What This Bar Does
If Milk & Honey is for skin that reacts easily, First Light is for skin that's already reacting. Redness, itching, tightness after washing, seasonal flare-ups — this is the bar that's built for those stretches.
Calendula-infused avocado oil is traditionally used in skincare for stressed or irritated skin. It doesn't act like a medication, but many people find that washing with calendula-based products makes the cleansing step feel less disruptive — less friction, less post-wash tightness. Colloidal oatmeal reduces irritation and softens the lather. Kaolin and Brazilian clays improve glide without adding harshness.
The essential oil blend is herbal and slightly woodsy — vetiver, patchouli, cedarwood, and marjoram. Noticeable during washing and fades after rinsing.
Key Ingredients
Saponified 100% extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, calendula-infused avocado oil, castor oil, shea butter, sodium lactate, colloidal oatmeal, kaolin clay, Brazilian clay, dried calendula, essential oils of sweet marjoram, cedarwood, laurel leaf, vetiver, clary sage, and patchouli
How To Use
Lather in hands first, then apply lather to skin — avoid scrubbing directly with the bar. Rinse with lukewarm water. Apply moisturizer while skin is still damp. Store on a draining soap dish.

Care Instructions
Soap Bars/Mini Soaps:
After each wash, place the soap on a well-draining soap dish that allows air to circulate around it. This will help the bar dry out and maintain its firmness, allowing you to enjoy it for a longer period. Avoid letting your soap sit in pooled water, as this can cause it to break down faster and diminish its lifespan.
Clay Face Masks:
To use: Mix 1–2 teaspoons of powder with water to form a smooth paste. Apply to clean face, avoiding eye area. Leave on for 5–10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with warm water.
Natural Bath Soaks:
To use: Add 2–3 tablespoons to a warm bath. Breathe in deeply. Let the minty recharge begin.
Caution
Do not ingest, avoid contact with eyes, discontinue use if irritation occurs. Consult a doctor before use if you are pregnant. Do not purchase if there is a known allergy to any of the ingredients. Keep all products containing dried botanicals out of reach of small children.
