Because color is displayed differently on various devices, the soap you order could be different from what you’re viewing on your phone, laptop, or monitor. This is a common occurrence with online shopping; it has to do with display resolution, number of pixels and bit depth.

5% Super Fat
Super Fat: to use a small excess of ‘free’ fatty acids in a recipe that are deliberately NOT converted to soap. Instead, these tiny oil molecules remain within the soap matrix and are then transferred to your skin when washing. This is not to say that your skin will feel oily because only a minuscule percentage is used.

This fragrance oil is a sweet, fruity floral aroma composed of tropical plumeria flowers, and fresh fruity top notes, on a lovely green bottom.
I guess you could call this another mad scientist soap: a dash of this, a pinch of that, and an eye of toad… just kidding!
The ingredient list might seem long—ground oatmeal, two types of clays, buttermilk, apple cider vinegar, and even cruelty-free silk—but rest assured, this is a far cry from the fillers found in commercial soaps.
The design is simple yet elegant. I created a lye solution using fresh cucumber juice, then divided the batch into two containers. A small portion of the batter was blended with Moroccan red clay, while the rest remained a creamy, natural shade. After pouring the base into the mold, I topped it with the red clay batter for contrast.
Scented with Plumeria fragrance oil, this soap carries a beautifully intoxicating floral aroma. Since plumeria is found in the Caribbean and other tropical regions, I considered naming this soap Caribbean Cucumber (or CC for short). Instead, I settled on Cucumber & Milk to highlight the buttermilk content.
In Hawaiian culture, the plumeria symbolizes love, beauty, grace, and the spirit of Aloha, which embodies

love, kindness, and respect. The flower’s five petals also represent love, faith, charity, hope, and devotion—a fitting sentiment for a soap made with care and intention.
