Sunset Ember is a bar with intention behind it. Colored with annatto seed powder.

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 bright citrus: juicy sweet orange, sparkling lemon and a tangy lift of grapefruit. Soft lavender rounds it out, and a breath of eucalyptus keeps the whole blend crisp and clean. As you lather, the foam turns creamy and dense, and the scent stays sunny and uplifting 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, warm 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: Sunset Ember is coloured with Annatto seed 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: Sunset Ember is scented with Sweet Orange, Lemon 5 fold, Grapefruit, Lavender 40/42, Eucalyptus. These are real essential oils steam-distilled, 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 100g 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.
