THE SOAP

Herbaceous, organic lemongrass and sweet, cold pressed red mandarin swirl with Japanese hinoki cypress, warm, organic black pepper, and organic cedarwood to create an ethereal scent and bathing experience ~ reminiscent of a citron-steeped onsen bath during Japan's cold winters. Antioxidant-rich turmeric root and bright, ground yuzu peel combine to bring gentle exfoliation and energetic warmth ~ breathe deeply 

RITUAL

Lather up + breathe deeply ♡

Our cold process soap is hand-poured and air-cured for 4-6 weeks. This time-honored method means triangles may vary in look. Please allow your soap to fully dry in between uses for a longer life span

Our multi-use, concentrated soaps are made for full body bathing and shaving. A little lather goes a long way. We recommend storing among your clothing or linens before use. Everyone will want to smell you :)

We believe in less plastic and more plants in the bathing space. Please compost or recycle our American hemp paper boxes ✿

We are proud to source the most beautiful olive oil produced by the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation in Capay Valley, CA for all our soaps

DEEP DIVE

California Olive Oil: We are proud to source the most beautiful olive oil produced by the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation in Capay Valley, California. Phenolic compounds are the main antioxidants found in virgin olive oil, contributing to its anti-inflammatory and dermal reconstructive effects. Notably high in vitamin E, olive oil has been found to fight free radicals to protect skin’s collagen production. This contributes to the gently cleansing and deeply conditioning qualities of our lather, while helping to ensure a longer
lasting bar

Organic Shea Butter: Rich in antioxidants and abundant in triterpenes - a group of plant compounds known to increase collagen production, wound healing, and cell renewal - the shea butter in our soap acts as an emollient that softens and protects, especially for eczema-prone skin. This adds a creamy, conditioning effect to our soap

Organic Virgin Coconut Oil: In studies, virgin coconut oil has been found to exhibit antioxidant, anti‑inflammatory, antibacterial, wound healing, and moisturizing properties for those with eczema-prone skin. Virgin coconut oil is rich in medium chain fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and polyphenols making it beneficial as an antioxidant source and beautiful for skin barrier repair. In our soap, we use just the right amount to help create a fluffy, cleansing micro-lather without stripping the skin

Organic Camellia Oil: This multi-purpose, lightweight, silky tea seed oil is known to cool in Chinese medicine. Scientifically, this could be the tannic acid and theobromine helping to remove heat. Just like green tea, camellia oil is high in polyphenols and has been studied for its antioxidant, healing, moisturizing, and photoprotective effects. Camellia oil is easily absorbed by skin, helping to lock in moisture. In our soap, this beautiful oil contributes to a luxe lather while protecting the skin from drying out. Absolute liquid gold!

Organic Castor Oil: A natural humectant that’s rich in fatty acids, castor oil smooths and softens while drawing moisture to the skin. We love it in our soap for supporting healthy skin tissue through its hydrating and cleansing capabilities. It helps create a gently cleansing and deeply nourishing bar with a rich, creamy, micro-lather

Kaolin Clay: All of our batches contain a rich swirl of this deeply cleansing and gently exfoliating mineral

Turmeric Root: Increasingly being studied for its anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and antioxidant properties. When applied topically, turmeric is known to improve the severity of skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis. Many of our customers have reported relief from the rich turmeric content in the Kyoto triangle

Yuzu Peel: Rich in several antioxidants known to reduce inflammation and neutralize free radicals
