Honey & Almond
Botanical Soap Bar — Handmade toilet soap bar, vegetable oil based · approx. 110 g · nourishing, softly sweet
Who it suits
Normal to dry skin, and anyone who wants a soap that smells of something without smelling perfumed. It contains almond and honey, and should be treated as containing milk, so it is not the right bar if you avoid tree nuts, dairy or animal ingredients. Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the bar with none of them.
How it's made
Cold-process: the soap is made at low temperature and left to cure for weeks rather than pushed through heat and pressing. The formula is calculated with a 5 percent superfat, so a share of the oils stays unsaponified in the finished bar, which is part of why it feels softer than a commercial soap. The honeycomb top is pressed while the soap is still soft, so it sits a little differently on every bar.
Handmade toilet soap bar, vegetable oil based. Made in Türkiye in small batches, cold-process, with a 5% superfat. Free from SLS.

Keep the bar on a draining dish away from the direct spray and let it dry between uses. A cold-process bar left in standing water softens and disappears quickly.

The making
Made slowly, in small batches.
The color
The brown is cocoa, and the smell is honey, almond and cocoa rather than anything added on top.
Honey holds moisture, almond softens, and together they make the friendliest bar in the range, the one most people finish first.
Frequently asked
How long does one bar last?Six to eight weeks of daily use in the shower, if it is kept dry between washes. Left sitting in water it can be gone in under three. A draining dish is the whole difference.
Where does the brown come from?Cocoa, not a colourant. It is part of the smell as well as the colour.
Can I use it on my face?Yes, unless you are sensitive to almond or dairy. If you are, the plainer Extra Virgin Olive Oil bar is the safer place to start.
