Portuguese to English Science Cosmetics, Beauty Cleaning products
"...produtos ecoeficientes, formulados com matérias-primas de origem vegetal (derivados do babaçu, palma, mamona, saponificados e com enzimas naturais)"

The text is referring to cleaning products. Not sure how to translate 'saponificados' to English. I know that it's something which lends itself to soap, but maybe someone can help me with a good way of fitting it in this phrase. Thanks!
