After working for 10 years as a biochemist, conservationist Monique Kofksy left her job to spend an entire year iterating and crafting 3 different bar soaps; this was one of them.

Home care products like facial cleanser require 29 billion plastic bottles annually. These bottles either still exist on the earth somewhere, or have been burned.
Some reasons we love bar soaps so much is that:
Most liquid soaps are 75-85% water with just a bit of concentrate. This means that when we’re purchasing hair wash, we're practically just buying water, all wrapped up in heavy plastic and transported hundreds of miles.
On average, the production of liquid soap requires 5x times more energy for raw material, has a 10x bigger carbon footprint, and uses almost 20x more energy for packaging production than traditional bar soaps.
liquid soap contributes to much more ecotoxicity, ozone depletion, and eutrophication potential than bar soaps.
Our bar soaps aren't petroleum-based, which is common for liquid soaps.
Most liquid soaps contain palm-oil. Palm oil is one of the major drivers of deforestation, destroying some of the worlds most diverse forests, and destroying the habitat of several already endangered species.
It hasn't caused any breakouts and makes my skin feel super clean. The bar lasts a long time and will continue to purchase in the future!
I have acne-prone skin, and this cleanser was gentle on it! It does feel like it leaves a slightly waxy residue, but my skin feels moisturized.
So far I’m living this — simple ingredients and doesn’t leave the face feeling oily or dry!
I bought this for my oldest son who has struggled with acne most of his life. When I spoke to him about it later he said it was working well, and when I saw him I could see a dramatic improvement in his complexion. Subsequently I bought one for my husband and I, and another for our daughter. I struggle with dry skin, especially on my face, and I like that my face feels clean and smooth after using it instead of dried out as other face washes did.
Came just as described! I still need to try it for myself, but I love how the bar has simple and natural ingredients!
