Details
A dermatological solid cleansing bar for dry, mature, winter-chapped, and reactive skin that a true alkaline soap leaves tight, stinging, or itching.
- Soap-Free Syndet Cleansing: Soap is the salt of a fatty acid and exists only in alkali (pH 9 to 10), which swells and extracts your natural barrier lipids. This bar is built the opposite way: a 100% synthetic detergent bar (syndet) cleansed by mild coconut isethionate buffered to skin-physiological pH 5.50.
- Radical Emollient Replenishment: Contains 8.0% unrefined Grade A shea butter, rich in bioactive triterpenes and stearic/oleic triglycerides that replenish intercellular lipids directly during cleansing.
- Clinical Colloidal Oatmeal (3.0%): Milled to micronized cosmetic grade (<75 µm) and added cold (<55°C) to prevent starch gelatinization, delivering soothing avenanthramides that quench redness and itching.
- 100% Palm-Oil-Free Stearic Chassis: Structured with coconut-derived stearic acid rather than commercial palm-derived stearic, ensuring a solid crystalline bar without environmental compromise.
- Honest Physical Trade-Offs: At pH 5.5 with 8% shea butter, this bar produces a rich, velvety lotion-like micro-lather rather than airy bubbles. High-emollient syndet bars soften faster in standing puddles: always keep on a free-draining soap dish.
- Skin Selection Guide: If your skin is oily, acne-prone, or you prefer a traditional squeaky-clean lather, choose our Neem and Coconut Bathing Bar instead (a true soap at pH 9.6).
- Zero-Plastic Packaging: Wrapped in 55 gsm FSC greaseproof-lined unbleached virgin kraft paper inside a 350 gsm white-top kraft folding carton. Zero plastic film or shrink-wrap.
Product information
Ingredients (INCI), in descending order, with percentages
- Full list
- Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (42.00%), Stearic Acid (22.00%), Butyrospermum Parkii Butter (8.00%), Sodium Stearate (7.00%), Aqua (6.00%), Glycerin (4.00%), Sodium Isethionate (3.50%), Avena Sativa Kernel Flour (3.00%), Cocamidopropyl Betaine (2.50%), Citric Acid (0.80%), Tocopherol (0.50%), Sodium Chloride (0.50%), Sodium Phytate (0.20%)
- Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (Coconut-derived mild cleanser)
- 42.00% w/w (Hostapon SCI-85 prills, delivering 35.70% active isethionate). Mild anionic surfactant that cleanses without protein denaturation.
- Stearic Acid (Coconut-derived structurant)
- 22.00% w/w. Triple-pressed saturated C18 fatty acid (100% palm-oil-free). Forms the solid crystalline lattice that prevents rapid dissolution.
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter (Unrefined shea butter)
- 8.00% w/w. Pure unrefined Grade A shea butter, rich in bioactive unsaponifiables (>6%) and barrier-replenishing oleic and stearic triglycerides.
- Sodium Stearate (Soap salt structurant)
- 7.00% w/w. High-melting fatty acid salt plasticizer that elevates thermal deflection point above 55°C, preventing summer bar slumping.
- Aqua (Purified water)
- 6.00% w/w. Purified Water IP; conductivity < 1.3 µS/cm. Holds the optimal 5%–7% process moisture balance.
- Glycerin (Vegetable humectant)
- 4.00% w/w. Vegetable USP/IP grade, >= 99.5% purity. Softens the crystal matrix and draws moisture to stratum corneum.
- Sodium Isethionate (Extrusion processing aid)
- 3.50% w/w. Crystalline hydrotrope; lowers plodder extrusion backpressure and prevents transverse fissures upon drying.
- Avena Sativa Kernel Flour (Colloidal oatmeal)
- 3.00% w/w. USP cosmetic micronized grade (<75 µm / 200-mesh pass). Anti-pruritic avenanthramides and beta-glucan; pre-slurried cold (<55°C).
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine (Coconut-derived cleanser)
- 2.50% w/w (0.75% active ASM). Amphoteric foam booster; mitigates monomer tightness and enhances micro-foam density.
- The 1 percent line
- Falls after Cocamidopropyl Betaine. Exactly 13 ingredients summing to 100.00%
- Citric Acid (Citrus fruit acid)
- 0.80% w/w (q.s.). Pure anhydrous crystals; titrates 1% aqueous dispersion to skin-physiological pH 5.50 ± 0.30.
- Tocopherol (Natural Vitamin E)
- 0.50% w/w. Natural mixed tocopherols; antioxidant shielding unrefined shea butter from oxidative rancidity.
- Sodium Chloride (Vacuum salt)
- 0.50% w/w. Pure vacuum salt USP/IP; enhances bar hardness and cohesive density.
- Sodium Phytate (Rice bran extract)
- 0.20% w/w. Plant-derived phytic acid chelator; sequesters hard-water minerals (Ca2+, Mg2+) and trace pro-oxidant iron.
What is left out, and what took its place
- Alkaline soap (Tallowate/Palmate)
- Replaced entirely by mild coconut isethionate (SCI) at 42% and amphoteric betaine. True soap sits at pH 9 to 10 and strips skin lipids; this bar stays at pH 5.5.
- Palm oil and palm stearate
- Replaced by 100% coconut-derived stearic acid. Standard commercial syndet bars use palm derivatives; ours is verified palm-free.
- Synthetic fragrances & essential oils
- Zero added perfume, zero masking fragrance, and zero essential oils. Scent is simply the faint, honest aroma of natural unrefined shea butter and milled oat.
- Synthetic EDTA and Etidronate
- Replaced by plant-derived Sodium Phytate (0.20%) and Natural Mixed Tocopherols (0.50%) to prevent lipid rancidity and metal scum.
- Chemical preservatives (Parabens, MIT)
- Preservative-free by construction. Solid matrix water activity (aw <= 0.65) qualifies as microbiologically low-risk under ISO 29621.
- Plastic packaging and shrink film
- Replaced by 55 gsm greaseproof-lined unbleached virgin kraft paper wrap and 350 gsm white-top kraft folding carton.
Use, pack and shelf life

- Dry, reactive, mature, winter-chapped, and eczema-prone skin. Skin that a true soap leaves tight or itching.
- Not this one if
