Details
A traditional, true saponified bathing bar for normal to oily skin, blemish-prone skin, and humid climates that delivers an invigorating, deep-degreasing cleanse without animal tallow, palm oil soap noodles, or synthetic green dyes.
- True Saponified Soap Cleansing: Real soap is the salt of a vegetable fatty acid created through traditional alkali saponification. Operating at alkaline pH 9.60, it dissolves oxidized cutaneous sebum, stubborn dirt, and sweat far more effectively than mild syndet washes.
- 100% Palm-Oil-Free Plant Base: Standard commercial neem soaps are pressed from cheap Malaysian palm oil noodles (Sodium Palmate). Our bar is saponified exclusively from Indian Virgin Coconut Oil (41.50%), Refined Rice Bran Oil (30.00%), and Virgin Castor Oil (9.00%), yielding an ultra-dense, creamy lather and a Total Fatty Matter (TFM) of 76.58% (surpassing the 76.0% statutory minimum for Grade 1 Toilet Soaps).
- Radical Botanical Neem Loading (5.0% Total Neem): Dosed with 3.0% cold-pressed unrefined Neem Seed Oil (retained as an unreacted superfat lipid delivering bioactive azadirachtin limonoids) plus 2.0% concentrated Neem Leaf Extract rich in nimbolide polyphenols. We never use cosmetic token amounts or place neem after perfume.
- Pore-Clarifying Slip (Zero Talc): Contains 1.5% pharmaceutical-grade USP micronized Kaolin Clay (<45 µm). Gently adsorbs surface sebum, cushions razor slip, and reinforces bar density without chalky residue or industrial talc fillers.
- Caustic-Free Comfort (<0.02% Free Alkali): Precisely neutralized with Citric Acid to ensure free caustic alkali remains strictly below 0.02% as NaOH (more than twice as strict as the 0.05% ceiling of IS 2888), completely eliminating caustic stinging.
- Zero Synthetic Perfume or Dyes: The earthy, bitter medicinal aroma and natural olive-tan hue come 100% from genuine neem botanicals and mineral clay. Zero masking perfumes, zero synthetic coal-tar dyes (CI 74260, CI 61565).
- Skin Selection Guide: If your skin is dry, mature, eczema-prone, or chapped by cold weather, choose our Shea and Oat Bathing Bar instead (a soap-free syndet bar at skin-physiological pH 5.5).
- Zero-Plastic Packaging: Wrapped in 55 gsm FSC greaseproof unbleached virgin kraft paper inside a 350 gsm white-top kraft folding carton. Zero plastic film or shrink-wrap.

- Full list
- Sodium Cocoate (41.50%), Sodium Rice Branate (30.00%), Sodium Castorate (9.00%), Aqua (8.00%), Glycerin (4.00%), Melia Azadirachta Seed Oil (3.00%), Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract (2.00%), Kaolin (1.50%), Sodium Chloride (0.50%), Tocopherol (0.30%), Citric Acid (0.10%), Sodium Phytate (0.10%)
- Sodium Cocoate (Saponified virgin coconut oil)
- 41.50% w/w. Pure cold-process saponified Virgin Coconut Oil. High lauric acid (C12:0); delivers rapid cold-water solubility, explosive flash foam, and bar hardness.
- Sodium Rice Branate (Saponified rice bran oil)
- 30.00% w/w. Saponified Indian Refined Rice Bran Oil. Rich in oleic and linoleic fatty acids plus gamma-oryzanol; softens lather cushion and prevents bar cracking.
- Sodium Castorate (Saponified castor oil)
- 9.00% w/w. Saponified Indian First Special Grade Virgin Castor Oil. Ricinoleic acid salt; acts as a natural bubble stabilizer and micro-foam dense lather booster.
- Aqua (Purified water)
- 8.00% w/w. Purified Water IP; conductivity < 1.3 µS/cm. Holds the optimal 7.5%–8.5% cured moisture equilibrium.
- Glycerin (Vegetable humectant)
- 4.00% w/w. Natural in-situ retained vegetable glycerin from oil saponification. Humectant plasticizer that prevents bar brittle-shattering.
- Melia Azadirachta Seed Oil (Cold-pressed neem oil)
- 3.00% w/w. Pure unrefined cold-pressed Neem Seed Oil added post-saponification as an unreacted superfat lipid; high in bioactive azadirachtin limonoids (>1,500 ppm).
- Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract (Neem leaf extract)
- 2.00% w/w. Concentrated 4:1 aqueous-glycolic extract of mature neem leaves. Supplies water-soluble nimbolide polyphenols and soothing flavonoids.
- Kaolin (USP micronized white clay)
- 1.50% w/w. Pharmaceutical USP cosmetic white clay (<45 µm / 325-mesh pass). Adsorbs excess cutaneous sebum and provides silky lather cushion (100% talc-free).
- The 1 percent line
- Falls after Kaolin. Exactly 12 ingredients summing to 100.00%
- Sodium Chloride (Pure vacuum salt)
- 0.50% w/w. Pure evaporated vacuum salt USP/IP; enhances crystal structure cohesion and bar durability.
- Tocopherol (Natural Vitamin E)
- 0.30% w/w. Non-GMO natural mixed tocopherols (min 70% active); lipid antioxidant that shields unreacted neem fatty acids from rancidity.
- Citric Acid (Citrus fruit acid)
- 0.10% w/w. Pure anhydrous crystals; neutralizes trace unreacted lye to drive free caustic alkali strictly below 0.02% as NaOH.
- Sodium Phytate (Rice bran extract)
- 0.10% w/w. Plant-derived phytic acid chelator; sequesters hard-water divalent minerals (Ca2+, Mg2+) to prevent soap scum and rancidity.
What is left out, and what took its place
- Palm oil soap noodles (Sodium Palmate)
- Replaced entirely by 100% Indian Virgin Coconut, Refined Rice Bran, and Virgin Castor oils. Zero palm plantations, zero deforestation.
- Animal tallow and lard

- Synthetic BHT and EDTA
- Replaced by Natural Mixed Tocopherols (0.30%) and plant-derived Sodium Phytate (0.10%) to prevent lipid rancidity and metal scum.
- Industrial talc filler
- Replaced by 1.50% pharmaceutical-grade USP micronized Kaolin Clay. Zero talc, zero asbestos risk.
- Plastic packaging and shrink film
- Replaced by 55 gsm FSC unbleached greaseproof kraft paper wrap and 350 gsm white-top kraft folding carton.
Use, pack and shelf life
- Skin type
- Normal to oily, athletic, blemish-prone skin, and humid tropical climates. Excellent for deep degreasing of body sweat and excess sebum.
