grounding | restorative | elemental
crafted with pine, cypress, cedarwood, and a touch of spice for vibrancy, this bar captures the quiet strength of the forest. french green clay offers a gentle slip while keeping the formula balanced and the suds strong.
the forest bathing story /
this recipe was inspired by the japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, as a reminder of the therapeutic power of nature. a deeply woody and resinous aroma recalls the silent support and enduring wisdom of the land and the forests that always offer steady roots beneath our feet. a light layer of dried botanicals is reminiscent of the earthy crunch found wandering along a wooded path, helping to make any lather of this bar a grounding, multi-sensory experience.
care & use /
lather between hands or directly on skin. for best results, always allow soap block dry between uses, and never leave sitting in water.
for external use only

about our soaps /
apothecary verde soaps are crafted through the cold-process method, a practice that honors tradition, ritual, and slow living. this process blends sodium hydroxide and pure water with a base of nourishing oils and butters, initiating the chemistry of soapmaking. each apothecary verde soap batch is hand-poured using only natural plant oils, clays, and botanicals, then left to rest and cure for 4–8 weeks. the result is a dense, long-lasting, hand-cut bar that lathers richly without stripping moisture — a local favorite since 2009.
we use organic ingredients whenever possible, maintaining a commitment to our conscious community while keeping our prices steady and accessible.
