Description
Fur/hair does contain Keratin and Amino acids.
The rich lather creates a silky-smooth feel as it pampers your skin.
We only use a tiny amount of hair in one batch of soap, but it is a contribution to a greener and cleaner New Zealand.
Possums are a major threat to our unique ecosystem, causing significant damage to our forests and endangering countless native species. By using possum hair in our soap, we're contributing to pest control efforts while creating a luxurious and sustainable product. Enjoy the benefits of this innovative soap, knowing you're making a positive impact on New Zealand's precious native bush and wildlife.

| Citric acid | in your soap serves a dual purpose. It helps your soap perform well in hard water by preventing mineral build up, ensuring a rich lather. Additionally, it acts as a natural preservative, extending the soap's shelf life for a longer-lasting product you'll enjoy. |
| Sugar | Added to soap recipes to increase lather and bubbles. Acts as a natural humectant, attracting moisture to the skin. |
| Micas | are natural mineral-based pigments that are used to add colour and shimmer to soap. They come in various shades and are often used to create visually appealing and decorative patterns in soap bars. Micas are safe for use in cosmetics and soap because they do not contain synthetic dyes or harmful chemicals, making them a popular choice for adding vibrant and eye-catching. |
| Fragrance Oils | The fragrances we use come from reputable sources and are phthalate-free. (Phthalates are synthetic chemicals sometimes used in fragrances, and they have been linked to potential health concerns such as allergies, skin irritation, and even disruptions to hormonal balance.) |
