==============================

The soap that makes your shower feel like a spa day minus the awkward small talk.

Before cucumber water became the universal symbol of "fancy wellness," we were already putting cucumber and melon into soap. Not because it was trendy, but because it works. This combination just hits different—clean without being soapy, fresh without smelling like a cleaning product, sweet without going full fruit salad.

The secret weapon here is kaolin clay. While French green clay gets all the press, kaolin is the quiet achiever—gentle enough for daily use but still pulls its weight when it comes to balancing oily spots. It gives the bar this smooth, almost velvety texture that makes every lather feel a little more special. This is the bar for people who want that spa-clean feeling without the spa prices.

"Everyone asks why cucumber melon works so well. Honestly? It's just clean. Not trying to be exotic, not trying to be medicinal—just pure, simple, refreshing clean. The kaolin clay takes it from 'nice soap' to 'why does my skin look this good?' That's the magic."

Why You'll Love The Cucumber Melon & Clay

• That first sniff is instant refreshment—crisp cucumber, sweet melon, zero artificiality, just clean that makes sense
• Kaolin clay does the subtle heavy lifting, absorbing excess oil without that tight, stripped feeling other clays can cause
• Creates this dense, silky lather that feels more expensive than it is—thank the clay for that luxe texture
• Perfect for combination skin that can't decide what it wants to be—the clay balances while the oils moisturize

This Is Why We Do It

"All of Em'z Blendz soaps are lovely, we love trying out different concoctions, the cucumber melon soap is unique and refreshing!"

The Ritual

This bar loves water—get it properly wet and watch it transform into the silkiest lather you've ever felt. The clay makes it glide differently than our other bars, almost like it's polishing as it cleans. Work it over your skin and notice how it handles the oily spots without declaring war on the dry ones. The scent stays light and fresh, never overwhelming. Rinse and feel that particular kind of clean that makes you understand why people pay $200 for spa treatments. Except you just paid way less and did it yourself.

Key Ingredients

Cucumber Melon Fragrance

Our phthalate-free blend that nails the fresh-clean-sweet balance without going synthetic or overwhelming.

Kaolin Clay

The gentle clay that nobody talks about but everybody should—absorbs oil, refines texture, never strips or irritates.

Shea Butter

Balances the clay's oil-absorbing nature with moisture, because clean shouldn't mean dry.

Olive Oil

Our forever foundation—gentle, nourishing, and the reason even our "detox" bars don't leave you reaching for lotion.

Complete Your Ritual

Follow this refreshing clean with our Lemon Verbena Jojoba & Avocado Hand & Body Lotion—because cucumber melon and lemon verbena together is basically summer in a bottle, regardless of what month it actually is. Or just use this bar and call it good. Sometimes simple is exactly right.

Clean that actually feels clean—imagine that.
