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 mainly 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 "practical" plastic bottles that are not environmentally friendly.

Natural soaps are produced according to the principles of natural cosmetics. Unlike most liquid soaps or conventional soaps, they are primarily made from natural oils and fats. Popular oils and fats often include olive oil, coconut oil, castor oil, shea butter, and grape seed oil. Natural soaps are a great alternative to conventional soaps because they are much gentler on the skin. They contain no chemical additives or preservatives, but are pure soaps that are produced naturally.
Natural soaps are free from sulfates, synthetics, parabens, and phthalates. These ingredients are often used in conventional soaps but can cause rashes, irritation, and dryness.
Dermatologists 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 that 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 because 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, now known as Istanbul, is considered the gateway to the Orient and was a melting pot for people from all over the world. They brought with them their culinary specialties, which form the basis of today's Turkish cuisine. The blending of the culinary traditions of the Turkic peoples with Indian, Persian, Islamic Arab cuisine, and influences from the Mediterranean region have shaped and formed Turkish cuisine. Turkish cuisine is fresh, varied, often surprising in taste, as it also mixes savory with 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, onions, garlic, and eggplant. Parsley, mint, lemons, arugula, and grape leaves complement the wide variety of vegetables. Olive trees provide fruity oil, which is used very liberally. As in all countries influenced by Islam, pork is taboo and considered unclean. Lamb, beef, goat, poultry, and fish are the preferred sources of protein and are used in countless delicious dishes. Sheep and goats provide milk for delicious cheese and yogurt, thick milk, and ayran.

A wide variety of spices are used in Turkish cuisine: chili peppers, ground chili, cumin, black cumin, allspice, cinnamon, thyme, dill, fenugreek, garlic, parsley, mint, sesame, pul biber (coarse hot paprika), which are combined in various ways to create the rich aromas and diverse flavors of Turkish cuisine. Bulgur, couscous, rice, and sometimes potatoes are basic ingredients in Turkish cuisine and are refined with many spices. Meze are cold or warm appetizers that play an important role in Turkish menus and come in many varieties: stuffed grape leaves, hummus – 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 still baked in a stone oven and frequently sprinkled with black cumin or sesame seeds.

Lamb is often grilled or used as minced meat for a wide variety of main courses, accompanied by vegetables prepared in different ways. Sophisticated combinations can be found in rice dishes such as pilaf, a dish in which liver, onions, pine nuts, and sultanas are cooked together, seasoned with dill, cinnamon, and allspice.

Buying and using Turkish spices

Turkish cuisine generally uses many different spices, all of which contribute to the rich flavors and aromas of this cuisine and surprise us with ever-new taste experiences. You can buy a selection of high-quality Turkish spices in our online shop to try your hand at cooking Turkish dishes or experimenting with them. You will receive a free recipe card with every spice mix purchased in our online shop. We have also prepared recipes for Turkish spice mixes.

 

 

Soy scented candles

 

Making candles: pressing, pouring, pulling

Candles can be made using three different methods. Industrially manufactured, straight candles are mainly pressed. To do this, powdered paraffin is filled into a sleeve and pressed together from both sides under high pressure. Alternatively, candles can also be poured. Liquid wax is poured into rubber molds and solidifies inside them. Pure stearin candles are only made using the casting method.

Simple, elongated candles in particular can also be manufactured using the pulling method: the wick is repeatedly dipped into liquid wax, which cools layer by layer.

How to burn candles safely

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

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

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

   

  1. They burn more cleanly

  Unlike petroleum-based paraffin candles, soy wax candles do not contain any harmful substances, carcinogens, or environmentally hazardous substances. This also makes it much less likely that soy wax candles will trigger allergies.

  2. Better scent

  The scent of essential oils, such as those used in Ayra candles, unfolds very gently. This is because soy wax candles burn more slowly and therefore release their scent more slowly. This means there is no risk of the scent overwhelming 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 paraffin candles, soy wax candles do not leave black soot behind—soy wax simply burns cleaner than petroleum-based paraffin candles. The soot produced when paraffin candles burn can potentially leave dark stains in your home. Vegetable-based soy wax does not release such products in the first place and therefore cannot damage your beautiful furnishings.

  4. Longer burning time

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

  5. Natural ingredients

  Natural wax is made from natural ingredients, which makes it biodegradable and easier to clean. Paraffin candles are made from petroleum, a non-renewable raw material that contains carcinogens and other harmful substances—practically the same kind of harmful substances that come out of our car exhaust. We say: Soy, always a pleasure!

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