The morning alarm clock we need. This big chunk of a Bar Soap has become my favorite way to wake up. As soon as the Soap hits the hot water, I get hit with a sharp, cool energizing tingle that fills the entire bathroom and travels down the hallways. It’s got a fistful of Organic Peppermint that energizes, French Blue Clay that draws out impurities, and Big Sur Sea Salt which exfoliates and mineralizes. This process removes dead cells, allowing skin to become more receptive to all actives and moisture.We chose Poppy Seeds as the exfoliant because their roundness smoothes out the skin evenly and gently — with no sharp edges, meaning no micro-tears. Our Sea Salt is sustainably sourced from the waters of Big Sur. Our friend Carlo Overhulser harvests evaporating seawater, which contains a complex mixture of minerals, trace elements, and organic matter that are unique to each ocean and region. His process of evaporation concentrates these components in a painstaking process, resulting in a distinctive texture. Packed full of Garden ingredients, this recipe is hyper-simple, but the process is not – everything is truly made by hand and sourced from a fully traceable collection of growers. One important example is our Babassu Oil, which we sourced as an alternative to dreadful Palm Oil. It is harvested on the perimeter of the rainforest in Brazil by local communities, rather than industrialized. The seeds are gathered by a collective of Indigenous women who use the funds to directly support their families and community.Rise & shine.
