A Little About Soap
Why Can Handmade Soap Look Slightly Different?
The colour, texture and surface of handmade soap may vary slightly with production and storage conditions. As a bar dries, a fine white film may occasionally appear on the surface. This is often referred to as “soap ash” and is generally a harmless surface phenomenon that does not usually affect normal use. Rinse the surface with water before first use if desired.
What Is Saponification?
Saponification is the process in which oils or fats react with an alkali to form soap. In this formula, Sodium Cocoate, Sodium Shea Butterate and Sodium Castorate are soap ingredients derived respectively from coconut oil, shea butter and castor oil through saponification.
Natural Origin Does Not Mean Suitable for Everyone
Botanical essential oils and naturally derived ingredients may still cause irritation in some individuals. If your skin is sensitive, test the product on a small area first and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Application Tips
How to Use
Step 1 | Build a Lather
Wet the cleansing bar and add water. Rub gently between your palms to create a lather.
Step 2 | Cleanse Gently
Massage the lather over damp facial or body skin, avoiding the eye area. There is no need to scrub or apply excessive pressure.
Step 3 | Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse well with clean water to remove the lather and impurities.
Step 4 | Keep Your Bar Dry
After use, place the soap on a well-draining soap dish and allow it to air-dry naturally. This helps the bar stay firm and last longer.
AURA Beauty Tips
For the Face: Build a lather in your hands first and cleanse with gentle movements, avoiding harsh friction.
For the Back and Body: Use on the back, shoulders and other areas prone to sweat and surface oil.
For Underarms and Feet: Use for everyday cleansing to wash away sweat and dirt and leave skin feeling fresh. This is a cleanser, not an antiperspirant.
For Easy Storage: Keep the bar on a draining soap dish between uses so it can dry properly and last longer.
Discontinue use if persistent irritation, dryness or discomfort occurs. Avoid contact with the eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
Expert-Inspired Tips
Tip 1 | Freshen Up Sweat-Prone Areas
For underarms and feet, regular cleansing helps wash away sweat, dirt and surface buildup that can contribute to unwanted body odour. Tea tree essential oil is known for its antibacterial properties, while activated charcoal is valued for its adsorptive properties. Together, they make this bar a refreshing option for everyday cleansing of sweat-prone areas.
This soap cleanses the skin; it is not an antiperspirant or a guaranteed long-lasting deodorant.
Tip 2 | Cleansing for an Oily Scalp
An oily-feeling scalp and buildup from sweat or styling products can leave hair and scalp feeling less fresh. This bar may be considered for occasional cleansing where suitable, but soap-based formulas are not designed for every scalp or hair type. Because soap is generally alkaline, it may leave some hair feeling dry, rough or tangled. Avoid contact with the eyes and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Tip 3 | Cut into Smaller Pieces for Convenient Use
For convenience, cut the bar into smaller pieces before use. Keep one piece by the facial cleansing area and another in the shower, storing the remaining pieces in a dry place. This makes the bar easier to handle and helps keep unused portions dry.
Tip 4 | A Simple Cleansing Routine for Teen Skin
During adolescence, changes in oil production can make skin feel greasier and blemishes more noticeable. This cleansing bar can be incorporated into a routine for oily, blemish-prone skin, provided it feels comfortable on the skin. Introduce it gradually, avoid over-cleansing and follow with a suitable moisturiser. No cleanser can guarantee the prevention of hormonally influenced acne.
Storage Guidelines
After each use, place the soap on a soap dish or breathable soap holder with good drainage.
Allowing the bar to dry between uses helps maintain its firmness and reduces the likelihood of it becoming soft or dissolving too quickly. Store unused portions in a cool, dry place away from standing water.
Proper storage helps your cleansing bar last longer while keeping it ready for your next cleansing ritual.
