Sea buckthorn soap and bathing bars

Handmade bars carrying the berry oil, for daily washing rather than treatment.

What these are

Cold-process bathing bars with sea buckthorn oil worked in, sold alongside the rest of the body range. The orange colour is the carotenoids in the oil rather than a dye.

Be realistic about a soap

A bar has seconds of contact with the skin and then rinses off. It is a pleasant way to use the oil daily and it is not doing what a leave-on cream does. If you want the oil to actually sit on your skin, that is a cream or a body oil, and a bar is the routine around it.

Picking one

The difference between the bars in this range is mostly the other ingredient — the pulp bar, the plain sea buckthorn bar, and the larger 150 g version. Price per gram varies more than the formulation does.
