How to use

Apply to wet skin, lather directly or between your hands, then massage onto the body, hands, or face before rinsing.

Storage

Keep your soap dry between uses to prevent it from softening too quickly. For best results, place it on a magnetic soap holder or in a well-drained area of your shower where it can dry properly.

"Skin saturated with pollution, sebum, impurities. Elixir is the deep reset — black outside, clean skin inside."

Coconut-derived activated charcoal acts like a magnet on impurities: capturing them and carrying them away when you rinse. Organic peppermint essential oil cleanses deeply and leaves an immediate freshness that the skin remembers. Sesame and grapeseed oils rebuild the skin barrier. A soap that truly purifies — without ever drying.

For oily and combination skin with blemishes

🛢️

Oily and combination skin

Activated charcoal absorbs excess sebum. Oily skin stays clean all day, without rebound effect or dryness.

🔍

Enlarged pores and blackheads

Charcoal penetrates pores, absorbs excess sebum and carries it away on rinsing.

💥

Blemish-prone skin

Organic peppermint purifies and refreshes blemish-prone skin without stripping it.

🏙️

After a day in the city

Charcoal captures fine particles and heavy metals linked to urban pollution.

🔄

Alternated with Amaraterra

Elixir (charcoal + mint) + Amaraterra (double clay + palmarosa) = the ultimate detox duo.

4 organic actives for purified skin that's never stripped

1
Activated Charcoal
Coconut-derived

Its adsorbing action captures excess sebum and impurities at the skin surface and inside pores. It is what gives the soap its intense black colour.

2
Peppermint EO
Organic Ecocert

Purifying and toning, it leaves oily skin clean without stripping it. Its natural menthol creates an immediate and stimulating sensation of freshness.

3
Sesame Oil
Cosmos Organic

Rich in essential fatty acids and vitamin E, it restructures the skin and leaves it velvety smooth. Lightweight, it absorbs quickly without weighing skin down.

4
Grapeseed Oil
Organic Ecocert

Emollient and antioxidant, it protects the skin barrier after charcoal's purifying action. Skin stays supple, hydrated and never tight.

* Consumer usage test — 20 volunteers — 20 days

A purifying ritual in 4 steps

1
Wet your skin and the soap bar with warm water.
2
Glide on skin or lather between your hands until you get a black foam.
3
Massage gently. On the face, leave on for 30 seconds to activate the charcoal.
4
Rinse thoroughly. Enjoy the freshness and clean-skin sensation.
Expert tip The black foam turning white as you rinse? That's activated charcoal carrying impurities away. Use Elixir 3 to 4 times a week on the face, daily on the body. On a magnetic soap holder, a ~100g bar lasts 4 to 6 weeks.

Yes, Elixir is black — the natural colour of coconut activated charcoal. The lather is black in your hands, then turns white as you rinse. No, it doesn't stain skin, fabric or the bath with normal rinsing. This is one of the reasons customers love it: the visual effect confirms the purifying action.
Yes, but in moderation: maximum 3 to 4 times per week on the face. Charcoal's action is intense and it's best to let skin regenerate between uses. For daily facial use, Clair de Lune or Grenada are better suited. On the body (back, chest), Elixir can be used daily.
Elixir (activated charcoal + peppermint) targets sebum and pores: intense action, immediate freshness, clean-skin effect in 60 seconds. Amaraterra (double clay + palmarosa + eucalyptus) purifies while rebalancing the microbiome and remineralising. Alternated, they form the ultimate detox duo.
No, thanks to sesame and grapeseed oils that reconstitute the skin barrier. Natural glycerine from cold-process saponification stays in the soap and moisturises. Skin is clean and balanced — without the tight feeling of conventional detox products.
Kept away from water between uses (ideally on a magnetic soap holder), a ~100g bar lasts an average of 4 to 6 weeks with daily use.
