A sun-kissed boost of citrus and spice to brighten your skin and your day.

We believe in the joyful power of balance. This sun-kissed bar brings together the ancient, grounding wisdom of the earth with the fresh energy of citrus. We infuse our gentle olive oil base with golden turmeric root powder and calming calendula, then add a zesty, uplifting blend of pure citrus and spice essential oils.

The result is a creamy, bubbly lather that leaves your skin feeling soft, balanced, and genuinely brightened. Earthy roots meet bright rinds. Serious skincare that feels like pure sunshine.

"I love the duality of this bar. You get the earthy, anti-inflammatory power of turmeric and ginger, these ancient grounding roots, and then you brighten it all with that zesty, joyful burst of grapefruit and lemongrass. It's a perfect representation of what we do: serious skincare that feels like pure sunshine."

— Emily Whitlock, Co-Founder & Formulator

The Ritual

This is a morning bar. Lather it up and let the citrus and spice hit your senses while the turmeric gets to work on your skin. The kaolin clay makes the lather silkier than you'd expect. Inhale deeply: that's grapefruit and lemongrass cutting through the fog while ginger and cinnamon ground you. Rinse clean and notice how your skin feels soft, balanced, and ready. This is how you start a day with intention.

Key Ingredients

Turmeric & Calendula: This golden duo of botanical powerhouses is known for calming inflammation, soothing irritation, and promoting a bright, healthy glow.
Citrus & Spice Oil Blend: Pure essential oils of pink grapefruit, ginger, lemongrass, and cinnamon provide a warm, zesty, naturally uplifting aroma.
Kaolin Clay: A gentle cosmetic clay that adds silky slip to the lather while helping to clarify and balance the skin.
Olive Oil: The heart of our gentle soap. This foundational oil ensures a non-drying, deeply nourishing clean.

Complete Your Ritual

For a complete morning glow ritual, follow with our Lemon Verbena Hand & Body Lotion and the Age Well Facial Cleansing Bar. For skin that needs extra soothing, alternate with the Honey Calendula Soap Bar as a targeted treatment.

From our hands to your skin: enjoy the glow.

INGREDIENTS

saponified oils of olive, coconut, certified sustainable palm, cocoa butter, shea butter, kaolin clay, curcuma longa (turmeric) root powder, calendula, blend of pure essential oils including: pink grapefruit, fresh ginger, lemongrass, and cinnamon.

Is it more spicy or citrusy? Both, in balance. The grapefruit and lemongrass hit first with bright, zesty energy. Then the ginger and cinnamon warm things up underneath. It's not a one-note scent. The citrus wakes you up; the spice grounds you. Customers describe it as "sunshine and spice," which is pretty accurate.

What does turmeric actually do for skin? Turmeric has been used for centuries for its anti-inflammatory and brightening properties. It helps calm redness, even out skin tone, and promote a healthy glow. Combined with calendula (another inflammation-fighter) and kaolin clay, this bar is designed to clarify and balance without irritating. It's serious skincare disguised as a beautiful golden soap.

Is this suitable for sensitive skin? Yes. Despite the active botanicals, we built this bar to be gentle. The kaolin clay is the mildest cosmetic clay available, and our superfatted formula ensures the bar moisturizes while it clarifies. That said, if you've had reactions to turmeric or citrus oils before, patch test first. The brightening power is real, but so is the gentleness.
