Batch Notes
A rich, moisturizing bar with a high shea and cocoa butter content. The 8% superfat and lower lye concentration make this exceptionally gentle — great for dry or mature skin. Cedarwood and lavender give a warm, grounding scent profile with just a touch of floral from the ylang ylang. Allow 6 weeks cure for best lather.
