Use daily as part of your natural skincare routine for face. For best results, follow with a moisturiser whilst skin is still slightly damp.

ORIGIN AND SOURCING

Our papaya soap is handmade in small batches at Sheabutter Cottage in the UK and cured for a minimum of six weeks to create a gentle and long lasting bar. The unrefined shea butter is sourced directly from JilimaCoop, a women’s cooperative in Ghana that we built and continue to support through our sourcing, helping to sustain traditional shea butter production and fair livelihoods. We carefully select premium natural ingredients including organic lemon, papaya and turmeric for their skin loving qualities. The soap is made with sustainably sourced unrefined and fair trade palm kernel oil. .
