Lemongrass & Patchouli

Mud and Moon is a design studio started by Dhanvi Shah based in Ahmedabad, India, pursuing artisanal cold process soaps. The studio creates soaps that are mindfully designed, hand-poured, and hand-cut in small batches. Mud and Moon focuses on true soap made through cold process saponification, using plant-based oils such as olive, sunflower, coconut, and castor oil, each chosen for its skin-loving properties. All bars are naturally coloured using ingredients like indigo, turmeric, clays, and botanical powders, and scented with essential or fragrance oils.

The practice behind Mud and Moon is rooted in a belief that bathing can be both sensory and restorative. Glycerin, a natural byproduct of cold process soap-making, is preserved within each bar, helping draw moisture into the skin. Free from SLS, parabens, and phthalates, the soaps are created as functional art-pieces. Alongside its core collections, Mud and Moon also creates custom soaps for weddings, events, baby showers, and corporate gifting.

Lather up the bar with lots of water in your hands and cleanse. Be careful with the eyes. Incase of contact with water, rinse with water. To extend the life of your soap, keep dry between use by using a draining soap dish. Please patch test before use.
How much ever you are tempted to, do not eat the soap. They are not pastries for sure. For external use only. Patch test before use. Discontinue using incase of irritation or redness.

Store the soap in dry & cool place or cupboard.
In case of humid weather or rainy days, its most preferred to store the soap in a room where you use the air conditioner often. Since cold process soaps have glycerin occurring naturally in them which is a natural humectant, they attract moisture from the weather. This makes the soap watery, the packaging flimsy from the water and it might look like its melting. But its just moisture from the weather, and does not affect the quality of the soap. Even if your soap do watch moisture, they will work perfectly fine when in use.
