Overberg Collection – Old Harbour (>100g)

Step back in time with our Old Harbour Artisanal Cold Processed Soap. This bar pays homage to the historic heart of Hermanus, drawing visual inspiration from the iconic orange-brown concrete and weathered surfaces of the Old Harbour slipways. It is a warm, textured, and deeply comforting soap designed to ground the senses and revitalise the skin.

The Heritage of Cold Processed Soap

At The Hummingbird, we craft each bar using the time-honoured cold process method. By blending grass-fed Beef Tallow with luxury Marula Oil, we ensure a superior level of moisture that typical soaps lack. This Old Harbour Artisanal Cold Processed Soap naturally preserves its glycerin content, resulting in a dense, creamy lather that protects the skin’s Lipid Barrier during every wash.

Key Ingredients & Skin Benefits:

• Turmeric & Ginger Powder: These natural botanicals provide the bar’s signature sun-baked orange hue. Both are celebrated for their anti-inflammatory properties, helping to soothe and brighten the skin.
• Colloidal Oatmeal: To reflect the rugged surfaces of the harbour, we include oatmeal for its gentle Exfoliation benefits. It lifts away dead skin cells while calming dry or itchy patches.
• Kaolin Clay & Almond Milk: This combination ensures the bar remains gentle. The clay draws out impurities while the almond milk provides a dose of Vitamin E for a silky, conditioned finish.
• Marula & Castor Oil: These oils create a stable, bubbling foam that feels decadent on the skin, providing essential fatty acids for lasting hydration.

Fragrance Profile:

Our proprietary blend for Old Harbour is an energising, spicy composition that reflects the warmth of a sun-drenched afternoon on the rocks.

• Top Notes: A vibrant, zesty opening of Sharp Citrus that cuts through the air like a fresh sea breeze.
• Middle Notes: A heart of Warm Spice and aromatic root notes that provide a comforting, familiar depth.
• Base Notes: A lingering, Peppery and Earthy finish that grounds the fragrance, leaving you feeling revitalised and strong.
