Beach at Sunset

Beach at Sunset

$12 USD Cold process Cured 4+ weeks Naples, FL

A poured landscape: sky, sea and sand, with a glycerin sun.

Contains animal fat This bar contains lard, which is rendered pork fat. We say so in case you avoid pork for religious or personal reasons.

The most elaborate bar in the range: a whole beach in one bar. Sky in white, pink and salmon, sea in three blues, a band of sand textured with ground 100% Colombian coffee, and a sun of clear glycerin soap. The layers run through the bar, so the picture is still there as it wears down.

Every bar cures for four weeks, so batches are small and counted.

Notes on the bar

Keep it on a draining dish. A cold-process bar left sitting in water softens and will not last the way it should. The layers run through the whole bar, so the picture keeps changing as you use it.

Scent

Bali breeze

Pineapple and coconut over bergamot, lemon and orange. It settles into something warmer and more marine.

Texture

A poured landscape

Sky, sea and sand run through the whole bar, with a sun of clear glycerin soap and a band of sand made with ground 100% Colombian coffee. The most involved bar Diana makes.

The base

Olive, cocoa butter and lard

Lard makes it firm enough to hold the layers without slumping. Contains lard.

Origin

Cured in Naples, Florida

Cold process, small batch, cured a minimum of four weeks before it leaves the workshop.

How this batch is made

Process

Every part of this beach is soap. The sun is a piece of clear glycerin soap set into the bar, the sand is textured with ground 100% Colombian coffee, and the sky and sea take their colour from mineral pigments. Nothing on it is a decoration that washes away.
