FAQs

Questions

Why does the soap contain sodium hydroxide (lye)?
Sodium hydroxide is required for saponification – the chemical reaction that turns oils into soap and glycerin. In properly made and cured cold-process soap, no lye remains in the final bar; it's completely safe and mild.

What are the benefits of activated charcoal in this soap?
Activated charcoal is a natural magnet for impurities, drawing out dirt, oil, and toxins from pores for a deep cleanse. It helps balance oily skin, reduce acne, and leave skin feeling refreshed without stripping moisture.

Is this soap suitable for acne-prone or oily skin?
Yes! The detoxifying charcoal targets excess oil and impurities, while the natural oils nourish without clogging pores – perfect for clearer, healthier-looking skin.

How long does the lime scent last on the skin?
The pure essential oil provides a fresh citrus aroma during use, with a subtle lingering scent that fades naturally – no overpowering synthetic fragrances.

Is the palm oil sustainable?
Absolutely – we use only RSPO certified sustainable palm oil to support ethical sourcing.

How should I store the soap to make it last longer?
Keep it dry between uses on a well-draining soap dish. Allow air circulation, avoid sitting in water, and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Is this soap vegan?
Yes, all ingredients are plant-based with no animal products.

Can I use it on my face?
Yes – gentle enough for facial use, especially for detoxifying. Avoid eye area and follow with moisturizer if needed.
