Key ingredients
Coconut oil and olive oil create a firm, long-lasting bar with a soft, creamy lather. Red clay (Illite) adds a silky texture and gentle cleansing properties.
A blend of ylang ylang, lemongrass and rose geranium essential oils gives Red Clay its softly floral, uplifting scent with a fresh, green edge.

No. The colour comes from natural clay rather than synthetic dyes, keeping the bar in line with our botanical, naturally coloured soap range.
