What they’re saying

“As someone with sensitive, perpetually dry skin, the Manuka honey is a total game-changer. It's backed by calendula to moisturize, shea butter to protect your skin barrier, and hemp, which delivers vitamins C and E to help even out your complexion.”

— Leon Hedgepeth (GQ)

“When I first cracked open this soap—black sage, charcoal, and a hit of lavender—it smelled like something a massage therapist would casually reach for before telling you to 'take a deep breath.' Equal parts invigorating and calming.”

— Leon Hedgepeth (GQ)

“Of course, you can use this in the shower, but with a fragrance this decadent, it practically demands a candle-lit bath.”
