(SAPONIFICATION TAKES A FEW HOURS. BUT BEFORE SOAP IS GENTLE ON SKIN, IT HAS TO CURE. AT MUSK WE DON'T RUSH OUR SOAPS.)

Fresh soap is finished soap? Not quite.

How soap is made.

Saponification

Oils and lye turn into soap in the cold. The reaction takes a few hours at 40 °C. The only chemistry you'll happily put on your skin.

Hand-cutting

We cut the block into bars with a wire. Each one is a little different — handwork isn't a flaw, it's character.

Curing

21 days on the shelf. Water evaporates, the soap hardens and becomes gentler on skin. We pack it only when it's ready.

Why is every bar slightly different?

Because we cut it by hand with a wire, not by machine. The size and the pattern on top vary — a mark of handwork, not a defect. The weight stated with the product always applies.

What does “cold process” mean?

Saponification done cold. We don't heat the mixture, so more of the oils' beneficial compounds and the natural glycerine stay in the soap. The reward is a gentler soap — but it has to cure longer.

Why palm-oil-free?

Palm oil can be replaced — we use olive, coconut and castor oil. The same lather, no pressure on tropical rainforests.

How long does a bar last?

A solid soap lasts weeks with normal use. Let it dry between uses on a draining soap dish and it will last significantly longer.
