Pine & Charcoal Soap

Locally wildcrafted pine comes together with charcoal to refresh and purify.

As an astringent, pine hardens proteins on the surface of the skin, preventing excessive oil from accumulating in the pores upon drying. Charcoal’s meso-porous structure allows it to absorb several hundred times its own weight in impurities. This is ALTR's strongest, most deeply cleansing soap.

ALTR creates hand-made bar soap with local, wildcrafted botanicals. They seek to change popular soap culture (i.e., alter) by offering products that showcase local plants, and, in this way, elevate (i.e., put on an altar) the seemingly mundane task of washing oneself into a ritual reconnection to the land that sustains us.

All of the main botanical elements are grown or responsibly wildcrafted by ALTR and then brewed into a nourishing infusion that acts as a base for each bar.

Their soap is 100% natural, made with organic ingredients, palm oil free and vegan. They make each product with great care and hope that their soap will inspire people to take care of themselves and reincorporate the natural world back into their daily rituals.
