Why we stand behind it
This is cleansing at its best. When this body bar melts with water it creates a rich lather that replenishes and fortifies the skin's natural moisture barrier, leaving your hands, body and face nourished and silk soft. A combination of deeply hydrating and conditioning ingredients enriched with marigold extracts and petals to help calm and soothe the skin, protecting against irritation. Suitable for all skin types and tones, the Soak Me Up Soap Bar has a creamy texture that cleans and comforts for an all-over sensorial experience. Our signature fragrance is enhanced with invigorating and refreshing notes of bergamot, grapefruit, geranium and cedar that encapsulates indulgence.
Make bathing a part of your self-care routine and soak up the natural zesty and woody scents of a forest. This versatile soap bar will soothe not only your skin, but also your mind, while the marigold petals gently exfoliate and awaken your senses. As Soak Me Up melts into your skin, all your cares are washed away. In our busy lives it can be difficult to find time to relax and practice self-care. This soap bar allows you to do just that, and might entice you to spend a whole afternoon in the bath. Even if you only have time for a quick shower, Soak Me Up recreates a nostalgic in-shower experience, imparting softer and smoother skin like you’ve already applied a moisturiser. You’ll step out refreshed, cleansed and ready to take on the day.
Key ingredients
Safou oil: A unique vegetable oil that ethically slows down the ageing process of the skin, naturally improving texture and elasticity. Rich in fatty acids, vitamin C and E, safou oil is fast acting, keeping the skin hydrated, protected and soothed.
Shea butter: A rich nut butter containing natural antioxidants and fatty acids. These fatty acids are rapidly absorbed by the skin to restore lipids and correct signs of ageing. With anti-inflammatory and nourishing properties to shield the skin, shea butter restores the barrier between your skin and the environment.
Calendula flower extract: Its anti-inflammatory properties calm, soothe and ease irritation, while the antioxidants protect and strengthen the skin against damaging free radicals.

What is an undertone?
An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:
Pink/Cool
I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.
Neutral
I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.
Yellow/Warm
I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.
