Soap Brick

Luxury body bar soap made with natural, sustainable, and biodegradable materials.

From our friends at Flamingo Estate:

Packed full of Garden ingredients, this recipe is hyper-simple, but the process is not – everything is truly made by hand and sourced from a fully traceable collection of growers. One important example is our Babassu Oil, which we sourced as an alternative to dreadful Palm Oil. It is harvested on the perimeter of the rainforest in Brazil by local communities, rather than industrialized. The seeds are gathered by a collective of Indigenous women who use the funds to directly support their families and community.

Lavender & Activated Charcoal:

• Story: This is one of the most unique Soaps we make. The fragrance is outrageous – the aroma fills a room even when it’s not being used. Black like the night, this Bar Soap purifies the skin with Sage and activated Charcoal; then, regenerative California Lavender warms and soothes you into reverie.
• Makeup: The aroma of the Soap is 100% Essential Oil of Lavender and Black Sage Hydrosol, gently folded into a base of Charcoal, Babassu, and Olive Oil. It is crafted lovingly by hand with ancient soap-making practices. It will transform the way you bathe, and you’ll feel it on your body the whole day.
  
• Fragrance: Black Sage and Activated Charcoal purifies, cleanses and grounds you in the black earth beneath you. Lavender warms, soothes and lulls you into reverie.
• Ingredients: Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil*, Orbignya Oleifera (Babassu) Seed Oil*, Salvia Mellifera (Black Sage) Hydrosol Water*, Water/Aqua/Eau, Sodium Hydroxide**, Lavandula Intermedia Flower/Leaf/Stem Oil*, Carbo Activatus (Activated Charcoal) (*Organic, **Used for saponification, none remains in final product)

Exfoliating Peppermint:

• Story: The morning alarm clock we need. This big chunk of a Bar Soap has become my favorite way to wake up.  As soon as the Soap hits the hot water, I get hit with a sharp, cool energizing tingle that fills the entire bathroom and travels down the hallways. It’s got a fistful of Organic Peppermint that energizes, French Blue Clay that draws out impurities, and Big Sur Sea Salt which exfoliates and mineralizes. This process removes dead cells, allowing skin to become more receptive to all actives and moisture.
• Makeup: We chose Poppy Seeds as the exfoliant because their roundness smoothes out the skin evenly and gently — with no sharp edges, meaning no micro-tears. Our Sea Salt is sustainably sourced from the waters of Big Sur. Our friend Carlo Overhulser harvests evaporating seawater, which contains a complex mixture of minerals, trace elements, and organic matter that are unique to each ocean and region. His process of evaporation concentrates these components in a painstaking process, resulting in a distinctive texture.
• Ingredients: Organic Babassu Seed Oil, Organic Olive Fruit Oil, Big Sur Sea Salt, French Blue Clay, Organic Black Poppyseeds, Organic Peppermint Essential Oil, Sodium Hydroxide* (*Used for saponification, none remains in final product)

About the soaps:

We’re serious about what goes into our Soaps. It starts with the plants we grow in our gardens, each one selected for its unique properties. When the time is just right, we harvest these ingredients by hand to capture their peak freshness. In our kitchen, these botanicals are blended in small batches, maintaining the integrity of each ingredient. We then cut the Soaps into generous bricks. This process is deliberate and mindful, ensuring that every bar delivers a rich, nourishing experience for your skin.

We grow our own ingredients, hand-harvesting them at their peak to ensure every bar is packed with natural goodness. Our Soaps are crafted in small batches, so you get a product that’s as unique as it is effective.

Our gentle ingredients like calendula and olive oil make our soaps suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Our Soaps are gentle enough for facial use and provide nourishing benefits with every wash.

Flamingo Estate is based in Los Angeles, CA. The Estate is a large home and garden atop an orchard overlooking Los Angeles. Many scents are inspired and crafted by the farm and farmers.
