A uniquely desert-inspired body bar featuring the curative and healing desert chaparral, sustainably wild-crafted in and around the vibrant Sonoran Desert. Long celebrated for its skin-soothing and restorative qualities, chaparral carries the unmistakable, grounding aroma of the desert after rainfall—fresh, earthy, and quietly intoxicating.
The chaparral in this bar is hand-harvested, dried, and sifted by me in Arizona, then gently sun-infused for a minimum of six weeks in non-GMO, cold-pressed grape seed oil, slowly extracting both its nourishing properties and subtle desert scent.
Thoughtfully formulated using raw, unrefined shea butter, organic extra virgin olive oil, unrefined coconut oil, jojoba oil, and non-GMO avocado oil, this cold-process soap produces a rich, conditioning lather that cleanses without stripping. A textured layer of chaparral-powder-infused soap adds exfoliation for renewed, smooth skin.
Delicately scented. Refreshing. Rare. A true homage to the Sonoran Desert—crafted for those who cherish nature in its most honest and elemental form. The Desert Chaparral Soap Bar - enjoy!
