BIOVALLEY is a manufacturer of cold-processed superfatted (CP) soaps, based in Kairouan, Tunisia — at the heart of the country’s largest olive-growing regions.

We support importers of natural products, soap wholesalers, cosmetic project owners, specialty retailers and European distributors (France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland) with tailored solutions: bulk supply, private label (white label) and handcrafted soap contract manufacturing. From unbranded soap on pallets to finished, fully labeled products under your own brand, BIOVALLEY is your natural skincare contract manufacturing partner in North Africa.
What Is a Cold-Processed Superfatted Soap (CP Soap) ?
The Cold Process : a Low-Temperature Reaction
Cold process saponification is the artisanal soap-making method carried out at under 40 °C, with no industrial heating. Fats (organic vegetable oils and butters) react with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to produce two components : fatty acid salts that cleanse, and native vegetable glycerin that remains entirely within the soap bar — unlike industrial soaps, where it is extracted and resold.
This process also preserves the heat-sensitive active compounds found in organic oils : tocopherols (vitamin E), phytosterols, polyphenols and unsaturated fatty acids. The result is a natural soap for sensitive skin that is noticeably gentler, more nourishing and more respectful of the skin barrier than a hot-processed industrial soap.
CP Soap vs Hot Industrial Saponification : Comparison
| Criterion | CP Soap (BIOVALLEY) | Hot-processed industrial soap |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing temperature | < 40 °C — artisanal process | > 80–180 °C — industrial process |
| Vegetable glycerin | ✅ Naturally retained | ❌ Extracted and resold |
| Organic oil active compounds | ✅ Fully preserved | ⚠️ Degraded by heat |
| Superfat (free oils) | ✅ 5 to 10 % adjustable | Rarely — or artificial |
| Palm oil | ✅ Palm oil free | ⚠️ Often present |
| COSMOS certification | ✅ Compatible (ISO 22716) | ⚠️ Depends on the formulation |
| Result for sensitive skin | Gentle, nourishing, respectful | Variable, potentially irritating |
Superfatting : the Active Care at the Heart of CP Soap
The superfat rate designates the percentage of organic oils intentionally left unsaponified in the formula. These free oils remain in the soap and help to :
- Strengthen the skin’s lipid barrier and natural hydration
- Eliminate the tight, dry feeling after washing
- Deliver the specific active compounds of each oil (vitamins, fatty acids, antioxidants)
- Suit dry, sensitive, mature and atopic skin — without irritation
At BIOVALLEY, the superfat rate is adjustable between 5 % and 12 % according to your specifications. Standard catalog rate : 8 %. Face or baby soap : 10–12 %.
