Aloe Vera
Natural soap for irritated skin with aloe vera and young barley
Sun rays are a remedy for both body and mind, but sometimes their caress can be a bit harsher on the skin than one would like. That’s where our soap comes in, named and infused with the benefits of a plant that should be a staple in every natural medicine cabinet.
It contains moisturizing and regenerating oils including almond and apricot – both cold-pressed, and an infusion in sunflower oil of violet, plantain, chamomile, and calendula herbs, known for their soothing and gentle effects even on very sensitive skin. Added aloe vera and organic young barley are renowned for their antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Aloe vera also promotes skin regeneration and provides hydration.
The formulation is enhanced with 100% essential oils of ylang-ylang, lavender, and orange, which enhance the wonderful properties of the aforementioned ingredients and give the soap a lovely fragrance.
Tip: The Aloe Vera soap is not only an excellent aid after sunbathing but is also great for post-shaving care or for soothing other skin irritations.

Almond oil is extracted from the seeds of the common almond tree and is rich in minerals (potassium and calcium), oleic acid, and polyunsaturated omega 6 linoleic acid. Almond oil is one of the most valuable plant oils. It contains vitamins A, E, K, and sulfur. It is very light, absorbs quickly, does not clog pores, and its composition is very similar to that of human skin.

Young barley is a plant of the cultivated barley that we know from grain fields, but with the difference that for the production of dietary supplements, the green shoot measuring 20–25 cm in height is harvested. It contains the highest amount of biologically active substances and chlorophyll.

Description
Plantago lanceolata is a perennial herb that can grow up to 30 cm tall, found in meadows, grassy areas, field margins, wastelands, and along roadsides. You may also find it growing in the grass of your own garden. It has elongated, lanceolate leaves and small brownish flowers. In ancient manuscripts, it is referred to as the "mother of herbs." It contains mucilage, citric acid, silica, enzymes, tannins, vitamin C, bitter compounds, coumarins, potassium salts, zinc, and the glycoside aucubin (an anti-inflammatory agent). The parts typically harvested include the leaves, but also the roots, flowers, and seeds. Crushed plantain leaves were applied to wounds for faster healing, and from the plant, we can prepare tea, poultice, tincture, macerate, or syrup.
Flowering period: May - September.

Description
The pansy, also known as the three-colored violet (Viola tricolor), is an annual or perennial herb (types sometimes classified as a separate species Viola saxatilis) from the family Violaceae. It is part of the taxonomically complex Viola tricolor complex. In the Czech Republic, it is a relatively common species found in most areas. It occurs only rarely in the highest mountain regions. It is primarily a field weed. Taxa from the Viola saxatilis group can also be found in more or less natural habitats such as scree, rocks, sands, or mountain meadows.

Description
Aloe vera is a succulent plant native to Africa, which many of us successfully grow at home as a houseplant. Its leaves contain a gel rich in polysaccharides, enzymes, vitamins A, B, C, and E, minerals, trace elements, and amino acids. The gel also contains lignin, a substance that serves a hydrophobic function in plants and binds intercellular fibers. This organic compound ensures the penetration of active ingredients deep into the skin, thereby aiding in its rapid healing.
Leaf collection: throughout the year.

Our soaps are handcrafted using the traditional cold process method – by mixing high-quality plant oils with an alkaline component (sodium hydroxide mixed in distilled water).
The soap mixture is similar to pudding, which thickens over time or with stirring. We color the mixture and pour it into molds according to the design requirements of the soap, allowing it to set until the next day.
A chemical reaction occurs, resulting in the formation of salts of the respective oil (which is why you will find oils listed as "sodium -ate" in the ingredients – for example, olivate). Therefore, sodium hydroxide does not remain in the soap; it transforms into another chemical compound.
Once removed from the mold, the soap is cut and must be left to cure for several weeks – during this time, residual water evaporates, causing the soap to harden. It can only be sold after this period.
We use original raw materials for production, meaning no prefabricated intermediates. Only in this way can we guarantee high quality and complete transparency. You will not find soap flakes, foaming agents, preservatives, salt, soda, or synthetic glycerin in our soap.
Although it may surprise some, the beautiful colors and decorations of our natural soaps are truly provided by natural ingredients.
We take care to ensure that no two soaps are the same. We decorate the tops of the soaps and also add herbs inside, so that washing with them is enjoyable and you finally look forward to your bath and shower!
In our soaps, you will most often find:
- clays
- herbs
- herbal powders
- food ingredients (oats, cocoa, coffee, carrot puree, apple puree, etc.)
- functional ingredients such as Ayurvedic powders from various herbs, activated charcoal, aloe vera, ground young barley, etc.
We do not use any synthetic dyes, only the best from nature.
Yes, they contain it, but only the glycerin that occurs naturally as a byproduct of the saponification process, and we do not artificially add it to the soap.
Glycerin is commonly added to products due to its ability to moisturize the skin. Always inquire about its origin. It can be plant-based (oils), synthetic (petroleum), or animal-based (fats).
High-quality natural soap is the best choice for several reasons:
- Liquid soaps contain foaming agents, preservatives, and other unnecessary synthetic ingredients that are not essential for cleansing.
- Thanks to its pure composition, solid soap does not strip the skin of its protective barrier and does not unnecessarily irritate it. Our soaps do not dry out the skin.
- From an ecological standpoint, solid soap is a great zero-waste option.
- Solid soap won't spill anywhere and is an excellent travel companion.
All our soaps are vegan. You can always find this information listed for each product.
Soap belongs to so-called amphiphilic substances, which have both lipophilic and hydrophilic properties. Therefore, soap contains molecules of dual nature. Hydrophilic molecules are attracted to water but repelled by fats and proteins, while lipophilic molecules do exactly the opposite – they repel water and bind to oils and impurities on the skin. Dirt gets trapped in the soap lather and is washed away along with the soap from the skin.
