  • Heart notes: Light herbal-green freshness

  • Overall mood: Bright, cheerful, and purifying

Perfect for morning showers or a refreshing evening cleanse when you want to clear your mind and awaken your spirit.

Why Choose a Bar Soap Over Body Wash?

Bar soaps like ours deliver a richer, more moisturizing cleanse because they’re concentrated with nourishing oils and butters.

  • Higher oil content = softer skin

  • Plastic-free packaging = cleaner planet

  • No preservatives or synthetic detergents

  • Long-lasting & travel-friendly

Our cold-process method preserves natural glycerin — a humectant that attracts moisture to the skin — leaving you feeling smooth, not stripped.

Who It’s For

  • Those who love fresh, citrusy scents

  • Normal to dry skin types needing a gentle, moisturizing cleanse

  • Eco-conscious shoppers looking for zero-waste, natural skincare

  • Perfect for energizing mornings or post-workout refreshment
