The story behind the bar

THE LORE

Biblical Borith

A soap of biblical proportions.

Soapmaking in the Middle East is old, really old. Archaeologists have found soap-like residue in clay cylinders from ancient Babylon dating to roughly 2800 B.C., describing fats boiled with ash.

The Bible references a cleansing substance called “borith,” a generic Hebrew term for something made from the ashes of plants. No exact recipe survives, so this bar was built from ingredients that would have been at home in that ancient world.

Dead Sea mud gives the bar its mineral character. Frankincense, a prized ancient trade good, brings its warm resinous perfume. Cedarwood supplies the dry, woody base, and olive oil ties it back to the ancient Mediterranean.

As someone who is trying to get away from the corporate machine, I want to say that I very highly recommend these soaps! I think people need to start supporting these little businesses again and stop feeding the elites. This man, J.D. Bauer makes some great soaps and I will highly recommend them to anyone and everyone. I used to buy the Native soaps from the store but they aren't good for the skin. These soaps are. I believe it is high time for people to start coming back to helping each other out instead of feeding the greedy corporate machine!

I'll definitely be buying again! I've been looking everywhere for a soap that prioritizes natural ingredients and a more earthy scent. I like when you can smell all of the ingredients used. This soap has almost a clay quality to the smell if that makes sense, its very neutral but truly comes to life when you use it because all the different layers start to come through with the steam and water, notably the orange! Its very light and soft tho, and compliments the earthiness perfectly! Also think the packaging is very cool, the other side has a wax seal and an ink design.

My man chose this bar and absolutely loved it! (I picked the Pine Tar for him) he can't wait to use it! We like to cut them in half when they get here now so we can each split the bars we choose and we leave each half in it's box to cure for a couple more weeks! The bars get much firmer and they still smell amazing! Would definitely reorder!

Biblical Borith is a very unique, calming smell in which I greatly enjoy! It seems much more "mellow" scent in comparison to scents like Pine Tar and Celtic Woods. All of which smell incredible might I add!

They came very nicely wrapped with a little pamphlet to explain why these are special. I think my mother in law will really like them.

This one smells so delightful! It smells exactly how I expected it to smell. Skin feels soft and moisturized. I do recommend it! It is very gentle on the skin. The gentlest soap I've ever used! He answered all my questions and even recommended the Pine Tar soap if I was looking for something more moisturizing. I requested my soaps to be cut in smaller sizes, which he forgot to do at first. He remembered before he was about to ship the order, and then opened the package to cut them all up for me and made sure to let me know the package was taking long to ship due to that situation. He made sure I was satisfied with my order and request. Best customer service experience I've had. Thank you! I recommend this shop and soaps!

The soap is the best. I was a bit confused with all the name changes. It would be helpful if you could let returning customers know about changes to the soap names.
