Lavande
A quiet lavender bar, swirled in soft violet.
Cold-process bar scented with pure lavender essential oil and finished with ground lavender flowers. The violet swirl comes from mica, the soft white from a touch of clay. Olive oil leads the recipe, with shea butter and castor for a dense, slow-melting lather.

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. It is a softer bar by composition, so keep it out of the direct stream and let it dry well between uses.

-
Lavender essential oil
True lavender essential oil, not a fragrance oil — herbal and a little green rather than sweet.
- Texture

Softest bar in the range
A soft bar with a generous, bubbly lather.
- The base
-
An olive oil base
Olive oil leads the recipe, with shea butter and a generous share of castor — castor is what pushes the lather up. Ground lavender flowers are stirred through.
