From time to time, soapmaking goes not according to plan. These soaps are perfectly good excellent and safe to use but have visual defects. Basically, they didn’t come out perfect from the moulds! The colours and fragrances are the same. As I don't like to waste anything, I thought to offer them here instead.
Our 100% coconut oil soap bars bind coconut's moisturising benefits to nourish the skin while gently and effectively cleansing.
These slightly scented soap bars create a lovely soft lather that leaves the skin incredibly silky and moisturised. It is handcrafted in small batches with an exclusive formulation based on coconut oil's unique properties, creating a smooth and abundant lather. In fact, to make 100% coconut oil soap more hydrating, we reduce the amount of sodium hydroxide in the recipe by 25%. This ensures that the soap is still hard and fluffy but not drying to the skin. Thanks to their smooth lather, these bars can also be used as shaving soap.
Coconut oil is not really drying, it's just super cleansing. It cleans your skin so well that it strips the oils off your skin, making it feel dry. Coconut oil itself is good for your skin. Having 25% extra oil in the soap mitigates the drying effect, resulting in a really mild bar, gentle and safe even for the most delicate skin.
All our soaps are made using the cold process method, helping to preserve the beautiful properties of our ingredients. All the colours used in our soaps are made from roots, clays and botanicals. We don't use synthetic dyes, pigments, micas or oxides. Natural soap colourants can be infused into the oil or water we use to make our soaps, added directly to the soap before setting or used in the lye solution. To naturally scent our handmade soaps, we use only pure essential oils.
Please note that slight variations in shape, scent, colour, and weight may occur because this product is handmade. Make your soaps last longer by keeping them dry between uses. Please use a soap dish that drains and keeps it away from direct streams of water.

WHAT DOES "COLD-PROCESSED SOAP" MEAN?
Cold-processed soap making is the traditional method used to create natural soap bars. It is made by combining oils and butters with water and sodium hydroxide, which causes a chemical reaction called saponification. Cold-processed soap, in particular, allows the lye to be neutralised without any outside sources of heat, called "curing".
After mixing sodium hydroxide (lye) with water and blending it with fatty oils, the mixture is poured into moulds and takes 24 hours to become soap (saponify). Once removed from the mould, it needs to dry for an additional 24 hours before being cut into individual bars.

I have to admit to finding no imperfections in the soap delivered, it still looked beautiful and smelt absolutely divine!
I got given a “perfect” one in a Xmas gift set this year and loved it so much already, I’m already wanting replacements. The imperfect idea of this is wonderful. And I shall keep buying the imperfect and perfect ones for as long as you make them. Great scrub and also soft and nourishing all over. A real treat
