Retinol Soap Bar

Retinol — a vitamin A derivative — is the most-studied ingredient in the anti-aging category, and putting it into a cold-processed bar makes it an unusually approachable first step for customers who find serums intimidating.

Use it as the cleansing stage of an evening routine rather than a leave-on treatment. This is one of the collection's clearest "actives" bars, aimed at a mature-skin customer already familiar with ingredient-led skincare.

30+ customers. Mature skin. Uneven tone.

How to use

Evening use only. Lather onto wet skin, leave thirty seconds, rinse. Start three to four times a week and build up as skin adjusts.

Ingredients

Retinol (vitamin A), 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.
