A deep-cleansing natural facial bar with activated charcoal and kaolin clay - for oily, congested and pore-clogged skin. Scented with pure aniseed essential oil. Handcrafted in Takahue Valley, Far North of New Zealand.
 
'Liquorice All Sorts (of goodness)' is the most detoxifying of the three facial bars. Activated charcoal acts like a magnet for impurities - drawing out excess oil, pollution residue and congestion from pores in a way that ordinary soap simply cannot. The result is skin that feels genuinely clean, not just surface-washed.
 
The distinctive aniseed scent makes this bar immediately memorable - herbal, slightly sweet and completely natural. If you've never tried a charcoal facial bar, this is a revelation.
 
Why These Ingredients Work
 
Saponified Organic Coconut Oil and Olive Oil - The cleansing base. Cold-process saponified plant oils create a gentler lather than conventional synthetic detergents, cleansing without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier.
 
Shea Butter - Rich in fatty acids and Vitamins A and E, Shea Butter balances the detoxifying action of the charcoal and clay, ensuring the bar nourishes as it cleanses rather than leaving skin tight or dry.
 
Organic Rosehip Oil - Deeply skin-nourishing and rich in essential fatty acids and natural Vitamin C. Rosehip Oil is widely respected in natural skincare for supporting skin health and helping to maintain a bright, even complexion.
 
Activated Charcoal - The star ingredient. Activated charcoal has an extraordinary capacity to bind to oil, impurities and environmental pollutants on the skin surface and in the pores, drawing them out during cleansing. It is particularly effective for oily and congested skin, and is the reason this bar lathers with such a distinctive dark, dramatic foam.
 
Kaolin Clay - A fine white mineral clay that absorbs excess sebum and helps smooth and refine the skin's surface. Kaolin is one of the gentler clays, making it suitable for daily use even on combination skin. Working alongside the charcoal, it gives this bar its deep-cleansing character without over-stripping.
 
Pure Aniseed Essential Oil - The scent of this bar is genuinely distinctive - warm, herbal, slightly liquorice-like and completely natural. Aniseed essential oil also has mild antiseptic properties that support the clarifying character of the formula.
