You only ever see the finished bar… 🌿

But before our Kawakawa & Lavender Soap becomes those individual little bars, it starts out like this.

One big batch, handmade by Kara, then cut down lengthways before each bar gets its final cut.

Made with Kawakawa-infused olive oil, cocoa and shea butter, sweet almond oil and lavender, this one smells every bit as good as it looks 💜

And yes… the cutting is ridiculously satisfying to watch 👀
