Ingredient Benefits

Calendula-Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Calendula is traditionally valued for its calming properties. Infused into EVOO, it contributes soothing support while olive oil provides mild cleansing and conditioning through its high oleic acid content.

Coconut Oil

Adds cleansing power and fluffy bubbles, ensuring the bar effectively removes impurities.

Lard

A time-honored soapmaking fat known for creating a hard bar with stable, creamy lather and excellent skin feel.

Avocado Oil

Rich in vitamins and fatty acids, avocado oil enhances conditioning and contributes to a silky after-feel.

Castor Oil

Improves lather density and creaminess while helping maintain moisture balance.

Carrot Seed Oil

Often included for its antioxidant-rich profile, carrot seed oil complements the botanical theme and contributes to overall skin nourishment.

Sodium Hydroxide

Required for saponification. Fully transformed during curing, none remains in the finished bar.
