Our Ingredient Philosophy
Key thinking approach
Natural & Ethically Sourced
We prioritize ingredients that are plant-based, effective, and sourced with respect for the environment, the communities that cultivate and factories that manufactured them.
Formulated for Skin Health
Every ingredient is chosen for a purpose—to cleanse without stripping, to moisturize deeply, and to soothe gently. We formulate for all skin types.
Unwavering Transparency
We believe you have the right to know exactly what you are putting on your skin. We are proud of the ingredients we use and are committed to listing them clearly and honestly.

Purity in Practice: What We Leave Out
We believe what is left out of a product is just as important as what is put in. True skincare is an act of nourishment, not just cleansing. That is why we exclude any ingredient that could compromise the health of your skin.
- Palm Oil: We are proudly palm oil-free. By using nourishing alternatives like Olive and Coconut oil, we take a firm stand against the deforestation and habitat destruction associated with mainstream palm oil cultivation.
- Synthetic Fragrances or Dyes: We believe in scenting and coloring our soaps with nature itself. You will only find pure essential oils, natural clays, and botanicals in our products, never synthetic fragrances or artificial dyes.
- Parabens or Phthalates: Our formulas are unequivocally free from parabens and phthalates. We rely on the natural integrity of our ingredients to create safe, effective products, ensuring they are gentle for your body's delicate balance.
- Sulphates (SLS/SLES): We reject harsh detergents like Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulphate (SLES). The rich, creamy lather in our soaps is created naturally through the saponification of nourishing oils like Coconut Oil.
- Harsh Chemical Preservatives: Our solid soap bars are naturally self-preserving due to their alkaline nature. This method eliminates the need for harsh, synthetic chemical preservatives, ensuring each bar is as pure and wholesome as possible.
