The last sliver of your favorite bar just slipped down the drain, and the backup is the hotel soap from two summers ago. Time to stock up. This is four bars of one scent, shipped without boxes, which means less trash for you and a full drawer of the soap you already love. Same honest base as every Slow North bar: coconut, olive, and castor oils, shea butter, rice bran, and sunflower, scented only with essential oils.

Pick from eleven scents, including Afterglow, Coconut + Oatmeal, Eucalyptus + Lavender, and more. Keep one at every sink.

Restocking has never felt this smug.

Brand story

Slow North

Slow North started the way a lot of good things do: in a backyard garage, with a new baby in the house. In 2015, after her first son was born, founder Michelle Simmons went looking for candles with ingredients she actually wanted to breathe around her family. She didn't love what she found, so she started pouring her own in Austin, Texas.

That garage project grew into a studio that still hand pours every candle in small batches. The recipes are lean: soy wax, cotton wicks, and 100% essential oils. No synthetic fragrance, no artificial dyes, no mystery list on the label. Soaps, linen sprays and reed diffusers followed, all built on the same idea. Fewer, better ingredients, and scents that are familiar.

Here's the part we really love. Slow North gives 10% of its profits to four causes: the Central Texas Food Bank, The SAFE Alliance, RAICES, and Kiva micro-loans. So the candle on your nightstand is also helping keep pantries stocked and neighbors supported back home in Texas and around the world.

Simple ingredients, easy rituals, and a little good done. That's Universal Design with a warm glow.

Description

Four bars of one scent, shipped without boxes. The way to restock something you already know you like.

Cold-processed in Austin. The base is the same in every bar we make. Coconut oil for hardness and a big lather, olive oil as the counterweight so it isn't all bubbles, castor oil to make that lather dense rather than airy, shea butter for creaminess, and rice bran and sunflower to soften the bar. Sodium hydroxide is the lye, which is what turns oil into soap and is used up in the making of it.

Scented with essential oils, as with everything we make. Good for hands and body.
