Overberg Collection – Whale Coast Sky (>100g)

Embrace the moody beauty of a stormy afternoon with our Whale Coast Sky Artisanal Cold Processed Soap. This bar captures the dramatic atmosphere of a typical winter’s day in the Overberg, where heavy, charcoal-grey clouds roll over the mountains. We’ve infused this batch with antioxidant-rich green tea and added delicate shavings of our Benguela bar to represent the white sea spray dancing against a dark, slate sky. It offers a grounding cleansing ritual that reflects the raw, untamed elegance of our coastal winter weather.

The Traditional Cold Process Method

The Hummingbird creates every bar using the time-honoured cold process technique. By combining grass-fed Beef Tallow with the protective luxury of Manketti Oil, we ensure a soap that cleanses without compromising your skin’s natural integrity. This Whale Coast Sky Artisanal Cold Processed Soap naturally retains its hydrating glycerin, resulting in a dense, creamy lather that protects the skin against the elements. We meticulously hand-craft each batch to ensure a high-quality bar that respects your skin’s Acid Mantle.

Key Ingredients & Skin Benefits:

• Green Tea & Activated Charcoal: We use a potent green tea infusion to deliver a wealth of Antioxidants directly to the skin, helping to soothe inflammation. The activated charcoal works in tandem to draw out deep-seated impurities and toxins, leaving your pores clear and refined.
• Upcycled Benguela Shavings: By incorporating shavings from our Benguela soap, we create a unique “confetti” texture that provides a gentle, varied feel on the skin. This sustainable practice ensures no piece of our artisanal soap goes to waste while adding a touch of the Atlantic’s mineral-rich essence to the bar.
• Manketti & Castor Oil: Manketti oil is prized for its ability to thrive in harsh environments, offering incredible moisture-retention properties. When paired with castor oil, it creates a thick, conditioning foam that shields the skin from the drying effects of the winter wind.
• Tallow & Almond Milk Base: Our signature grass-fed tallow base mimics the natural oils of human skin for superior biocompatibility. The addition of almond milk enhances the “silk-like” glide of the soap, ensuring a nourishing wash that feels soft and luxurious.

Fragrance Profile:

Our proprietary botanical blend for Whale Coast Sky is a sophisticated, single-origin aromatic experience that captures the crisp, sharp air of a high-veld storm.

• Top Notes: A bright, Peppery Citrus zest that provides an immediate sense of clarity and freshness, cutting through the heavy winter air.
• Middle Notes: A heart of Spicy Herbaceous Green that brings a complex, slightly floral depth to the cleansing experience.
• Base Notes: A clean, Balsamic Bitter-Wood finish that lingers on the skin, providing a grounded and sophisticated aromatic trail.

How to Care for Your Artisanal Soap:

To prolong the life of your Whale Coast Sky Artisanal Cold Processed Soap, we recommend using a draining soap dish to allow the bar to dry between uses. Experience the dramatic beauty of our coastal landscape by exploring the full Overberg Collection.
