1PLANT OILS & BUTTERS
Coconut Oil, Sunflower Oil, Jojoba Oil, Shea Butter, Watermelon Seed Oil, Sesame Oil infused with Tesu Flowers
Cold-pressed seed, nut and fruit oils plus unrefined butters.
Think of the malai your family stirred into a home-made ubtan; that is where this bar begins. Milk malai soap is meant for dry, dull skin, particularly through north Indian winters when everything feels papery. Fresh malai brings milk fats and lactic acid that soften and gently smooth, and the sesame oil is infused with tesu, or palash, flowers long used in traditional Indian skin rituals.
Its warm, earthy scent comes from patchouli essential oil, and the colour is from the tesu infusion rather than any dye. Cold processing keeps the natural glycerin that industrial makers extract out. Shea butter and watermelon seed oil balance the richness, so skin feels cushioned instead of coated.
Which soap is best for very dry skin in winter? A creamy, cold-processed bar that leaves milk fats and glycerin behind, like this one, rather than a foaming detergent bar. Use lukewarm water, keep baths short, and moisturise within a few minutes while skin is still damp. Store the bar on a draining dish so it lasts.
Fresh malai and tesu-infused sesame oil in one deeply softening cold-processed bar.

Dry, dull or winter-stressed skin gets the most from it. Oily skin can still use it on the body, and anyone prone to reactions should patch test first.

Wet your skin, rub the bar into a creamy lather, massage over the body and rinse well, once a day. Keep the bar on a draining dish so it lasts.
Tesu, also called palash, is a flower long used in traditional Indian skin rituals; we infuse it into sesame oil, and that gives the bar its warm tint. There are no coal-tar colours or synthetic fragrance; the scent is patchouli essential oil.
