Pure Primal Skin Face & Bath Bar Properties:
Bio-degradable
Eco-friendly
Non-chemical
Fragrance and glycerin free
Skin-loving – contributes to the natural lipid layer of the skin
All the Pure Primal Skin soaps are hand poured and cut, then cured for 4-5 weeks, before being individually packaged.
Being naturally cured and non-glycerin soaps, they will lose moisture over time.
This means they will weigh less than the initially weight (120-130g / 140-150g / or weight as indicated) as they ‘age’/cure further.
There is a benefit to this!
These soaps will last longer while using than soaps that are freshly cured (or contain glycerin, which prevents moisture loss).
These soaps have stood the test of time over the years and the recipes hardly changed during this time.
Our products might change slightly depending on the season, read here why.
