Kefir & Oatmeal
Botanical Soap Bar — Handmade toilet soap bar, vegetable oil based · approx. 110 g · soothing, gently comforting
Who it suits
Skin that is easily irritated, and anyone who dislikes fragrance. It contains kefir and sweet almond oil, so it is neither vegan nor suitable if you avoid tree nuts. Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the plain bar with neither. If you want the same quietness with a little lavender, Yoghurt & Lavender.
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 oats are pressed into the top by hand while the soap is still soft.
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 band is activated charcoal, the mildness is kefir, and the oatmeal gives it the faintest texture, just enough to feel like it is doing something without scratching.
There is no added scent at all.
It is the bar to use when your skin has had enough of everything else.
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.
Do the oats on top fall off?Some of them will, in the first few washes. That is normal and does not change how the bar works.
Is it scratchy?No. The oatmeal is worked into the bar, so what you feel is texture rather than grit. It is not a scrub.
