luxurious lather and even texture. As the triple milling ensures there are no air pockets making the bar consistently smooth throughout. 

But the benefits don’t stop there, triple milled soaps are famed for their benefits for sensitive skin. Quality triple milled soaps usually contain fewer harsh chemicals and more natural ingredients, which makes them ideal for sensitive, dry, or easily irritated skin. While the refining process removes impurities and harsh detergents often found in cheaper soaps.Triple milled soaps often include moisturising oils (like olive, coconut, or shea butter) that nourish and seal in hydration without stripping your skin - perfect for dry skin. (Hint hint: Elliqua Body Bars that contain olive oil, coconut, shea butter and more). Key high quality ingredients boost the benefits of these bars to even help balance skin’s pH, maintain hydration, and support the skin barrier over time.

Triple Milled vs Glycerin Soap 

Typically translucent, and made with a high concentration of glycerin, a natural humectant that attracts moisture, glycerin soap is shorter-lasting, dissolving quicker, often containing alcohol, sulfates and synthetic fragrance. 

Triple Milled vs Liquid Body Wash

Liquid Body Wash is often marketed for convenience and comes in a variety of scents and formulas. But when you look closer, the differences in quality and skin benefits become clearer. They typically contain water as the first ingredient, meaning you get more dilution and less concentrated skincare. To create lather and shelf stability, many commercial body washes rely on synthetic surfactants like sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), artificial fragrances, and preservatives - all of which can be drying or irritating, especially for sensitive skin.
