Soaps
A bar of soap is one of the simplest things in your bathroom. It should also be one of the purest.
Every Bodhi Tree Artisan Soap is handmade in Sydney in small batches, using a very high proportion of olive oil blended with coconut oil, rice bran oil, avocado oil, and a range of skin-nourishing butters and botanical extracts. No sulphates. No synthetic fragrances. No preservatives. Nothing that doesn't belong on your skin.
What makes handmade soap so different from commercial soap is glycerine. Glycerine forms naturally during the soap-making process and is a powerful humectant โ it draws moisture from the air to your skin. Most commercial soap manufacturers extract the glycerine and sell it separately, leaving you with a bar that cleans but dries. Our soaps retain all of it.
The result is a soap that genuinely nourishes as it cleanses โ leaving skin soft, not stripped. We also have an unscented range for those with fragrance sensitivities.
Each variety is formulated for a different skin type or purpose:
๐ฟ French Lavender โ calming and classic. For all skin types, especially sensitive.
โซ Charcoal Calendula Face Bar โ detoxifying and healing. For acne-prone or oily skin.
๐ธ Patchouli Grapefruit โ grounding and uplifting. For normal to oily skin.
๐ก Saffron Almond โ luxurious and brightening. For dry and mature skin.
๐ฟ Turmeric & Sacred Basil โ brightening and antibacterial. For dull or blemish-prone skin.
๐ Goats Milk Tea Tree โ deeply gentle and cleansing. For sensitive, eczema-prone or irritated skin.๐ฅ Buttermilk Unscented โ the purest of them all. For very sensitive skin, babies, and those with fragrance sensitivity.

Buttermilk Unscented and Buttermilk May Chang
The lactic acid in buttermilk makes for a great natural exfoliant, removing dead skin cells. It can brighten skin, help fade brown spots, help even out skin texture. Additionally, buttermilk is known for its ability to soothe and hydrate the skin, making it a great choice for babies and people with dry or sensitive skin.
Cleopatra Triple Milk
Created with a blend of three superstars of the milk family this soap combines their benefits to give you wonderful results for the skin.
Coconut milk contains anti-inflammatory compounds that can help soothe irritated skin, reduce redness, and soothe the symptoms of psoriasis, dermatitis and eczema. The natural fatty acids in this milk can help treat dry and irritated skin and remove harmful bacteria from the skin.
Goat milk has high amounts of fats, particularly caprylic acid and lactic acid, allowing for gentle removal of dirt and debris without removing the skinโs natural fatty acids.
