Rice protein & Rosemary Shampoo and Conditioner Bar
A creamy, low-waste shampoo and conditioner bar formulated with hydrolyzed rice protein and a blend of plant butters and oils. Coconut oil, kokum butter, and jojoba give the bar its rich lather and slip; rosemary and peppermint bring a fresh, herbaceous scent and a light cooling note on the scalp. Cleanses and conditions in one step, leaving hair soft, smooth, and easy to manage. Suitable for all hair types, with a little extra body for fine or limp hair.
Ingredients
Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Garcinia Indica (Kokum) Seed Butter, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Cetyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, Sodium Lactate, Panthenol, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, Butylene Glycol, Limonene*, Linalool* (*from essential oils)
How to Use
Wet your hair thoroughly. Glide the bar lightly over your hair near the hairline and crown — go sparingly, a few passes is more than enough since this is a concentrated bar. Set the bar down, then work the lather through the hair strands to the ends with your fingertips.
If you prefer, wet your hands and rub the bar between them, then work the lather into your hair. It foams readily either way.
Rinse thoroughly.
Between uses, keep the bar where it can drain and dry fully.
Colloidal oats & Lavender Shower Bar
A gentle shower bar made with ultra-fine colloidal oats, mango butter, and jojoba. The oats give the lather a soft, silky slip; Bulgarian lavender adds a quiet floral warmth to your shower. pH-balanced and mild, it cleanses without stripping, leaving skin feeling smooth, soft, and comfortable. Gentle enough for daily use, and especially welcome on dry skin.
Ingredients
Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Sodium Lactate, Tocopherol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Oil, Citric Acid, Linalyl Acetate*, Limonene*, Linalool* (*from essential oil)
How to Use
Wet your skin, then glide the bar directly over it and work the lather in with your hands.
Rinse thoroughly.
Store the bar where it can drain and dry between uses.
Saw palmetto & Rosemary Scalp and Hair Oil
A lightweight scalp and hair oil built on pumpkin seed, green tea seed, and fenugreek oils, with saw palmetto and a touch of rosemary and peppermint. Absorbs without leaving a greasy film, easing the tight, dry feeling that can follow washing. Massage a few drops into the scalp and leave on or use as a pre-wash treatment. Suits all hair types, with the most noticeable difference on fine or limp hair.
Ingredients
Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Cucurbita Pepo (Pumpkin) Seed Oil, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Seed Oil, Trigonella Foenum-Graecum (Fenugreek) Seed Oil, Serenoa Serrulata (Saw Palmetto) Fruit Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, Tocopherol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Limonene*, Linalool* (*from essential oils)
How to Use
Patch test before first use: apply a few drops on your inner forearm and leave for 24 hours. If irritation occurs, do not use.
Massage 3–5 drops into a dry scalp, working in sections with your fingertips. Smooth whatever remains on your hands through the mid-lengths and ends. Leave for an hour or overnight before washing. Use two to three times a week.
Store closed, out of direct sunlight. Use within 6 months of opening.
Antioxidants & Bakuchiol Revitalizing Face Oil
A silky, fast-absorbing face oil built on Sytenol® A bakuchiol — a >99.7% pure but gentle, plant-derived alternative to retinol. Blended with cold-pressed botanical oils chosen for their fatty acid, ceramide, and antioxidant profiles. Absorbs cleanly without residue, softening the look of fine lines and leaving skin supple, smooth, and luminous. Photostable, so it works morning or night. Made with mature skin in mind.
Ingredients
Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Camellia Oleifera (Tea) Seed Oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Seed Oil, Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Seed Oil, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Oil, Vaccinium Myrtillus (Bilberry) Seed Oil, Oenothera Biennis (Evening primrose) Oil, Bakuchiol, Tocopherol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Nigella Sativa (Black seed) Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Oil, Boswellia Serrata (Frankincense) Resin Oil, Cananga Odorata (Ylang Ylang) Oil, Linalyl Acetate*, Linalool*, Limonene*, Eugenol*, Pinene* (*from essential oils)
How to Use
Patch test before first use: apply a drop to your inner forearm and leave for 24 hours. If irritation occurs, do not use.
Warm 2-3 drops between your fingertips and press into clean, slightly damp skin — damp skin helps the oil spread further and absorb faster. Work outward from the center of the face, including the neck.
Use it as the last step in your routine, after any water-based serum. If your skin is dry, apply over your moisturizer. If it’s oily or combination, the oil alone is usually enough and press more in dry areas.
For morning use, follow with your usual sunscreen.

Ingredients Highlight
Chosen deliberately, disclosed completely.
Learn why we chose our ingredients.
Rice protein & Rosemary Shampoo & Conditioner Bar
Cleansers: sodium cocoyl isethionate and sodium lauryl sulfoacetate, both coconut-derived. Chosen for a dense, creamy lather at a milder pH than conventional sulfates.
Conditioning: behentrimonium methosulfate, a plant-derived conditioning agent that gives the bar its slip and detangling character without a separate rinse-out step.
Proteins: hydrolyzed rice protein, a low-molecular-weight protein that deposits on the hair shaft.
Humectants: sodium lactate, panthenol, and butylene glycol — ingredients that attract and hold water, helping hair feel hydrated rather than stripped after washing.
Lipids: kokum butter and coconut oil for richness; jojoba, a liquid wax rather than a true oil, for a light non-greasy finish. Lipids coat the hair shaft and slow how quickly moisture leaves, which is what keeps hair feeling soft and smooth rather than rough.
Aromatics: rosemary and peppermint essential oils, each at 1%, for scent and a light cooling sensation.
Colloidal Oats & Lavender Shower Bar
Cleansers: sodium cocoyl isethionate and cocamidopropyl betaine, both derived from coconut feedstock, are combined for a dense, creamy lather at a mild pH.
Colloidal oats: Avena sativa flour, milled ultra-fine so it disperses evenly through the lather. Oats contribute starches, proteins, and beta-glucans, which is where the bar’s characteristic silky slip comes from.
Lipids: mango seed butter and coconut oil for richness; jojoba, a liquid wax rather than a true oil, for a light finish. Where humectants attract water, lipids coat the skin surface and slow how quickly moisture leaves — which is what keeps skin feeling soft rather than tight after washing.
Humectants: sodium lactate. This attracts and holds water, helping skin feel comfortable rather than stripped after washing.
pH: citric acid, used to bring the finished bar to a skin-friendly pH between 5-5.5.
Aromatics: Bulgarian lavender essential oil, for a soft, relaxing scent.
Saw Palmetto & Rosemary Scalp & Hair Oil
Base oils: pumpkin seed and green tea seed, both cold-pressed. Pumpkin seed is high in linoleic acid, which gives the blend its light, fast-absorbing character; green tea seed is oleic-rich and more oxidatively stable. Together they balance absorbency against stability.
Fenugreek and saw palmetto seed oils: two less common seed oils, included for their fatty acid and phytosterol content.
Coconut oil: predominantly lauric acid, a short straight-chain fatty acid with low molecular weight. That combination lets coconut oil penetrate the hair fiber rather than resting on the surface — one of the few plant oils that does.
Antioxidant: tocopherol, a naturally occurring vitamin E from sunflower, which helps keep the oils in the blend fresh.
Aromatics: rosemary and peppermint essential oils, each at 1%, for scent and a light cooling sensation on the scalp.
Antioxidants & Bakuchiol Face oil
Bakuchiol: Sytenol® A, the grade used in most published bakuchiol research. CO2-extracted from wild-harvested Psoralea corylifolia (babchi) seed, ≥99.7% pure with psoralens under 3 ppm. Used at 1% — the maximum the manufacturer recommends. A meroterpene phenol, structurally unrelated to retinol but often used in its place.
Fatty acids: linoleic acid from rosehip and grapeseed, γ-linolenic from evening primrose, punicic acid from pomegranate — an unusual conjugated fatty acid found in few other plant oils.
Ceramides: oat kernel oil, one of the few plant oils that carries them.
Antioxidants: naturally occurring tocopherols from the seed oils, plus added vitamin E.
Stability and texture: meadowfoam and jojoba are among the most oxidation-resistant plant lipids, which helps protect the more delicate oils in the blend while giving the blend its light, non-greasy finish.
Aromatics: lavender, frankincense, and ylang ylang essential oils, each at 0.1%, for a soft resinous-floral scent.
