What goes into every bar
We use a clean glycerin, goat milk or shea butter base and add ingredients we know and trust. Here is what and why.
Every bar is made to order in small batches on our farm in South Goa, with no SLS, no parabens and no synthetic fragrance. Some ingredients, like neem, tulsi and lemongrass, are grown on the farm itself. Others, like shea butter and the soap bases, are sourced, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise.
Coconut Oil
Creates a rich, cleansing lather and helps the bar stay firm. One of the most common base oils in handmade soap, known for its clean rinse.
Glycerin
A natural byproduct of the soap-making process. Most commercial makers extract it and sell it separately; we keep it in the bar, which gives it a moisturising feel and a light, clean rinse.

A rich, nourishing oil pressed from the shea tree nut. Gives the bar a creamy feel and leaves the skin feeling soft after washing. Does not fully saponify, so some deposits on the skin during use.

Read more →Tulsi
Holy basil, grown on our farm in South Goa. A familiar ingredient in Indian home remedies and traditional personal care. Has a fresh, slightly herbal fragrance.
