A zesty, uplifting wake-up call for your skin and senses.

This bar is a handcrafted piece of sunshine. A customer favorite year after year, it blends the fresh, sweet scent of pure lemon verbena essential oil with the soothing properties of calendula for a truly uplifting clean.

Its natural astringent qualities make it perfect for balancing oily skin, while its rich, creamy lather leaves you feeling refreshed, energized, and ready to start your day.

"I wanted a soap that felt like a bright, clean start to the day. Lemon Verbena has that amazing, zesty scent, but it's also a wonderful natural astringent. Adding calendula petals makes it extra soothing. It's a little bar of sunshine that's great for balancing oily skin."

A Bright & Zesty Scent: Scented only with 100% pure lemon and lemon verbena essential oils for an authentic, mood-boosting citrus aroma.
Soothes & Calms the Skin: Infused with real calendula petals, known for their powerful anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe irritation.

INGREDIENTS

saponified oils of olive, coconut, palm (sustainably sourced), shea butter, calendula petals, Em'z signature essential oil blend with lemon verbena and lemon essential oils.

Is the lemon scent from fragrance or essential oils? The scent is 100% pure essential oils. We use a bright, zesty blend of lemon verbena and lemon essential oils to create an authentic, uplifting citrus aroma with absolutely no synthetic fragrances.

Is this soap drying if I don't have oily skin? Not at all. While its natural astringent properties are great for balancing oily skin, we craft all our soaps using a "superfatting" process. This leaves a portion of moisturizing oils, like olive oil and shea butter, in the final bar, ensuring a rich, conditioning lather that cleanses without stripping your skin.

Are the calendula petals scratchy? No, the calendula petals are ground and become soft in the soapmaking process. They provide gentle, soothing properties and a beautiful, natural appearance without creating a scratchy or abrasive texture.
