Beach at Sunset
A poured landscape - sky, sea and sand, with a glycerin sun.
The most elaborate bar in the range: a whole beach in one bar — sky in white, pink and salmon, sea in three blues, a band of sand textured with ground coffee, and a sun of clear glycerin soap. The layers run through the bar, so the picture is still there as it wears down.
9 bars left
Every bar cures for four weeks, so batches are small and counted.

Notes on the bar
Keep it on a draining dish. A cold-process bar left sitting in water softens and will not last the way it should. The layers run through the whole bar, so the picture keeps changing as you use it.
- Scent

Bali breeze
Warm and tropical, the most holiday-like scent in the range.
- Texture
-
A poured landscape
Sky, sea and sand in eight separate coloured portions, with a glycerin sun set in first and ground coffee giving the sand its grain. The most involved bar Diana makes.

Olive, cocoa butter and lard
Lard makes it firm enough to hold the layers without slumping. Contains lard.
- Origin
-
Cured in Naples, Florida
Cold process, small batch, cured a minimum of four weeks before it leaves the workshop.
How this batch is made
Process
The sun is made separately in glycerin soap and set in place first. The bar is then built in layers: the sand with ground coffee, the sea in three blues, the sky in white, pink and salmon. The layers run through the whole bar.
