Lavender Truffle Hot Process Soap

Dutch-process cocoa, bittersweet chocolate, Hungarian lavender & a touch of vanilla

This delectable scent is a bit of a tribute to my days as a pastry chef & my love of unusual chocolates. The combination is divine - lightly sweet & edible, with a spicy brush of lavender, it's a sophisticated but decadent blend. Don't be surprised if someone's tempted to take a nibble...

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 in cellophane, with all ingredients clearly labeled for your peace of mind:

Water, Olive Oil, Palm Oil, Sodium Hydroxide (saponifying agent), Mango Seed Butter, Castor Oil, Palm Kernel Oil, Avocado Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Sodium Lactate, Fragrance Oil, Cocoa Powder, Sugar, Mica

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.
