About this collection

Why we make clay soap bars.

Different clays give a different wash. Bentonite is the most absorbent clay we use. Kaolin is the mildest and suits drier-feeling skin. French green clay leaves a matte, fresh finish. Calamine is a gentle mineral blend. Pink clay sits in the middle — cleansing without feeling harsh.

Most of our clay bars work on face and body and are made for daily use.

Every bar is cold-processed in small batches and cured 6–8 weeks. Full ingredient lists are on each product page.
