Black Pomegranate with Pomegranate Seed Oil soap is a sensuous, sophisticated, and long-lasting scent to cold process soap, and the soap itself offers general cleansing, hydrating, and skin-softening benefits.
- Scent Profile: This fragrance is a popular, often designer "dupe" scent, blending rich, fruity notes of pomegranate, plum, and raspberry with a warm base of pink pepper, patchouli, amber, cedarwood, and musk. It's described as a complex, dark, and sensual aroma that is highly popular, especially for autumn and winter products.
The primary benefits of a cold process soap bar are derived from the nourishing oils and butters (like olive, coconut) used in the formulation, which are gently cleansed and conditioned during the saponification process.
- Gentle Cleansing: Handcrafted cold process soaps effectively cleanse the skin without stripping its natural moisture, unlike many commercial detergents.
- Hydration and Moisturization: Ingredients like pomegranate seed oil, (not just a scent), are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and fatty acids (like punicic, oleic, and linoleic acids) that help lock in moisture, soothe inflammation, and leave skin feeling soft and hydrated.
- Skin Conditioning: The natural glycerin produced during the cold process method is retained in the bar, drawing moisture to the skin and contributing to a luxurious, creamy lather.
Activated Charcoal soap offers benefits such as being gentle and moisturizing due to naturally produced glycerin, containing fewer synthetic additives compared to commercial soaps, and providing a detoxifying and oil-absorbing cleanse from the activated charcoal.
- Moisturizing and gentle: The cold process saponification reaction naturally creates glycerin, a humectant that draws moisture to the skin. This keeps the skin hydrated and soft, avoiding dryness often caused by commercial soaps that have had their glycerin removed.
- Less-aggressive cleansing: Cold process soap is less aggressive on the skin, helping to preserve the skin's natural hydrolipidic film, which is a protective layer.
- Detoxifying and purifying: Activated charcoal has a high surface area and is incredibly effective at binding to and absorbing toxins, oils, and dirt from the skin, making it great for deep cleansing.
- Soothing and therapeutic: Many cold process soaps are formulated with additional natural ingredients like oatmeal, shea butter, or sea moss, which can soothe irritation, provide antioxidants, and nourish the skin.
- Ideal for sensitive skin: The absence of harsh synthetic detergents and a gentler pH make cold process soap, particularly those with fewer additives, suitable for those with sensitive, atypical, or irritation-prone skin.
