Crate 61 Organics plant-based cold-process bar soap, Pack of 6 — Handmade in Canada, moisturizing for dry skin

Crate 61 Organics cold-process bar soap is a handmade, plant-based cleansing bar scented with premium essential oils, crafted to gently cleanse and nourish dry skin without synthetic additives.

These six artisanal bars are produced in Canada using the traditional cold-process technique and only plant-derived ingredients. Each soap combines olive, coconut, shea, avocado and castor oils with kaolin clay and botanical tints for a gentle lather and a moisturizing finish. The collection is naturally fragranced with essential oils and packaged in FSC-certified paperboard to support lower environmental impact.

What makes this soap a good choice for dry skin?

The formulation emphasizes conditioning oils and clay rather than harsh detergents, helping to cleanse without stripping natural oils. Shea and avocado oils offer emollient fatty acids, while olive oil provides a mild, stable base that supports longer-lasting bars. Kaolin clay adds a soft, cleansing texture that can help remove impurities while leaving skin feeling smoother.

• Blend of olive, coconut, shea, avocado and castor oils for conditioning
• Kaolin clay for gentle cleansing and soft texture
• No sulfates, parabens or synthetic detergents that can dry skin

How are these soaps scented and colored?

Fragrances come from pure essential oils and select natural aromatic extracts rather than synthetic perfumes. Botanical extracts and mineral clays are used to create subtle, natural hues, so each bar’s color reflects its ingredients. This approach keeps scents and tones derived from plants and minimizes artificial components.

• Essential-oil blends for fragrance
• Botanical extracts and clays for natural tinting
• No artificial dyes, micas, or oxides included

Are these soaps eco-friendly and how are they packaged?

Sustainability is built into the product and packaging choices: ingredients are plant-based, and bars are wrapped in FSC-certified paperboard that’s designed to be recyclable. The makers prioritize responsible sourcing to reduce environmental impact across ingredients and packaging. The compact, paper-wrapped bars limit plastic use and simplify disposal.

• FSC-certified, recyclable paperboard packaging
• Plant-derived ingredients with responsible sourcing focus
• No plastic primary packaging to reduce waste

How should I use and store these handmade bars for best results?

Use the soap as you would any bar soap: lather with water directly on skin or with a washcloth, then rinse. To prolong bar life, store it on a well-draining soap dish or rack so it can dry between uses. Keep bars out of prolonged direct sun and extreme heat to preserve scent and texture.

• Lather on wet skin or with a cloth, rinse thoroughly
• Store on a draining soap dish to extend lifespan
• Keep in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight
