What makes it special
The lather smells like the moment you brush past a tomato plant — green, sharp, and a little bitter, with lemongrass and verbena cutting through.
Seven botanical exfoliants give this bar its grit: walnut powder, ground coffee, poppy seeds, pumice, jojoba beads, hemp, and chlorella, suspended in a thoughtful blend of saponified oils with creamy coconut milk. This is our hardest-working bar — built for hands that have been in the dirt, at the sink, or under the hood. Green, gritty, and carefully cured, it delivers a firmly textured wash with a clean, herbal finish.
Note: Contains tree nuts (walnut powder).
Scent & texture
Scent: Tomato leaf leads, sharp and green, with lemongrass and verbena adding a bright citrus-herbal edge.
Texture: Firmly exfoliating — walnut powder, pumice, ground coffee, and poppy seeds give the bar a coarse, working scrub, with jojoba beads, hemp, and chlorella adding speckled color and texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a bar of soap last?
With proper care and draining between uses, a bar typically lasts 2–3 weeks with daily use. Letting it dry fully on a soap dish between showers helps it last longer.
Is this soap safe for sensitive skin?
Our soaps are made with high-quality oils and are free of harsh detergents. However, every person's skin is different. If you have specific sensitivities, we recommend reviewing the full ingredients list and doing a patch test before regular use.
What is cold-process soap?
Cold-process soap is made by combining oils and sodium hydroxide (lye) at low temperatures, then allowing the bars to cure for several weeks. This method preserves the natural properties of the oils and produces a long-lasting, gentle bar.
Do you offer free samples?
Yes — every order includes a free soap sample so you can discover new scents and textures.
