Three pack: Two-tone rooibos collection

One of two, two-tone collections in the Ash & Mill range, this collection pairs rooibos half and half with green French clay, red French clay and uncoloured soap halves. The cape rooibos powder used in this collection provides a degree of roughness to the soap, creating soap that is partially exfoliating. The fragrance profile of the rooibos three-pack is varied, and uses pairings of lavender with citrus oils, rose geranium and earthy patchouli, creating a collection that is fresh, floral and earthy.

The three cold-processed soaps in the two-tone rooibos collection:

Bergamot and lavender with Rooibos – white and brown with rooibos exfoliating powder.

Rose geranium and lavender with green French clay and rooibos – green and brown with rooibos exfoliating powder.

Bergamot, patchouli and lavender with red French clay and rooibos – pale pink and brown with rooibos exfoliating powder.

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.
