Description

This one is a bit different - I added Possum hair in the lye water, which meant that the hair got completely dissolved, but hopefully left some positive qualities. I sieved the lye water carefully to make sure that no actual hair/fur has been transferred into the soap. It's no different from putting corn silk/actual silk or wool into the lye water (something that many soapmakers do for the positive qualities that result from that).

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.





Scented with: Animalistic and Wild Musk

Saponified oils: (Tallow, Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Castor Oil). Water, glycerine*, Fragrance oil, mica

*Please note that I don't put any extra glycerine into the soap - this is just the glycerine that is created naturally during the soap making process.

Properties of oils / materials used:

Tallow Provides excellent hardness to soap for long-lasting bars. Produces a creamy lather with good cleansing properties. Contains skin-friendly vitamins A, D, E, and K. Natural antioxidants help protect the skin.
Coconut Creates a bubbly and effective cleansing lather. Adds firmness to soap bars for durability. Contains natural antioxidants to provide some skin protection.
Olive Offers gentle cleansing with a soft and luxurious lather. High oleic acid content makes it superb for nourishing the skin. Rich in vitamin E, a potent antioxidant for skin protection.
Rice Bran Balances cleansing and nourishing properties. Provides a creamy lather for a pampering bathing experience. Contains vitamin E (tocopherols) and gamma-oryzanol, natural antioxidants for skin health.
Castor Attracts moisture to the skin, ensuring hydration. Enhances lather and bubbles for a satisfying wash. Contains vitamin E and essential fatty acids for some skin nourishment.
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.)
