Three pack: Rose geranium collection

South African rose geranium essential oil is such an intriguing scent, balancing floral and earthy notes, how could we not create a collection centered on it. In this three-pack rose geranium is paired with citrus oils, lavender and earthy patchouli. While similar, each soap smells different and highlights a different element of the scent profile of the oil distilled from this special plant. All three of the soaps in this three-pack have exfoliating particles giving them a lovely, roughness and feature red and green French clays.

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.
