Experience a powerful yet gentle cleanse with our Activated Charcoal Exfoliating Soap, handcrafted in Hertfordshire, UK. This natural, cold-process bar is designed as a true all-in-one cleanser for face, body and hair, offering a detoxifying and refreshing wash.
The synergistic blend of sweet orange and patchouli essential oils creates a warm, earthy-citrus aroma that supports clearer-feeling skin while uplifting the senses. Sweet orange brightens and energises, while patchouli brings grounding depth and natural purifying benefits.
Each bar is enriched with nourishing cocoa, coconut and shea butters, producing a creamy, bubbly lather that cleanses effectively while helping to keep the skin soft, comfortable and cared for.
To enhance purification and exfoliation, we’ve added kaolin clay and activated charcoal — a powerful duo known for absorbing impurities, refining pores and supporting clearer, smoother skin. This charcoal soap bar is ideal for those who enjoy a deep-clean, spa-like ritual at home.
All our bars are made in small batches in the UK using sustainably sourced, ethical and biodegradable ingredients.

Purify & Detoxify
Activated charcoal and kaolin clay work together to lift impurities, absorb excess oil and refine pores — ideal for blemish-prone or congested skin.
Strengthen & Rejuvenate
Sweet orange and patchouli provide antioxidant protection while supporting smoother, brighter-looking skin.
Balance & Clarify
Kaolin clay helps regulate oil levels without stripping, leaving the skin feeling fresh, clean and comfortable.
Nourish & Soften
Shea, coconut and cocoa butters help maintain hydration and skin comfort after cleansing.
All-in-One Convenience
Formulated for face, body and hair — perfect for minimal routines, travel and gym bags.
Use during a warm shower and inhale deeply — the rising steam enhances the earthy-citrus aroma for a grounding, spa-like experience. For an extra detox moment, lather the bar between your hands, massage in circular motions over congested areas (such as the back, chest or T-zone), and rinse with cool water to finish.
Face & Body:
Lather the bar between wet hands or on a cloth, apply to damp skin, then rinse thoroughly. Ideal for oily, blemish-prone or post-workout cleansing.
Hair:
Wet hair thoroughly, glide the bar directly over the scalp and lengths to create a lather, massage, then rinse well. Follow with your preferred conditioner if needed.
To prolong the life of your natural soap bar, place it on a well-draining soap dish after each use to allow water to drain away. Avoid leaving it in standing water. Alternatively, pat dry with an organic cotton face cloth and hang it in our exfoliating pouch away from direct water.
