Behind the Bar: What Goes into Our Handcrafted Soaps

There’s something sacred about a handcrafted soap bar. It’s more than just something to wash with—it’s a ritual, a moment, a vibe. And when it comes to Oshun Skin, every bar is crafted with purpose, intention, and plant magic.

So today, let’s peel back the curtain and show you exactly what goes into our soaps—because the ingredients matter just as much as the energy behind them.

1. Nature’s Pantry

Our soap bars are made with 100% natural ingredients. That means no hidden synthetics, no sneaky fragrances, and definitely no harsh fillers. Each bar is full of plant-based oils, butters, powders, and extracts that your skin knows how to work with—not against.

From the creamy lather of coconut oil to the vitamin-rich glow of rosehip oil, every ingredient has a job and a reason to be there. Whether it’s turmeric to gently exfoliate, moringa to purify, or sea moss to nourish—each one is chosen for how it supports your skin, not for fancy marketing fluff.

2. Made for Real Skin, Not Perfection

We design our bars for skin that lives life—sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, skin that’s a little tired or just figuring things out. Each recipe is hand-formulated to balance, cleanse, and hydrate without leaving you tight, dry, or irritated.

Here’s what you’ll find inside some of our best-loved bars:
🧡 Turmeric Revival Bar – great for uneven tone and breakouts; honey and turmeric gently polish the skin while sea moss and almond oil restore hydration.
💗 Rosehip Radiance Bar – for skin needing deep nourishment; mafura and cocoa butter smooth, while rosehip and sea moss boost elasticity.
💚 Moringa Nourish Bar – a purifying bar that works wonders for oily or blemish-prone skin; moringa powder and rosemary oil cleanse, while mango and shea butter soften.

No two bars are the same, but each one brings together skin-loving ingredients that support balance over beauty standards.

3. Kind to Skin, and Kind to Earth

Oshun Skin isn’t just about skincare—it’s about care, full stop. Our bars come wrapped in 100% recyclable, biodegradable glassine paper. No plastic, no waste, just clean product in clean packaging.

They last between 2 to 4 weeks, depending on how often you use them—and because they’re so rich in oils and butters, a little goes a long way. We believe your skincare should work for you and the planet.

4. Handcrafted

Each bar is poured in small batches, from our studio space to your home. Just carefully measured recipes, lovingly stirred, poured, and cured.

This process helps us stay connected to what we’re making and who we’re making it for. You. The conscious one. The skin-in-the-game kind of human who knows that skincare isn’t just about looking good—it’s about feeling supported in your everyday ritual.

These bars are little pockets of nourishment made to honour your skin exactly where it’s at.

So, the next time you pick up a soap bar from us, know that there’s a whole lot of love (and sea moss) packed in.
