About this product

Named after the river that runs through our part of Marlborough, this is a gentle, everyday floral bar. Rose geranium, ylang ylang and lavender give a soft, pretty scent, and kaolin clay and indigo make it pale duck-egg blue. Tallow, plant oils and cow's milk make a creamy lather.

  • Wet the bar and your skin.
  • Lather in your hands or on a cloth, then rinse well.
  • Let it dry on a draining dish between uses.
  • Grass-fed tallow – From our local Marlborough butcher; makes a hard, lasting bar
  • Olive, coconut, shea and castor oils – Help make a soft, bubbly, creamy lather
  • Cow's milk – Adds a lovely creamy feel to the bar
  • Rose geranium, ylang ylang, lavender oils – A soft, pretty floral blend
  • Kaolin clay and indigo – For a gentle, pale duck-egg blue

Good questions

Questions about this one

What does it smell like?

Soft and floral. Rose geranium leads, ylang ylang adds a sweet, creamy note, and lavender keeps it calm.

Is it 100% tallow?

No, it's a blend bar. Tallow plus olive, coconut, shea and castor oils and cow's milk gives a bubblier, softer lather. Our 100% tallow bars lather denser and creamier, with smaller bubbles.

Is it vegan or dairy-free?

No. It's made with grass-fed beef tallow and cow's milk.

How long does a bar last?

A long time, if it can dry out between uses. Tallow makes a hard, dense bar. Keep it on a draining dish or in a soap saver bag, never sitting in water.

Why Wairau River?

It's named after the Wairau River, which runs through our part of Marlborough. The soft blue bar and gentle scent are my nod to it.
