Basilic - A gentle soap made with local oils

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.

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

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