Buchu is a native South African botanical renowned for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. At Aardvel, we infuse our shampoo bars with organic Buchu oil to help soothe sensitive skin, combat dandruff, and support a healthy scalp and skin microbiome.

Our soaps are carefully pH balanced to match your skin’s natural state, helping to keep your moisture barrier happy and intact. That means a gentle, effective cleanse without the dryness or irritation that comes from harsh, alkaline soaps.

No sulphates, silicones, parabens, synthetic fragrances, or artificial colourants. Just clean ingredients your skin can understand.

No fake perfumes. Just pure plant-based essential oils that smell like actual nature, not a chemical cocktail.

Our soaps are safe for your face, body, hands; even intimate areas.

Our packaging is 100% plastic-free, and every piece is either biodegradable or recyclable. We are proud and happy to be able to offer you a waste-free shopping experience.

Pretty good soap

So I've been using this thing with buchu and charcoal for a bit. It kinda helped with my skin, felt smoother and less oily. Didn't expect much but it did the job. I guess I'm satisfied with it so far. 🙂

Questions

Wet your skin and the soap bar
Start with clean, damp hands and skin. Run the soap bar under warm water for a few seconds to activate its creamy lather.
Create a rich lather
Rub the bar between your hands or directly onto your body in circular motions. You’ll notice a soft, bubbly lather form as the natural oils and clays gently cleanse the skin.
Cleanse and refresh
Gently massage the lather into your skin, allowing the botanical ingredients — like Buchu oil — to purify, calm and rebalance. Perfect for both face and body, depending on your skin’s needs.
Rinse thoroughly
Rinse off with warm water and pat your skin dry with a soft towel. You’ll be left with skin that feels clean, refreshed and never tight or stripped.
Store it well
To keep your soap bar lasting longer, store it on a slotted soap dish or a surface that drains well. Let it dry completely between uses to avoid softening or waste.
Use daily for healthy skin

Sometimes, especially if your skin’s used to synthetic detergents & commercial soaps. You might experience slight dryness or a texture shift at first; but give it a week or two. Your skin’s barrier needs a little time to adjust and rebalance.
