Artisan Soap – Cold Process - Lavender & Lavender + Vanilla

Artisan Soap – Cold Process (Available in Lavender or Lavender + Vanilla)

Some bars earn their place on the shelf by being good. This one earned its place because it was a question we wanted to ask. The question: Should we be making cold process soap of our own?

We picked these bars to learn. We bought a small run, put them on the shelf, and started listening for whether a cold process lavender soap belongs in our line.

Here’s what we asked of them: a clean ingredient list with shea butter and botanical oils, no sulfates or parabens or petroleum, and a lavender that smells like lavender — not the candle-aisle version. These bars hit those three.

The Lavender bar carries a classic floral profile — fresh blossom, fresh herb, soft musk. The Lavender + Vanilla swaps in vanilla bean and warm amber for a sweet, cozy finish. Same shea-butter base in both; slightly different oil blends underneath.

If you love it, tell us — that's a signal we should make our own cold process line. If you don't, tell us that too. We're paying attention to which way our shelves should grow.

Ingredients (by variant):

Lavender: Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Canola Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Aqua, Sodium Hydroxide, Fragrance. May contain FD&C color.

Lavender + Vanilla: Purified water, saponified oils of organic olive, organic coconut, palm, shea butter, mica, essential and/or fragrance oils.

How to use: Lather with warm water, work over hands or body, rinse clean. Let the bar dry on a draining soap dish between uses to extend its life.

Details:

• Cold process soap bar, hand-cut from a loaf
• Approximately 75–120g or 121–150+g (sizing varies by hand-cut)
• Each bar is unique — color and swirl variations come with the handmade territory

A note on the name. We originally called these “Triple Butter" based on the supplier’s name, but both bars actually contain only shea butter. We’ve renamed them to accurately reflect that they are cold process soaps with botanical oils and shea butter. We prefer to correct it now rather than keep a misleading name.

A note on the lavender. These bars use a sourced fragrance/essential oil instead of our farm-distilled lavender, which we reserve for oils, hydrosols, and the Hydrating Liquid Hand Gel in the Lavender Breeze Collection. If you’ve smelled our farm lavender, this scent will differ.

A note on palm oil (Lavender + Vanilla only). The L+V variant contains palm oil, but the supplier hasn't confirmed if it's RSPO-certified. If palm sourcing is important, the plain Lavender bar is palm-free.
