Orange Patchouli
"Orange Patchouli" is just what it sounds like, but even better! The orange lightens the patchouli, and notes of oakmoss, violet, and cedarwood offer a lovely balance.
*In the photos you will notice that the single bar on a plain background has somewhat different colors than the multi soap photo. While the ingredients remain the same, our batches vary one to the next, and the single bar photo represents the batch we are currently shipping!
These cold processed soaps are made with saponified olive, organic coconut, sustainable palm, almond, and castor oils; shea butter; goat's milk; kaolin clay; mulberry silk; and sugar, formulated to offer a rich, creamy lather with plentiful bubbles. Each bar weighs at least 4.75 ounces.
The other ingredients, not related to lather, bubble type, and skin feel, are skin safe micas, phthalate free fragrance oils, and sodium lactate (the salt component of lactic acid, used for hardening soap). Sodium hydroxide (lye) is added to oils early in the soap making process. Lye and oils combine in the saponification process, chemically transforming into soap and glycerin, leaving no remaining lye. Our soaps, along with many (most?) cold processed soaps, are "superfatted," which means that we add slightly more oils than are necessary to saponify the lye. This ensures that no lye will remain when saponification is complete, and the remaining oils contribute to producing an emollient bar of soap.
