A Routine For LATHER

For The Body

For dryness, dullness, and depleted skin, this sensorial routine cleanses, hydrates, and replenishes for lasting softness and balance.

Start with LATHER Artisanal Bar Soap to create a creamy, aromatic foam that gently purifies without stripping—leaving skin clean, soft, and refreshed. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.

Follow with REFRESH Mineral Mist to replenish hydration and essential trace minerals—revitalizing the skin and preparing it to better absorb moisture.

REPLENISH Everywhere Oil completes the ritual, sealing in hydration while restoring elasticity and delivering nutrient-dense nourishment for smooth, radiant skin.

The result: soft, supple, and luminous skin—deeply hydrated, balanced, and glowing with vitality.

FAQs

Can LATHER be used on the face?

Yes, but because saponified oil soap bars have a higher pH, we recommend following immediately with our pH balanced treatment products, including REFRESH, RENEW, and your preferred LINNÉ face oil.

How is traditional soap made?

All traditional soaps are made by combining fats or oils with an alkali, like sodium hydroxide (lye), in a process called saponification. During this reaction, fats break down into free fatty acids, which then bind with the alkali to form soap and natural glycerin. All lye is fully consumed in this process, meaning LATHER contains no residual lye. To enhance its moisturizing benefits, LATHER is superfatted—formulated with extra nourishing oils beyond what’s needed for saponification. These include organic olive oil, cocoa butter, and babassu oil, along with pink clay and regenerative essential oils, making it exceptionally gentle, hydrating, and nourishing for the skin.

What is the pH of traditional soap?

All true soap has a pH of 9.5-10.5, so you may prefer to use our pH balanced PURIFY and CLEANSE on your face if you have dry skin. If you are already comfortable cleansing with a bar soap, this bar will be no more alkaline than others, and if anything it may be more nourishing. If you are a bar lover but struggle with dry skin consider applying REFRESH mist head to toe post cleanse - this will help to prevent topical dehydration. Sealing in REFRESH with one of our oils or balms will add additional emollience and keep your skin smooth, soft and radiant.

What's the difference between hot and cold processed soap?

Hot process soap uses heat from an external source to accelerate saponification, the process by which fats and alkalis combine to create soap. While cold-process often uses heat early on to warm the base oils, once the oils and sodium hydroxide are mixed, heat from the process itself is relied on to finish saponification. Soap bars made using the hot process have a shorter cure time. Technically, it’s safe to use them once they are fully hardened - typically 24-48 hours. Cold process however is done at room temperature. The saponified base is mixed with essential oils, and before it solidifies, it is poured into a block mold to set up and harden for 1-2 days. Once the soap solidifies, but while it’s still soft, it is removed from the mold and cut into bars. Then it has to undergo a curing process in a cool, dry place. The cure time for cold-process soap is 4-6 weeks, and then it’s ready to use. With the cold process, soapmakers get harder, smoother soap bars that last longer in the shower and are gentler on the skin. LATHER is made using cold-process method. While a slower process, the result is a skin-compatible, nourishing bar.
