Tariffs, Transparency, and That $7 Bar Soap

You’ve probably heard whispers about rising costs. Maybe it’s your groceries. Maybe it’s gas. But here’s one you probably didn’t expect: tariffs on skincare ingredients.

And not just any ingredients - the good ones. The ones your skin actually craves.

What’s Happening Behind the Bar

We use high-quality ingredients sourced from across the globe. Think:

• Shea butter from Ghana

• Mango butter from India

• Castor oil

• Sunflower oil

• Jojoba oil

• Glass packaging and wrapping materials

These aren’t luxury items. They’re the foundation of our bar soaps and body oils. And thanks to new tariffs, they now cost significantly more to bring in.

Not from China, by the way, these tariffs are hitting places like Ghana, India, and South Africa.
The places we proudly pull our ingredients from.

So… What Does That Mean for You?

Right now? Nothing.
Our bar soaps are still $7. Our body oils are still $25.

We’ve chosen to absorb the rising costs instead of passing them on… for now.

But if things keep trending upward, we may need to adjust slightly.

If and when that time comes, we’ll give you a heads-up. No pricing surprises. No shady markups. Just transparency - like always.

Here’s the Real Skin Win

• We’re not scaling back.

• We’re not cutting corners.

• We’re not switching to cheaper ingredients.

We’re staying true to what got us here: honest ingredients, handmade care, and skincare that feels as good as it looks.
