Bladderwrack Face Soap for Microbiome Balance, Skin Barrier Support and Blemish Prone Skin

Natural Face Soap That Supports Skin Microbiome, Strengthens the Skin Barrier and Gently Cleanses

Bladderwrack Face Soap with wild bladderwrack powder, MelaFresh T96 derived from tea tree oil, organic olive oil and jojoba oil gently cleanses while supporting the skin microbiome, strengthening the skin barrier and reducing inflammation in blemish prone, sensitive, atopic and dry skin. Microbiome friendly. Sulfate free. 100% natural origin. Vegan. Unisex. Handmade in Finland.

Most conventional soaps disrupt the skin microbiome by stripping protective oils and raising the skin's pH. This soap does the opposite: its formula of cold-pressed, unrefined oils cleanses without defatting the skin, while bladderwrack and a natural tea tree derived antimicrobial active help maintain microbial balance rather than destroy it.
