Description
Eye of Horus Soap
I love all things ancient Egypt, which was the inspiration for these pyramid bars. To match the theme, I’ve used a deep, evocative scent blend of Amber Noir, Egyptian Musk, and creamy Double Vanilla & Sandalwood.
The earthy, two-toned effect isn't from added colourants; it’s a natural result of the fragrance oils curing, which gives the bars a consistent "sand and sunset" appearance. Because these are hand-cut without a dedicated guide, they have a bit of a rustic charm that shows they are truly handmade.
Scented with: Amber Noir, Egyptian Musk, Double Vanilla&Sandalwood
The colours are just discolourations made by the fragrances.
Weight is around 70g.
I still don't have a dedicated soap cutter for these soaps, so unfortunately some of them are a tad on the wobbly side...
Soap ingredients:
Saponified oils: (Tallow, Coconut, Olive, Rice Bran, Castor). Water, Glycerine*, Fragrance Oil, Citric Acid, Sugar
*) Please note that I don't put any extra glycerine into the soap - this is just the glycerine that is created naturally during the soap making process.

| Micas | are natural mineral-based pigments that are used to add colour and shimmer to soap. They come in various shades and are often used to create visually appealing and decorative patterns in soap bars. Micas are safe for use in cosmetics and soap because they do not contain synthetic dyes or harmful chemicals, making them a popular choice for adding vibrant and eye-catching. |
| Fragrance Oils | The fragrances we use come from reputable sources and are phthalate-free. (Phthalates are synthetic chemicals sometimes used in fragrances, and they have been linked to potential health concerns such as allergies, skin irritation, and even disruptions to hormonal balance.) |
