Citrus Carbon Swirl
Litsea, tea tree

Pick it up and you get lemon peel: litsea, also called may chang, a fresh rind with a soft floral edge. Work up a lather and tea tree takes over, green and a little medicinal, the smell of crushed leaves. Together they settle into a clean herbal citrus.
The base is olive oil and tallow for a firm, long-wearing bar, with coconut for bubbles and a little shea butter and castor for a creamy lather. Aloe vera juice stands in for the water. Charcoal makes the dark swirl, and kaolin clay, sugar and silk round out the lather. Two essential oils, nothing more.
Citrus, carbon, swirl: the name is the recipe. A plain-working bar with a bit of a twist.
