Flora · Soap
Cold process bars, cured the slow way.
Each bar is cured for four to six weeks before it leaves the shelf — giving it time to harden, settle and become the soap it was made to be.

The thinking
Why the soap is cured this way.
Cold process soap needs time. The oils, butters and lye are combined and allowed to complete the soap-making process before each bar is cut and left to cure. Over the following weeks, the bars lose excess water, become firmer and develop the qualities that make them ready to use.
Four to six weeks is part of our process. We don't rush the cure simply to get a bar onto the shelf sooner. The result is a firmer bar with a longer-lasting feel in use when cared for properly.
The naturally occurring glycerin stays in the soap. Glycerin is created during the soap-making process and is retained in our cold-process bars, contributing to the way they feel on the skin.
Every bar is cut by hand. Small variations in weight, shape and pattern are part of the character of a handmade bar.

What is different
What four to six weeks buys you
A firmer bar
A proper cure gives the bar time to lose excess water and become firmer. That means a bar that holds its shape well with normal use and care.
Glycerin stays in
Glycerin is naturally created during the soap-making process and remains in our cold-process bars.
A considered ingredient list
Made with a carefully selected blend of oils and butters. No palm oil and no SLS are used in these bars. Colour comes from ingredients such as charcoal and clay.
Packaging with a second life
The soap is wrapped in seed paper and a simple paper band. When you're finished, the wrapper can be planted rather than thrown away.
Care
Make your bar last longer
Let it drain. Keep your soap on a draining dish or wooden rack rather than sitting in water.
Keep it out of the shower spray. Constant running water will soften and dissolve the bar faster.
Let it dry between uses. If you have more than one bar, alternating them gives each one time to dry.
Store spare bars somewhere dry. Keep unused soap away from standing water and excessive humidity.
