Lotamou Dark Patchouli Cold Process Soap

A dense, dark bar soap that grounds the wash with earthy Indonesian patchouli and a bright lift of sweet orange, made for quieter moments when the day has run too loud.

Lotamou’s Dark Patchouli is a cold-process bar inspired by the deep silence of the Highlands after rain. The scent opens with uplifting sweet orange, then settles into musky, velvety patchouli that feels steady and calm. The bar itself is dark charcoal grey, firm and substantial in the hand, and works up a rich, creamy grey lather that sits softly on the skin.

The formula is built on organic olive oil and organic coconut oil for lasting hydration, with avocado oil and cocoa butter for hardness and glide, plus organic sweet almond oil to keep the lather gentle even on sensitive skin. An 8% superfat leaves a portion of the oils unsaponified so the bar cleanses without stripping. Scent comes only from 100% natural essential oils, with no synthetic fragrance. Each bar is cured for weeks and arrives in a matte black box with a pale paper band.
