Cielo Oscuro Soap

Cielo Oscuro: The Story Behind the Soap

The inspiration for Cielo Oscuro came one evening while gazing at the dark sky, where the vastness of the universe stretches endlessly in every direction. The deep black expanse, dotted with stars, evoked a feeling of mystery and strength, a quiet reminder of the power that lies in the unseen.

The night is often associated with calm and rest, but in the stillness of a dark sky, there's an underlying energy that stirs within. This soap was created to capture that balance — the tranquility of the night and the untamed force it holds. 

We wanted to evoke a scent that reflects this duality, combining the sharpness of pepper with the grounding earthiness that feels both familiar and bold. The masculine aroma of Cielo Oscuro Soap echoes the timeless strength of the night, and with every use, it invites you to explore the unknown within yourself. Just as the dark sky draws you in, this soap draws you to reconnect with your senses, offering a moment of quiet power in your daily routine. 

From this vision, Cielo Oscuro Soap was born — a soap that honors the shadows and celebrates the beauty found in the depth of night.

The  Formula

Olive Oil (Olea Europaea):** Rich in antioxidants and vitamins, olive oil nourishes and hydrates the skin. Its gentle cleansing properties help maintain the skin's natural moisture barrier, leaving it soft and smooth.

Coconut Oil (Cocos Nucifera):** Known for its deep moisturizing and antibacterial properties, coconut oil helps cleanse the skin while retaining moisture. It also provides a creamy lather, ensuring a luxurious washing experience.

Castor Seed Oil (Ricinus Communis):** This thick, soothing oil helps condition the skin and adds a rich lather to the soap. Castor oil also has anti-inflammatory properties, which can be beneficial for sensitive or irritated skin.

Color Function of Indigo & Gromwell Root:

Indigo (Baphicacanthus Cusia) & Gromwell Root (Lithospermum Erythrorhizon) infused Sunflower Seed Oil (Helianthus Annuus):** These natural botanical infusions not only provide powerful skin benefits but also impart a rich, vibrant color to *Cielo Oscuro*. The indigo creates deep blue hues, reminiscent of the night sky, while the gromwell root adds a subtle purple tint, contributing to the soap's overall dark and moody aesthetic. These natural colorants allow *Cielo Oscuro* to capture the visual essence of a dark, mysterious sky, enhancing the sensory experience of using the soap while keeping it free from synthetic dyes.

Platonia insignis (Bacuri) Butter, Deep Moisturization: Bacuri butter is known for its intense moisturizing properties. Rich in fatty acids, it penetrates deeply into the skin, providing lasting hydration and leaving the skin soft and supple.

Sumac Wax (Rhus Succedanea):** Sumac wax acts as a natural emulsifier, helping the soap maintain a smooth texture while adding a layer of skin protection. It also imparts a luxurious feel to the bar.

Kaolin Clay & Sea Clay:** Both clays are renowned for their gentle detoxifying properties. Kaolin clay helps to gently exfoliate, drawing out impurities from the skin without drying it out. Sea clay, rich in minerals, helps to balance and revitalize the skin.

Another Color Function of Australian Black Clay (Magnetite):

Australian Black Clay, or Magnetite, not only offers powerful deep cleansing benefits but also contributes to the rich, dark color of Cielo Oscuro Soap. The deep black hue of this mineral-rich clay visually represents the intensity of the dark sky that inspired the soap. Its natural pigmentation adds a bold and dramatic look to the bar, creating an aesthetic that mirrors its deep cleansing and purifying properties. By incorporating Australian Black Clay, Cielo Oscuro Soap captures the mystery and allure of the night, both in appearance and effect.

Together, these clays work to cleanse, exfoliate, and rejuvenate the skin, offering a deep yet gentle detoxification that enhances the overall experience of Cielo Oscuro.

Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca Alternafolia):** Tea tree oil is famous for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it excellent for treating acne-prone or irritated skin. It helps purify and refresh the skin.

Frankincense Oil (Boswellia Sacra):** Calming and Grounding: Beyond its skincare benefits, frankincense oil has a calming, grounding aroma that can reduce stress and promote relaxation, enhancing your overall wellness during your daily grooming ritual.

Piper nigrum (Pepper) Oil: ** Invigorating and Energizing: With its warm and spicy aroma, pepper oil can invigorate the senses, providing an energizing and revitalizing effect both for the skin and mind.

Clove Leaf Oil (Syzygium Aromaticum):** Clove oil adds a spicy, warming note to the soap’s scent profile. Its antibacterial properties help purify the skin while adding an energizing, invigorating touch.

Eucalyptus Oil (Eucalyptus Globulus):** Known for its invigorating and refreshing scent, eucalyptus oil also has natural antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, promoting skin healing and a sense of vitality.**Chinese Cedarwood Oil (Cupressus Funebris):** This oil has a grounding, woodsy aroma that adds a masculine note to the soap while helping to calm the skin and promote relaxation.

**Did You Know?**
When it comes to skin cleansers, lather is typically 100% aesthetic and not necessary for effective cleansing. Many companies add synthetic chemicals solely to increase lather, which can dry out the skin and cause harmful effects with long-term use. Our formula avoids such additives, focusing instead on nourishing your skin naturally.
