Oud has a complex, warm, and intense scent profile that is often described as woody, musky, and earthy. It can have smoky, leathery, and even animalic nuances, sometimes combined with sweeter notes like honey, amber, or vanilla. Depending on the specific source and how it's blended, it can also have fruity, spicy, or resinous aspects.  

Why Olive Oil? - MOISTURISING - Olive oil offers several benefits for the skin, including deep hydration, antioxidant protection, and anti-inflammatory properties It can help moisturise dry skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and protect against sun damage. Olive oil also has antibacterial properties, which may help with wound healing and potentially reduce acne.

Why Coconut Oil? - CLEANSING - Coconut oil offers several potential benefits for the skin due to its moisturising, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. It can help hydrate dry skin, reduce inflammation, and potentially aid in wound healing. It can be used as a gentle and effective makeup remover, breaking down even waterproof makeup.

Why Castor Oil? - LATHERING - Castor oil offers several potential benefits for the skin, including moisturising, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, which can help with dry skin, acne, and wound healing. It's rich in ricinoleic acid, a fatty acid that can improve skin barrier function and potentially reduce the appearance of wrinkles and scars. 

Why Lye? - CONVERSION OF OILS TO SOAP - Specifically sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, is a crucial ingredient in soap making because it facilitates the chemical reaction called saponification, which transforms oils and fats into soap.

Why Mica based Earth Pigments? - Mica-based earth pigments are natural mineral powder, derived from the mica mineral, that are ground into a fine powder. They are used to create shimmering or iridescent effects in various applications like cosmetics, paints, and soaps. Mica is a naturally occurring mineral that can be mined or created in a lab.
