This is my favorite facial cleaning soap. This is a deep cleaning soap with lots of lather but still gentle on skin. I use it with the blue corn scrub which complements it perfectly! One bar lasts forever. Pleasant smell.

​Commonly Asked Questions & Answers

How long do your soaps last?
​Typically our soaps last 6-8 weeks with daily use by one person. Our shampoo bars last 3-4 months for someone with short hair. Be sure to keep the bar elevated out of water to dry out in between uses and make the bar last longer.
​Why don’t you use palm oil in your soaps?
​We choose to use cocoa butter instead.
What is a natural fragrance oil?
​A natural fragrance oil contains naturally derived essential oils and synthetically derived essential oils but never anything harmful or artificial. Natural fragrance oils are phthalate and paraben free.
What if I have certain skin issues?
​Take our SOAP FINDER skin quiz! It will help you find the perfect bar!
What if I am fragrance sensitive?
​We recommend our vitamin papaya bar as it contains very gentle sweet orange essential oil and is safe enough for baby.
How do I use the solid shampoo bar?
​Our solid shampoo bars eliminate plastic bottle waste and are TSA travel friendly. Simply wet the bar and lather in your hair until bubbly. Shampoo your hair as usual and rinse. Follow with conditioner if you need it.
