Heat is what destroys the vitamins, antioxidants and aromatic compounds that make a good oil worth using in the first place, so a bar made this way keeps what an industrial one cooks away. It also takes considerably longer, which is why almost nobody does it at scale any more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe range runs from the very gentle to the genuinely serious. There are milk bars built on donkey and goat milk, for skin that has stopped tolerating anything harsh. There are botanicals — real lavender essential oil, Isparta rose, jasmine, aloe. There are traditional Anatolian bars made the same way for centuries, including St. John's wort solar-infused in olive oil and pine tar rendered in earth kilns. And there is a full actives group — retinol, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, kojic acid, niacinamide, snail mucin — for anyone who reads ingredient lists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEvery bar in the collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100 g, cut by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCold-processed and cured for several weeks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParaben-free and SLS-free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever tested on animals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVegan-friendly, apart from the two milk bars and the snail mucin bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt on the same base: olive oil, coconut oil and vegetable glycerin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause each bar is cut by hand from a poured block, no two are quite the same.
