Description

A bar of Merlot Soap that does what commercial soap won't: leave your skin softer than before you washed. Made with shea butter and cocoa butter.

Merlot handmade soap luxurious scent. What you won't find inside: parabens, phthalates, sulfates, or any of the filler ingredients that make commercial products cheap to produce and hard on your skin.

The base is built on cocoa butter and coconut oil — ingredients that actually moisturize instead of just sitting on top. Simple formula, no filler, the kind of ingredient list you can read without a chemistry degree.

The cold-process method preserves natural glycerin — that's why your skin feels moisturized after, not stripped. With proper care, expect it to last 4–6 weeks.

Scent-wise: beer, fruity and wine. Scented with phthalate-free fragrance — present while you're using it, then settles into something soft and clean.

Handcrafted in Monroe, Georgia since 2003. Rinse products are naturally derived, cruelty-free, and made in small batches — because cutting corners isn't really our thing.

Ingredients

Saponified Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Olive Oil, Refined Sweet Almond Oil, High Oleic Sunflower Oil, Coconut Oil, Responsibly Sourced Palm Kernel Oil, Blueberry Seeds, Oxide, Fragrance.

How to Use

Wet your hands, body, or face, then rub the bar in gentle circular motions to build a lather. Massage into skin and rinse thoroughly with warm water. For exfoliating bars, use the loofah side in circular motions to gently buff skin. Store on a well-drained soap dish between uses to extend bar life.

Why we love it...

Every bar starts with the same cold-process method Heather learned in 2002 — slow-cured for weeks so the oils have time to saponify naturally. No shortcuts, no detergents, no synthetic hardeners. Just real soap that lathers rich and leaves your skin feeling like skin, not plastic wrap.

We obsess over the lather. That thick, creamy foam you get from a Rinse bar isn't an accident — it's the result of carefully balancing coconut oil for bubbles, olive oil for conditioning, and shea butter for richness. Most commercial soaps strip your skin's natural oils. Ours work with them.

This one brings real craft beer to the experience — because your shower should be something you look forward to, not just something you get through.

EVERY SCENT TELLS A STORY

Meet The Family

The Beer family is exactly what it sounds like — real craft beer ingredients in handmade soap. Hops, malt, and the natural sugars in beer create an incredibly rich, creamy lather that's genuinely great for your skin. These aren't gimmick soaps. The beer adds real benefits. The fact that they're fun to gift is just a bonus.

FROM THE WORKSHOP

Tips & Tricks

Store your bar on a well-drained soap dish between uses — keeping it dry between showers extends its life significantly. For the richest lather, work the bar between wet hands for 10-15 seconds before applying to skin. Our soaps are gentle enough for daily face and body use.

Let's Talk About It

Have any questions?

What makes Merlot Soap different from store-bought soap?

Every bar of Merlot Soap is cold-process crafted with naturally derived ingredients. Merlot handmade soap—luxurious scent. Real wine for antioxidant benefits. Gentle for daily face & body use. The difference you'll notice is how your skin feels — clean and moisturized, not stripped. Made with Refined Sweet Almond Oil and Blueberry Seeds.

Does Merlot Soap work as a facial cleanser?

Absolutely. Merlot Soap lathers into a creamy foam that lifts impurities without drying. The natural glycerin retained in our cold-process method keeps your skin comfortable after washing.

How many washes do I get from Merlot Soap?

A bar of Merlot Soap typically lasts 4–6 weeks with daily use. The dense, butter-rich formula holds up longer than most soaps. Just keep it on a draining dish so it dries between uses.

Is Merlot Soap safe for sensitive skin?

Yes — Merlot Soap contains no parabens, phthalates, sulfates, or synthetic detergents. Includes Refined Sweet Almond Oil and Blueberry Seeds. The cold-process method retains natural glycerin which helps soothe rather than strip. Patch test if you have reactive skin.

GOOD THINGS DON'T LAST FOREVER

Enjoy It While You Can

A full bar lasts 3-4 weeks with daily shower use. Store on a draining dish between uses to maximize its life. The bar will naturally shrink as the good stuff transfers to your skin — that's how you know it's working.
