Kojic Acid & Turmeric Soap Bar

Kojic acid is a by-product of fermentation — the same process behind sake and soy sauce — and it's been a fixture in Asian brightening routines for years. Here it's combined with turmeric extract and an AHA complex, giving an evenness-focused bar that works on face and body alike.

Worth knowing: this formula is the highest-reviewed product in the supplier's entire range, which reflects genuinely consistent results with regular use.

Ingredients

Kojic acid, turmeric extract, AHA complex, olive oil, coconut oil, vegetable glycerin, sodium hydroxide, water.

How it's made

Cold-processed by hand in Turkey and cured on wooden racks for several weeks. Each bar is cut by hand from a poured block, so slight differences in size, shade and marbling are normal.

Making it last

Keep the bar on a draining dish and never leave it sitting in water. A cold-process bar that dries out fully between uses lasts two to three times longer.
