The best-smelling soap I've ever had. I use one for my hands and another three to make my wardrobe smell nice. Amazing :)

This soap lives up to its name. The cream top layer flows in a gentle wave into a warm caramel one, topped with a sprinkling of dried herbs. A herbal soap with lemon balm extract — a calm piece you reach for when you want to catch your breath for a moment. The caramel is only the colour of the layer, not the scent: the soap smells of herbs, not of a patisserie.
The scent is fresh and citrusy — carried by pure citronella essential oil, no fragrance blends; as with all our soaps, the scent is 100% natural. In the recipe it is joined by extracts of lemon balm and blackcurrant leaves. The gentle recipe suits mature skin too and leaves the skin pleasantly soft after washing, not tight. And yes, citrus essential oils naturally contain allergens; you will find them on the label, not swept under the carpet — why that is not a flaw in the recipe is explained in our article on allergens in cosmetics.
Why is the wave never the same twice?
Because no machine draws it. We make the two coloured masses by the cold process, guide the wave between them by hand and cut the block with a wire — so the line between cream and caramel runs a little differently on every bar, and the herb sprinkling settles its own way each time. The soap then cures on the shelf for at least 30 days — not because something miraculous happens on day thirty, but because that is our production minimum. We do not see it as imprecision. We see it as a signature.
Give it a moment of peace of its own by letting it dry out between washes — on a soap dish or in a soap saver bag it lasts longer and wears down more evenly. The lemon balm line continues with the soft Lemon Balm whipped body butter and the Lemon Balm oil serum. In its paper box it makes a welcome gift too.
