Warm and woody, a good match for a bar that looks like it came out of the fireplace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade for whoever landed on the naughty list this year. It looks like the coal in their stocking, and underneath it is a working bar of soap, so the joke is on them. Activated charcoal gives it the dark color, with no dye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold processed in small batches at my shop in Farmington, Michigan, then air dried for one month. Commercial soap is vat dried, which pulls the glycerin out. Air drying keeps it in the bar. Glycerin is a humectant, so it draws moisture toward your skin instead of stripping it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of the winter collection. Seasonal, and it goes away when the season does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoconut Oil, Water, Olive Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Shea Butter, Sodium Hydroxide, Sunflower Oil, Cocoa Butter, Castor Oil, Fragrance, Sodium Lactate, Activated Charcoal, Ashwagandha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bar is from the Handcrafted line, which is scented with fragrance oil instead of essential oils. The base is the same as my All Natural bars. I list the difference plainly so you know what you're buying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade without palm oil, dye, alcohol, parabens, SLS, or phthalates. Halal ingredients.

Store it on a draining dish in a cool spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy every bar you buy matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBridgecard benefits cannot be used to buy soap. I learned that working with families who had no way to get it, so a portion of every Rose Best sale goes toward bars I donate to people experiencing homelessness in Metro Detroit. Over 1,000 bars so far.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuestions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIs it a good stocking stuffer?\u003cbr\u003eThat is what it is for. It is $8 and fits in a stocking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWill the charcoal stain my towels or tub?\u003cbr\u003eThe charcoal is bound into the bar, and the lather rinses off. Rinse the tub after the first few uses if you want to be sure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is cold process soap?\u003cbr\u003eOils and butters are combined with lye, which triggers saponification. The lye is fully consumed in that reaction, so there is none left in the finished bar. I cure each batch for four weeks before it goes on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIs it gentle enough for sensitive skin?\u003cbr\u003eIt is made without parabens, SLS, phthalates, or dye, which covers the most common irritants. It does use fragrance oil, so if fragrance bothers your skin, one of the All Natural bars is a better pick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow long does a bar last?\u003cbr\u003eAbout three weeks if you keep it dry between uses. A bar sitting in a puddle goes much faster.
