Black Sesame Bar Soap

BLACK SESAME is back, with an updated scent! This is a lush, creamy soap inspired by one of the most beloved ingredients of my childhood. In Taiwan, where the maker's family is from, black sesame is both a comfort food and a nutritional powerhouse.

Made with shea butter, organic camellia oil, and coconut milk, this soap is nourishing but also rich in antioxidants. It is gently exfoliating, with finely ground black sesame seeds and activated charcoal. The scent is clean, sweet and herbaceous, with a hint of nuttiness from the sesame and notes of cedar, orange, and lavender.

For best results, use within six to 12 months. This soap is made with plant oils, botanicals, naturally occurring clays, and essential oils. I do not use cosmetic micas, preservatives, or synthetic fragrance. That means the colors and scents will fade over time, though the soap itself will be good to use indefinitely.

To extend the life of your soap, keep it dry between uses on a draining soap dish. Do not place in direct contact with water (except when bathing, of course!). Handmade soap does not contain commercial hardening agents, so this will really help to make your bar last longer.
