The Kraken - Bergamot, Suede & Sea Signature Soap

The Kraken is a unique soap inspired by the legendary Scandinavian sea monster. The aroma of this bergamot natural soap evokes the fresh scent of a ship at sea: the salt in the air, wooden timbers that creak with the motion of the waves, and the hold full of exotic fruits and fragrant black tea.

The Lore

"Below the thunders of the upper deep,
Far, far beneath in the abysmal sea,
His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep
The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee..."
—Alfred Tennyson

The Lather

This is a natural, food-based soap handmade with a combination of high-quality ingredients. These include olive oil, coconut oil, castor seed oil, activated charcoal, phthalate-free fragrance oil, and essential oil. Swirls of blue, black, and green, created using ethically sourced micas, simulate crashing waves and boundless seas. Meanwhile, a dusting of blue eco-glitter on each bar shimmers like sunlight on fresh sea foam.

• Olive oil's gentle cleansing properties help to remove dirt and impurities, and above all results in clean, glowing skin without stripping it of its natural oils.
• Coconut oil is added to provide a rich lather and moisturizing properties that leave the skin feeling soft and supple.
• Bergamot is a citrus fruit with a slightly spicy and sweet aroma, used in aromatheraphy for its uplifting and calming properties. 
• Activated charcoal, visible in the soap's rich black swirls, absorbs impurities and excess oil from the skin.
• Teakwood is a symbol of longevity, endurance, and the ability to weather all conditions, and its scent will undoubtedly prepare you for whatever journey lies ahead, by sea or land.

Made in small batches. Every batch varies in appearance, but each bar is approximately 5.5 oz. Our soaps last the average person 4-8 weeks, depending on use and storage.
