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

Golden Harvest is a bar with intention behind it. Colored with annatto-infused olive oil. Scented with litsea cubeba, lemon, orange and ginger essential oils, not a fragrance blend, actual essential oils chosen for scent and skin function. 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 citrus: zesty lemon and sweet orange with the sharp, green brightness of litsea cubeba. Underneath, ginger adds a gentle warmth that stays with you as you lather. The foam is creamy and dense, and it rinses clean without that tight, squeaky feeling. Afterwards, your skin feels soft and comfortable, and the scent lingers lightly.

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: Golden Harvest is coloured with annatto infused olive oil. 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: Golden Harvest is scented with Litsea cubeba, Lemon, Orange and Ginger essentail oils. 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.
