What is inside the bar?
Curcuma (Curcuma aromatica) is the characteristic golden-yellow root of Indian cuisine and Ayurveda. In this soap, curcuma root oil works together with clove, geranium and patchouli essential oils. The base is virgin, cold-pressed coconut oil that hydrates and preserves the skin's natural moisture.
Indian craftsmanship and the Kerala connection
Holy Lama Naturals soaps are crafted by hand in Kerala, South India. The brand follows fair trade principles: it provides livelihoods for local families, and less than 1% of waste is produced during manufacturing — what remains is used as fuel or animal feed. Plant-based raw materials are sourced from the region whenever possible.
The story of the palm leaf shell
The bar is held in an areca palm leaf shell that was soaked and pressed into the soap's shape. Every shell is unique: the natural veins, small spots and shade differences of the leaf show that you are receiving genuine handcrafted natural packaging. If you prefer a cleaner, gift-ready format, the same soap is also available in a cardboard box.
Scent and skin feel
The scent of the bar is meleg, fűszeres, and the feel is brightening, refreshing. The coconut oil base helps preserve the skin's natural moisture, while the lather cleanses gently without tightness or stripping. The vegan composition, no animal testing and fair trade principles turn the daily shower into a small ritual you can enjoy with a clean conscience.
How to use and care
Lather on damp skin or a wash mitt, massage gently onto the body and rinse with lukewarm water. Between uses, let the bar dry on a well-ventilated soap dish — this is how the bar lasts a long time. For sensitive skin it is worth testing on a small area first. Suitable for both face and body.
