Three pack: Earth tone collection

The Earth tone three-pack collection provides you with three naturally fragranced cold-processed soaps in neutral, earth tone colour palettes. They employ rooibos powder, activated charcoal and coffee grounds to achieve a natural, neutral earth-tone colour palette. The scent profile of this three-pack is woody and grounded, featuring citrus essential oils like bergamot, petitgrain and orange in complement with cedarwood, tea tree and neroli essential oils. 

The three cold-processed soaps in the earth-tone collection:

Cedarwood, bergamot and petitgrain with rooibos – brown with exfoliating rooibos dust

Petitgrain and tea tree with activated charcoal – black

Neroli and Valencia orange with coffee ground – off white, speckled with exfoliating coffee grounds

 

OUR COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE

Our luxurious cold-processed soaps have been formulated using a carefully selected blend of plant oils to balance the foaming, cleansing and conditioning properties of the soap. Each oil used in our soaps has a characteristic fatty acid profile. Understanding of the properties that each fatty acid imparts to soap, has allowed us to artfully formulate a blend of oils to optimise the properties of our soap, resulting in the creation of a hard, long-lasting natural soap bar that produces a rich, bubbly lather, that cleans without drying one’s skin.

NATURALLY FRAGRANCED

Ash & Mill cold-processed soaps are naturally fragranced and are scented with essential oils. No artificial fragrances are used.

COLD-PROCESSED – RICH IN GLYCERINE

Our soaps are also rich in glycerine, a natural humectant, which contributes to the moisturizing properties of our soaps.  By keeping the temperature low during the saponification process, the glycerin that is liberated as the fatty acid ester bonds of our triglyceride oils are cleaved is not lost, and remains in the soap bar. By contrast, when soap is made via  a hot-process, this moisturizing molecule separates out from the fatty acid salts (soap) and is not retained. 

FREE OF ARTIFICIAL DYES AND PIGMENTS

The beautiful colours and appearance of our soaps are achieved using natural ingredients like clays, ground fynbos particles and activated charcoal. We have endeavored to avoid the use of synthetic dyes and pigments.
