The wake-up call your morning face wash was missing.

What it is
The morning member of our heritage castile soap family: the same gentle extra virgin olive oil base, charged with rejuvenating rosemary, cool peppermint, and kudzu root, the famous Southern vine with a gift for evening out the look of skin. A facial soap first, brisk enough to replace your alarm's snooze button, and happy to cover body and shampoo duty too.

Who it's for
Dull, sleepy, slow-to-wake skin, and the people wearing it. If your complexion looks flat in the morning mirror, or runs a little oily and uneven through the day, this is the bar that gets everyone moving.

Why this works, concern by concern
Morning skin needs a reset: circulation, freshness, and tone. Each of the three namesakes handles one.

To Wake Up Skin

The problem: skin looks flat and tired first thing in the morning.

  • Rosemary rejuvenates and revives a dull, sleepy complexion with every wash.
To Refresh and Balance

The problem: oily zones and dull texture by mid-afternoon.

  • Peppermint refreshes dull skin with a clean, cool tingle and helps balance the texture of oilier skin.
And to Even Tone

The problem: redness and uneven tone keep skin from looking rested.

  • Kudzu Root Extract, from the vine the South knows so well, helps even the look of redness and tone.
  • Magnesium Bentonite Clay, the mineral in Mineral Castile, gently draws out impurities as you wash while its magnesium and trace minerals condition and soften skin.

What it's like to use
Sweep the wet bar between your hands and wash; the rosemary-mint scent and the peppermint coolness do for your face what the first cup of coffee does for the rest of you. Gentle enough for morning and night, and low-sudsing by design: castile cleans without the foaming detergents that strip, so less suds, cleaner skin. The creamy glide even doubles as shave cream. Store it on a cedar soap deck between uses to keep it dry and long-lasting.

Questions, answered

How strong is the mint? Will it sting?
It is a wake-up, not a shock: a clean, cool tingle that fades as you rinse. The olive oil castile base keeps the whole experience gentle, even around the eyes' general neighborhood (though, as with any mint, keep the suds out of your eyes).
What is kudzu doing in a soap?
Kudzu is the legendarily unstoppable Southern vine, and its root extract has a long tradition in skincare for helping even the look of redness and tone. We figured anything that determined should be put to work.
How do I pick a scent?
This is the morning wake-up bar. Original is the pure unscented choice for the most sensitive skin, Citrus and Turmeric is the brightening bar, and Lavender, Tea Tree and Neem is the clarifying bar for blemish-prone skin.
How long does one bar last?
Used on the face alone, a bar typically lasts three months or more, roughly $6 a month for a face wash, a shave cream, and a wake-up call in one. A Cedar Soap Deck ($9) keeps it dry between uses so it lasts its longest.
