Mermaid Shore

Mermaid Shore

$12 USD Cold process Cured 4+ weeks Naples, FL

Sea blues over a sand line of ground coffee, finished with piped surf and a gold mermaid tail.

Contains animal fat This bar contains lard, which is rendered pork fat. We say so in case you avoid pork for religious or personal reasons.

The shoreline read in four parts: turquoise and deep blue for the water, white through the middle, and a band of sand made with finely ground 100% Colombian coffee. A piped crest of soap foam on top, finished with a golden mermaid tail and shells. Scented with lavender essential oil.

The make-up

Notes on the bar

Keep it on a draining dish. The crest and the shells loosen as you use it, which is normal.

Scent

Lavender, from the oil itself

Real lavender essential oil, not a fragrance oil. Clean and herbal rather than sweet, and it runs right through the bar.

Texture

A crest, a tail and shells

The crest on top is piped soap, and the tail and the shells are soap as well. They stand proud of the bar, so they are the first part to go.

The base

Olive, cocoa butter and lard

Lard and cocoa butter make it firm. The decoration adds shea and avocado butters. 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
