Clean Slate Hot Process Soap

Do it clean! Activated charcoal & a blend of tea tree, clary sage, peppermint, lime & lavender essential oils

Prone to oily skin & breakouts? Tired of stripping your skin red & raw with harsh cleansers? Another in a series of spur-of-the-moment batches, Clean Slate is stuffed full of ingredients that will make your face happy! My nourishing, coconut-free formula gets all mixed up with activated charcoal & a green, herby blend of essential oils to gently but thoroughly clean even the oiliest of skin. A drizzle of hydrating agave nectar & jojoba oil ensure that you aren't left feeling like you got scraped with a wire brush. I formulated Clean Slate mainly as a facial bar, but it's mild enough to use on your whole body.

This listing is for one (1) chunky 3.75-ounce bar of hot process soap, made from scratch by me in my own workshop. If you find glycerin soaps a bit too drying, this is the bar for you. I've spent several months developing a coconut- & shea-free, vegan formula that lathers beautifully & is packed with nourishing vegetable oils & butters. I make my hot process soap in small batches, & allow each batch to cure for 3 weeks to ensure a firm, mild bar. Each hand-cut bar measures 3x3x1 inches, & weighs approximately 3.75 ounces. As always, your soap will arrive hand-wrapped, with all ingredients clearly labeled for your peace of mind:

Water, Olive Oil, Organic & Sustainable Palm Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Mango Seed Butter, Castor Oil, Organic Palm Kernel Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Avocado Oil, Sodium Lactate, Jojoba Oil, Agave Nectar, Activated Charcoal, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Oil, Salvia sclarea (Clary Sage) Oil, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint), Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil

Since I work in small batches, you may notice slight variations in color from bar to bar. Hot process soap has a marbled, natural appearance. Streaks, swirls & blobs are all part of the charm, & in no way affect the quality of your soap. What the heck is hot process soap, anyway?
