Noir Opium and Kaolin Powder Soap

Noir Opium fragrance and Kaolin Powder a beautiful two tone bar that offers a range of skin benefits including gentle cleansing, detoxification, moisturizing, and a luxurious sensory experience.

General Benefits using the Cold Process Method preserves the integrity of the natural, plant-based oils and butters used to make the soap, as no external heat is applied beyond the initial mixing (saponification) process.
Retained Glycerin: Natural glycerin, a humectant that draws moisture to the skin, is a byproduct of saponification and remains in cold process soap bars (unlike most commercial soaps, where it's often removed). This helps prevent the skin from feeling dry or tight.

Nourishing & Moisturizing: The natural oils olive and coconut are used in the process are not exposed to high heat, so they retain their vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, providing superior moisturizing and emollient qualities to the skin.
Gentle Formulation: These soaps are typically free from harsh synthetic detergents (surfactants), preservatives, and artificial coloring agents, making them a good choice for people with sensitive or easily irritated skin.
Kaolin Powder Benefits
Kaolin clay is a mild and versatile natural additive that enhances the soap's performance and feel.
Gentle Cleansing & Exfoliation: Its fine texture provides a very mild, natural exfoliation, helping to remove dead skin cells, dirt, and impurities from the pores without being abrasive.
Detoxification & Oil Absorption: Kaolin is known for its ability to absorb excess oil and toxins from the skin, helping to balance sebum production for all skin types, including oily and sensitive skin.
Enhanced Texture & Lather: The clay imparts a smooth, silky quality and "slip" to the soap bar, which improves the lather's creaminess and stability, often a desired feature in products like shaving soap.
Scent Fixative: It can act as a natural anchor for the fragrance, helping the "Noir Opium" scent to last longer in the bar and on the skin.
"Noir Opium" Fragrance
The "Noir Opium" (similar to the popular designer perfume Black Opium) element provides a unique sensorial and aromatic experience.
Aromatherapy/Sensory Indulgence: The scent profile, typically a blend of notes like black coffee, white florals (such as jasmine and orange blossom), and warm vanilla or patchouli, transforms the daily washing routine into a luxurious, spa-like experience.
