🧼 ABOUT THE SOAP
Fresh, herbal and deeply cleansing, this bestselling handmade facial soap combines activated charcoal and nourishing tamanu oil with tea tree, peppermint and eucalyptus essential oils.
Created specifically with dry skin in mind, this bar has the highest free-oil content of any soap in our collection. This carefully balanced formulation allows the activated charcoal to provide a fresh, thorough cleanse while the additional conditioning oils help leave skin feeling soft, comfortable and hydrated rather than tight or stripped.
Tea tree, peppermint and eucalyptus essential oils give the bar its distinctive clean, herbal and minty fragrance, with a gently cooling and refreshing feel.
Suitable for cleansing both the face and body as part of a simple, low-waste skincare routine.
Weight: Approx. 100g
🌿 KEY INGREDIENTS
Activated Charcoal – Helps absorb excess surface oil and everyday build-up while giving the soap its distinctive deep-black appearance.
Tamanu Oil – A rich, conditioning plant oil that contributes to the bar’s nourishing feel and helps leave skin feeling soft and comfortable after cleansing.
Tea Tree Essential Oil – Provides the fresh, distinctive herbal note at the heart of the fragrance.
Peppermint Essential Oil – Adds a crisp, cooling mint note to the essential-oil blend.
Eucalyptus Essential Oil – Complements the tea tree and peppermint with a clean, fresh and uplifting aroma.
✨ WHY IT’S DIFFERENT
This soap has the highest free-oil content of any bar in our collection.
The additional free oils balance the deep-cleansing feel of activated charcoal, creating a facial soap that cleanses thoroughly while helping dry skin retain a soft, comfortable and hydrated feel.
It is a particularly good choice for anyone who enjoys charcoal soap but finds that conventional charcoal bars can leave their skin feeling too tight or dry.
🧼 SUITABLE FOR
• Dry or dry-feeling skin
• Combination skin with dry areas
• Those who find traditional charcoal soaps too drying
• Those who prefer a thorough cleanse without a tight after-feel
• Face and body cleansing
• Fans of fresh, herbal and minty fragrances
• Travel-friendly, low-waste skincare routines
💧 HOW TO USE
Wet the soap and work it into a lather between your hands or onto a damp face cloth. Massage the lather gently over damp skin, avoiding the eye area, before rinsing thoroughly.
For a longer-lasting bar, allow it to dry between uses on a well-drained soap dish.
For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

I buy this on repeat for my skin (48 yr old woman) and my teenagers. really good quality soap that keeps our skin clear and soft.
This is fab! It feels more moisturising than the charcoal soap I had been using. I did love that one, which I got a market on holiday but when it ran out, I wanted to search for a more moisturising charcoal soap and this one does not disappoint! It's gentle but gives pores/blackheads a great clean at the same time. It arrived really quickly too.
Always love receiving a new bar of thistle soap ☺️ Highly recommend. Have been using them for years now.
Really great soap as always. Keep my skin clean and clear from breakouts
100% recommend, everything was perfect
