Ayurvedic Soaps
Soap is where a formulation house has nowhere to hide: few ingredients, and every one of them on your skin daily. Our range covers three approaches, nine bars in total, all made in our own Goa facility from named botanical ingredients.
Soap De Goa
Our signature series, handmade by the cold process method, in three variants. The Sensitive bar cleanses gently enough for reactive skin. The Charcoal bar uses activated charcoal to draw out impurities, suited to skin that congests on the back, chest and shoulders. The Exfoliating bar polishes as it cleanses, for skin that builds up and dulls.
Dosha-specific soaps
Four bars matched to skin type through dosha logic, which is skin typing with a longer history. Vata for dry skin that feels tight and flakes. Pitta for sensitive and reactive skin that flushes easily. Kapha for oily skin that congests. Santulan for balance, the general-purpose bar when none of the other three describes you. It is the same three-way classification modern cosmetic science uses under different names; the tradition simply got there first and named it better.
Cold process soaps
Including the Purifying bar and the Baby & Toddler bar. Cold process means the soap is made at low temperature and cured over weeks rather than hours, which leaves the natural glycerin in the bar instead of extracting it for sale elsewhere, and preserves the more fragile components of the botanical oils. That is why a cold process bar does not leave skin tight the way commercial soap does, and it is the reason this method is worth the extra time and cost.
Getting the most from a handmade bar
Let it drain between showers. A cold process bar holds more water than a commercial one and will soften in a puddle, so a slotted dish roughly doubles its life. Lather in your hands or on a cloth rather than dragging the bar across your skin. Rinse warm rather than hot, and moisturize while your skin is still damp, which is when a body lotion does most of its work.
Made by us, in Goa
All nine bars are natural and vegan, made with premium botanical extracts and no synthetic additives, in the same GMP-certified facility that produces our clinical Dermacare line. We have been standardizing Ayurvedic botanicals in Goa since 1963. The full ingredient list is printed on every product page, because a bar of soap has nowhere to hide and should not want one.
