## Description

The Hand Cut Soap Collection

31 Scents. One Formula. 30+ Years.

Thirty-one scents. **Five to eight ingredients per bar.** One cold-process formula refined over three decades — handmade, hand-cut, and cured on wooden racks for weeks before it reaches your bath.

Most "soap" on shelves isn't soap — it's detergent. Synthetic surfactants engineered to foam cheap, with the natural glycerin stripped out and sold off as a byproduct. That's why commercial bars leave skin tight, itchy, or reactive after a few weeks of daily use.

**We make real soap.** The glycerin stays in. The oils stay natural. Every bar lasts 3–4 weeks of daily use — **roughly $0.25 per wash**, cheaper than the drugstore bar it replaces.

## How to Pick Yours

Face, Body, or Hair

Every bar shares the same cold-process base. Pick by **function first** — what you're washing — then by scent.

For Face

**Activated Charcoal** — deep pore detox for oily or problematic skin.

**Super Shea** — unscented, shea-loaded, built for dry or reactive skin.

**Blue Bar (Problematic Skin)** — formulated specifically for acne-prone skin.

For Hair & Beard

**Cedar Mint** — woodsy with real menthol cooling. Hair, body, and beard.

**Eucalyptus Lime** — citrus wake-up for normal-to-oily scalps.

**Rosemary Peppermint** — tingling cool, traditionally used to support scalp circulation.

**Rosemary Lavender** — unisex herbal-floral, doubles as a shave bar.

**Cherry Aloe Almond** — moisturizing, for normal-to-dry hair.

**Tea Tree Herb & Mint** — for flaky, itchy, or inflamed scalps.

For Body — by Scent Family

**Citrus & Bright.** Eucalyptus Lemon · Fresh Ginger & Lime · Orange Hibiscus · Citrus Cedar Sage · White Tea Ginger.

**Floral & Soft.** Grapefruit Geranium · Lavender Flowers · Sweet Roses · Wildflowers · Chamomile Neroli Aloe.

**Woodsy & Grounded.** Patchouli Lavender · Patchouli Vanilla · Sandalwood Patchouli · Tobacco Flower · Mountain Pine.

**Warm & Gourmand.** Oatmeal Milk & Honey · Vanilla Oatmeal · Vanilla Sandalwood · Lavender Oatmeal Goat Milk · Mango · Monkey Farts.

**Clarifying.** Eucalyptus, Hemp & Tea Tree — shower-steam therapy for cold or sinus days.

## What's in Every Bar

Four Oils, One Formula

Every bar starts from the same four-oil base. Scented variants layer essential oils, fragrance oils, clays, or botanicals on top — but the foundation doesn't change.

Base Ingredients

**Saponified Oils** (Olive Oil, Organic Palm Oil**, Organic Coconut Oil*, Organic Shea Butter*). Hair and beard formulas add **Organic Castor Oil** for thicker lather.

** Fair Trade · Sustainable-Palm Done Right · * Fair Trade

What We Never Use
- **No SLS or SLES** — the synthetic surfactants that strip your skin barrier.
- **No parabens** — preservatives we don't need, because cold-process saponification is self-preserving.
- **No EDTA, phthalates, or DEA** — standard industry additives, left out.
- **No added glycerin** — it's already in the bar, preserved naturally during saponification.
- **No animal testing.** Most bars are vegan — goat-milk variants are clearly labeled.

## Why Cold-Process

The Economics of Real Soap
- **3–4 weeks per bar** — roughly **$0.25 per wash**, cheaper than the commercial bar you're replacing.
- **5–8 ingredients per bar** — compared to 20+ in detergent bars engineered around synthetic foaming agents.
- **30+ years of refinement** — the same cold-process formula, handmade on a family farm.
- **Glycerin stays in the bar** — the natural moisturizer most commercial bars strip out and sell off separately.
- **Cured 4–6 weeks before it ships** — a hard, dense bar that doesn't turn to mush on day three.

## How to Use

Universal Ritual

1

Lather in Hands

Wet hands, rub the bar between palms to build a rich lather. For face or hair: apply the lather, not the bar directly. For body: direct lather is fine.

2

Cleanse Gently

Massage in circles — face avoiding the eye area, scalp from roots to mid-shaft, body top to bottom. The ends of long hair clean themselves on the rinse.

3

Rinse Cool

Finish with cool water — it helps close pores, seal the hair cuticle, and lock in moisture. Especially important for face and hair.

4

Dry Between Uses

Store on a draining soap dish. A dry bar lasts **3–4 weeks of daily use** — roughly $0.25 per wash.
