A handcrafted cold process soap made with activated charcoal, wild forest honey and kokum butter, scented with cedarwood, sweet orange and ylang ylang essential oils. It cleanses thoroughly yet gently and leaves skin feeling clean and soft.

Deep, dark and beautifully simple, Activated Charcoal Soap is a refreshing everyday cleanse with a soft, rounded fragrance. It pairs the classic cleansing charcoal with a touch of honey for a bar that cleans well without feeling harsh.

Each bar is made by the traditional cold process method, in small batches. Cold pressed castor oil, coconut oil, rice bran oil and sunflower oil are saponified to create a creamy, lasting lather, while kokum butter adds a firm, conditioning quality. Activated charcoal helps cleanse skin and gives the bar its deep black colour, and wild forest honey adds richness and a soft, silky lather. Sea salt helps harden the bar.

The fragrance is a warm, balanced blend of cedarwood, sweet orange and ylang ylang essential oils: woody, citrusy and softly floral, with no synthetic perfume.

Cold process soap retains its natural glycerin, which helps skin feel soft rather than tight or stripped after washing. Every bar is cured for weeks so it’s mild, hard and long-lasting.

It contains no synthetic fragrance, no synthetic colour, no parabens and no milk.

Who it’s for: anyone who likes a thorough, refreshing wash and a handmade soap that is gentle enough for daily use.

How to Use

1. Wet the soap and your skin with water.
2. Lather between your hands or with a washcloth or loofah, and massage gently over your body.
3. Rinse thoroughly with water.
4. Place the soap on a draining soap dish and let it dry between uses to make it last longer.

Tip: Rinse the tub and washcloth after use, since charcoal can leave a grey residue on light surfaces. Honey soaps also soften faster in standing water, so keep this bar well-drained.

What does activated charcoal do in soap?
It helps cleanse the skin and gives the bar its deep black colour.

What does honey do in soap?
Honey adds richness and a soft, silky lather. It also makes the bar soften more easily in standing water, so keep it well-drained.

What is cold process soap?
It’s a traditional method of making soap in which oils react with lye (sodium hydroxide) in a process called saponification, and the soap is then left to cure for several weeks. No lye remains in the finished bar, and natural glycerin is retained.

Will it stain my washcloth or tub?
Charcoal can leave a grey residue on white fabrics and light surfaces, so rinse well after use.

Does it contain synthetic fragrance or colour?
No. The scent comes from essential oils and the colour from activated charcoal.

Is it good for oily skin?
Charcoal and clean-rinsing oils make it a thorough cleanser. It’s still a conditioning bar with honey and kokum butter. Do a patch test first, since it contains essential oils.

Can I use it on my face?
It can be used on face and body.

How do I make the soap last longer?
Keep it on a draining soap dish and let it dry between uses.
