Skin care brands that are trying to save the planet.

Aárd

Aárd produces a range of soap cubes designed to simplify your skin and hair care routines as their products are suitable for shampoo, body wash and face cleanser.

Their four-ingredient formula is entirely natural and essential. Olive oil is a vital ingredient that possesses multiple properties including itch relief for those who suffer from irritable skin. It also gently moisturises the skin without stripping it of its natural oils while protecting the skin with its natural antioxidant content.

Laurel berry oil is a natural antibacterial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory agent that is perfect for dry, sensitive and problematic skin. Soothing, nourishing and healing for both skin and scalp, this is another oil that serves a great purpose in your daily routine.

Finally, water and lye are key components when creating their signature soap cubes however no lye remains in the finished product as it disappears in the saponification process.

With three cubes to choose from, each is targeted at particular areas whether that’s normal, combination or problematic skin, the ratio of laurel determines which range is best suited to you. Based on a 4,000 year old recipe, it has stood the test of time so next time you wash you should know exactly what you are using on your body and scalp.

Make life easy and choose Aárd.
