Product overview
Key Ingredients
- Sodium Salts of Fatty Acids: the soap base that provides cleansing action
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate: a mild surfactant that helps produce lather; note this is SLES, not SLS, though the brand's "SLS-free" claim is technically consistent since SLES and SLS are related but distinct surfactants
- Fragrance with Patchouli Oil: provides the earthy, aromatic patchouli scent that gives this variant its name
- Macadamia Nut Oil: included for its skin-conditioning and moisturizing properties
- Also contains Propylene Glycol, Sorbitol, Glycerin, PEG-8, Sodium Chloride, Acetic Acid, Tetrasodium EDTA, Tetrasodium Etidronate, BHT, Benzyl Salicylate, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Citronellol, Geraniol, Hydroxycitronellal, Limonene, Linalool (fragrance components), and CI 45100 (colorant)
- Sourcing note: this ingredient list was sourced from ITC's official site for the 125g bar in this scent line; a separately published ingredient panel for the 75g size specifically could not be found, though it is reasonable to expect the same formula across pack sizes of the same product line
