This is a pre-order. Bars are poured Tuesday Nov 11, cured for 6 weeks, and shipped the week of Dec 23.

Deep Current is a bar with intention behind it. Colored with indigo powder. Scented with Spearmint, Eucalyptus Globulus, fir needle, not a fragrance blend, actual essential oils chosen for scent. The oil base is olive, coconut, shea butter, mango butter, and castor oil. A formula that conditions while it cleans, retains all the glycerin, and produces a lather that doesn't strip. Cold process. Hand-poured in Ottawa. 6-week cure before it ships.

EXPERIENCE THE FEEL

Lift the bar and the first thing you notice is cool, fresh mint, crisp spearmint with the clean, open feel of eucalyptus. Underneath, fir needle adds a green, woodsy note, like a walk through evergreens on a cold morning. As you lather, the foam turns creamy and dense, and the scent stays crisp and refreshing without being sharp. It rinses clean without that tight, squeaky feeling. Afterwards, your skin feels soft and comfortable, and the scent fades to a light, clean freshness.

COMMON QUESTIONS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS

Q: Does this bar really contain glycerin?
A: Yes. Cold process soap always retains its glycerin unless it is removed by the manufacturer. Commercial soap removes glycerin
because it is a valuable ingredient in cosmetics and lotions. Natural cold process soap keeps it in the bar. The glycerin is what makes the
lather feel conditioning rather than stripping.

Q: How does it lather and condition at the same time?
A: The lather comes from lauric and myristic acids in the coconut oil. The conditioning comes from the oleic acid in olive oil and the
emollient properties of shea and mango butters. Castor oil adds ricinoleic acid, which is humectant and boosts lather from other oils. The
formula is designed to do both.

Q: What gives it that colour?
A: Deep Current is coloured with indigo powder. Plant pigments in cold process can shift colour during cure this is normal and expected. The finished colour is the result of the pigment interacting with the saponification environment. No two batches are identical.

Q: What's the scent?
A: Deep Current is scented with Spearmint EO, Eucalyptus Globulus, Fir Needle. These are real essential oils not fragrance oils or synthetic compounds. They are used at concentrations within IFRA rinse-off
guidelines. There is no synthetic fragrance in this bar.

Q: How long does the bar last?
A: A 90g bar used daily lasts approximately 4-6 weeks with a well-draining soap dish. Sitting in water dramatically shortens bar life. The 6-week cure before shipping hardens the bar, which extends its use life.
