Basilic - A gentle soap made with local oils

Joining the ranks

Basilic is the new member joining the gang of Slowhug soaps (after being in beta for over an year). Formulated to be a gentle soap with generous creamy lather, it keeps skin moist after a good wash. Besides, it is a hard, all season bar that can weather rainy days and humid climates.

Basilic is a double butter soap made with local oils & butters. It has a fusion of Basil & Palmarosa essential oils that exhibit anti inflammatory, anti microbial and anti fungal properties for the skin. They lend this soap a sweet scent, with a deep basilic heart and hints of rose. Aromas of this soap have a calming effect on the mind.

Ingredients

In Basilic, we have been able to shift to a higher percentage of non edible oils & butters with immense skin benefits. It is made with the following ingredients:

  1. Kokum butter
  2. Mowrah butter
  3. Castor oil
  4. Coconut oil
  5. Karanja oil
  6. Basil essential oil
  7. Palmarosa essential oil
  8. Lye & Water

P.s.

We consider Basilic a step forward in localisation, and in reducing the use of edible oils in wash away products.
