Activated Charcoal
Made from coconut shell, not coal

Steam-activated so its surface becomes porous enough to lift oil and city grime from skin. We use it in the bars meant for the end of a hot day — it is decisive without being harsh, and it turns the bar a proper deep black.
How we use it
Its part in the formulations
Not a list written for this page. Each of these is the role recorded against activated charcoal in one of our own recipes — so it cannot drift from what is actually in the bar.
- Natural colour, a trace
- Draws out impurities
On the label it reads Carbo Activatus.

What it works with
The ones it keeps company with
Made with care
How it is made matters as much as what is in it
- Batches of sixty
- Small enough that one person watches the whole pour. Nothing is made a pallet at a time, which is why a colour shifts a little between batches — and why we would rather it did.
- Made by hand
- Melted, blended, poured, cut and wrapped by hand. The cutting marks are real, and no two bars weigh the same to the gram.
- Never tested on animals
- Not by us, and not by anyone we buy from. There is no version of a bar of soap that needs an animal to prove it is safe.
- Vegan, where it can be
- Most of the range is. The honey soap and the beeswax candles are not, and they are named as such on their own pages rather than hidden behind an asterisk.
Every ingredient, and why
The whole library — what each material does, where the ones worth naming come from, and the list of what we refuse to use.
