How do the
ingredients work?
Inside our turmeric soap and kojic acid soap formula.
A more even-looking tone
Turmeric + Kojic Acid
Kojic acid is used in brightening skincare for a more even-looking tone. Our Turmeric formula pairs it with turmeric root powder in a rinse-off cleansing bar.
Botanical care
Liquorice Root + Aloe Vera
Liquorice root extract and aloe vera are part of this botanical blend. Look for Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract in the full ingredient list.
Moisture-attracting care
Sea Moss + Glycerin
Glycerin is a humectant: it attracts moisture. Sea moss appears as Chondrus Crispus Extract in our turmeric soap’s ingredient list. Follow cleansing with your usual moisturiser.
Skin-softening ingredients
Shea + Cocoa Butter
Shea butter and cocoa butter are used in skincare to soften and smooth skin. They complement the cleansing base of our full-size face-and-body bar.

Your soap questions,
answered
Is this turmeric soap or kojic acid soap?
The Turmeric option is our Turmeric + Kojic Acid Sea Moss Soap. It combines turmeric and kojic acid in one cleansing bar, alongside liquorice root, sea moss and other ingredients. Select Turmeric above to choose this formula.
How is the Goat Milk & Oats option different?
Goat Milk & Oats is a separate formula. Its ingredient list includes goat milk, shea butter, oats, coconut oil, almond oil, honey, sea moss, glycerine and essential oil. It is not the turmeric and kojic acid soap. Check the formula name when choosing your bar.
What is in the turmeric and kojic acid formula?
Key ingredients include turmeric, kojic acid, liquorice root, sea moss, aloe vera, shea butter and cocoa butter. The full list also includes the cleansing base and other ingredients, so always check the complete formula if you are avoiding a particular ingredient.
How do I use my soap?
Wet the bar and lather it between your hands. Gently massage the lather over wet skin. You must leave the lather on for 2 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Avoid the eye area and follow with a moisturiser. You must apply broad-spectrum SPF afterwards.
How long before I notice a difference?
Results and timing vary. Check how your skin feels, follow the use directions and give your routine a comfortable place in your day.
Can I use it on my face and body?
Both formulas are sold as face and body cleansing bars. Use a gentle lather, rinse thoroughly and avoid the eye area. Patch test before first use, whichever formula you choose.
What if my skin is sensitive?
Check the full ingredients for your selected formula and patch test before first use. A formula that suits someone else may not suit you. Stop using the soap if irritation occurs.
The formulas are different: Goat Milk & Oats contains almond oil and goat milk; the turmeric formula has its own complete ingredient list.
Should I leave the lather on my skin?
Yes. You must leave the lather on for 2 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Follow with a moisturiser. You must apply broad-spectrum SPF afterwards.
How big is the bar, and how should I store it?
Each full-size bar is 150g. Let it drain and dry between uses, away from standing water. How long it lasts depends on how often you use it and whether you use it on your face, body or both.
What should I use after cleansing?
Follow with a moisturiser, such as Sea Essence Body Butter. If you are still choosing your formula, our turmeric soap and kojic acid comparison explains the terms, and our UK turmeric soap buying guide covers what to check.
