Crate 61 Organics Citrus Cold Process Bar Soap — Pack of 6, Handmade Moisturizing Bars

These artisanal bars combine a fruit-oil plant base with olive, coconut, shea, avocado and castor oils for gentle cleansing and skin conditioning without synthetic fragrances, colorants, or preservatives. Each pack includes six citrus-scented bars that are cold-processed to retain natural glycerin and moisturizing properties. The bars are finished with kaolin clay and botanical tints for a refined texture and subtle color, and packaged in FSC-certified paperboard to reduce environmental impact.

What makes a cold process soap different from regular soap?

Cold process soap is made by combining oils and lye at controlled temperatures and allowing the mixture to saponify slowly. This preserves the soap’s natural glycerin and allows essential oils, butters, and clays to remain active, producing a creamier, longer-lasting bar with more skin-conditioning benefits than many mass-produced alternatives.

• Retains natural glycerin for gentle moisturization
• Supports inclusion of butters and botanical extracts
• Handcrafted small-batch quality and consistent texture
• Minimal processing, no synthetic additives

How will these citrus bars feel and perform on dry skin?

The formula is blended to cleanse without stripping: olive and avocado oils nourish, shea butter adds creamy emollience, and coconut oil supports lather. Kaolin clay provides a soft, silky finish that helps remove impurities while leaving a hydrated, not tight, skin feel.

• Rich but balanced lather suitable for face and body
• Shea and olive oils help maintain skin softness
• Kaolin clay gently exfoliates and refines texture
• Natural glycerin locks in moisture post-wash

Are these soaps truly free from synthetic additives?

Yes — the Citrus pack uses only premium essential oils, select natural fragrances, and botanical tints. The ingredient philosophy excludes phthalates, parabens, sulfates, silicones, micas, oxides, and artificial dyes, delivering a clean formulation for those who prefer naturally derived bath products.

• Essential-oil driven scent profile, no synthetic perfumes
• Botanical extracts and clays for natural color and texture
• Transparent ingredient choices suitable for clean-beauty shoppers
• Packaged in recyclable, FSC-certified paperboard

How should I use and store these bars to maximize lifespan?

Use the bars with a washcloth or loofah to create a creamy lather; rinse thoroughly and allow the soap to dry between uses. Properly stored, cold process bars last longer than many commercial soaps because of their high-quality oils and low moisture content right after curing.

• Keep on a draining soap dish to avoid sogginess
• Store extras in a cool, dry place away from direct sun
• Rotate bars to allow full air-dry between uses
• Each bar typically lasts weeks depending on frequency
