Templar Temple - Sandalwood

The Templars kept their halls clean and their purpose clear — stone, silence, and the slow burn of sandalwood that never quite left the walls. Centuries of it soaked into the mortar. You could tell you were inside the order before anyone said a word to you. This bar carries that same devotion, grounded and unwavering.

The scent

Straight sandalwood, done properly. Creamy and warm rather than sharp, with the smooth, almost milky quality that good sandalwood has. There's nothing else competing for attention — this is a single-note bar and it's confident about it.

• Opens with — rich sandalwood
• Settles into — a warm woody base
• Finishes — smooth and creamy, quietly lingering

Who it's for

Sandalwood is one of the most requested scents in soap and fragrance generally, and for good reason — it's timeless, it's genuinely unisex, and it's almost impossible to dislike. This is the bar to buy when you want something that will never feel out of place, and the safest of our woody scents to give as a gift.

What's in it, and why

• Coconut oil — the lather. It's what gives the bar its thick, fast bubbles.
• Olive oil — the gentleness. A classic conditioning oil that keeps the bar mild.
• Mango seed butter — the creaminess. Adds body to the lather and a softer feel on the skin.
• Avocado oil — rich and conditioning, long used in bars meant for dry or tired skin.
• Castor oil — the bubble stabilizer. A small amount makes the lather last instead of collapsing.
• Jojoba oil — closest in structure to skin's own oils, which is part of why the bar feels easy rather than stripping.
• Yogurt — our signature addition, and the reason the lather has a creamy, almost silky quality that plain soap doesn't.
• Tocopherol (Vitamin E) — a natural antioxidant that helps keep the oils fresh.

Making it last

Handmade soap is softer than the mass-produced bars you'd find in a supermarket, which is exactly why it feels better on your skin — and exactly why it dissolves if you leave it sitting in water. Keep it on a draining dish or in a sisal pouch between showers and let it dry out fully.
