Yoghurt & Lavender
Botanical Soap Bar — Handmade toilet soap bar, vegetable oil based · approx. 110 g · calming, gently brightening
Who it suits
Normal skin, and evenings. It contains yoghurt, so it is not vegan, but there are no nut oils in it. If you like the calm without any scent at all, Kefir & Oatmeal; if you want the scent turned up, Jasmine.
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 two layers are poured one after the other, so the line between them falls differently in every bar.
Handmade toilet soap bar, vegetable oil based. Made in Türkiye in small batches, cold-process, with a 5% superfat. Free from SLS.
Ingredients
Olive oil, coconut oil, castor oil, palm oil, lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) oil, lavender hydrosol, yoghurt, cosmetic colourant, aqua.

Weight
Approximately 110 g. Every bar is cut by hand, so weight and pattern vary slightly.
Caution
For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes and rinse with plenty of water if it happens. Patch test on a small area first if your skin is sensitive, and stop using it if irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children.

- Cold-Process
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 yoghurt is what keeps the bar mild, the lavender is what you smell, and the scent is quiet enough to use at night without it following you to bed.
Of the four plain bars this is the one people reach for in the evening.
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.
How strong is the lavender?Light. It is noticeable in the shower and mostly gone by the time you are dry. The scent comes from lavender oil and lavender hydrosol, with no perfume added on top.
Will the purple layer stain anything?No. The colour is worked through the soap rather than sitting on it, and the lather rinses clear.
