Lemon Products

Lemon products bring the brightest note in the botanical world into your daily wash. Citrus has a way of making a bathroom feel cleaner the moment you open the wrapper, and our Lemon, Pear and Berry Herbal Soap puts that freshness into a handmade bar, lemon leading, with soft pear and berry rounding out the sharpness.

Why Lemon in Soap?

The lemon, Citrus limon, is a small evergreen tree grown across the Mediterranean, South Asia and the Americas. Its fruit is one of the most recognizable scents there is, sharp, sweet and unmistakably clean, which is exactly why lemon has been a fixture of soap making for as long as soap has been perfumed. The aroma sits in the peel rather than the juice, in tiny oil glands you can smell the moment a lemon is zested.

In a handmade bar, lemon does two jobs. It carries the scent, giving the lather that immediate lift, and it sets the character of the whole bar, brisk and morning-ish rather than soft and floral. Paired here with pear and berry, the effect is less like a cleaning product and more like fresh fruit: the pear adds a rounded sweetness and the berry a little depth, so the lemon reads bright rather than sour.

Lemon at a Glance

• Botanical name: Citrus limon, a small evergreen citrus tree
• The scent lives in the peel: aromatic oil glands in the rind, not the juice
• A soap-making classic: citrus has scented soaps for centuries
• Naturally bright and uplifting: the reason lemon reads as "clean" to almost everyone
• Pairs beautifully with fruit: pear and berry soften lemon's sharp edge

Lemon, Pear and Berry Herbal Soap

Our Lemon, Pear and Berry Herbal Soap is a handmade bar built around that three-fruit blend. It works up a generous lather that rinses clean without leaving skin tight, and the scent stays fresh rather than sugary, fruit, not candy. It suits a morning shower particularly well, when you want something that wakes you up, and it makes an easy hand soap for the kitchen sink where a citrus note is always welcome. Because it is made in small batches, each bar is cut and cured by hand, so no two are quite identical.

How to Use Lemon Soap

1. Lather on damp skin. Wet the bar and work it between your hands, or onto a damp washcloth, until the lather turns thick and creamy.
2. Work it over the body. Massage in circles, paying a little extra attention to elbows, knees and heels where skin is thickest.
3. Rinse well, then pat dry. Rinse with warm water and pat rather than rub, leaving skin slightly damp.
4. Moisturize while damp. Apply oil, butter or lotion within a minute of stepping out, damp skin holds moisture far better than dry.
5. Let the bar dry between uses. Handmade soap holds more moisture than mass-produced bars, so it softens quickly if it sits in water. Keep it on a draining dish, out of the direct spray.
