Description
We had a little fun with the name of this soap — a playful nod to Quenton Tarantino and one of my favorite movies, the cult classic film Pulp Fiction. But the only action here is how good it feels on your skin.
This goat milk soap is crafted with a rich blend of coconut oil, lard, sal butter, shea butter, olive oil, sunflower oil, and castor oil to create a bar that’s creamy, conditioning, and long-lasting. Sal butter is the hidden gem in this recipe — it naturally contains squalane, a compound highly prized in skincare for its ability to moisturize and soften the skin. Combined with the deep conditioning of shea butter and olive oil, the rich lather from coconut and castor oils, and the hardness and stability added by lard, this bar offers the perfect balance of nourishment and performance.
Pumpkin powder gives the soap its warm orange hue while also lending skin-loving vitamins. Kaolin clay and bentonite clay provide gentle cleansing and a smooth, silky feel, and tussah silk adds a touch of luxury with every use.
Scented with a proprietary blend of pure essential oils, this bar has a bold, bright citrus-orange aroma that brings to mind fresh-squeezed oranges — uplifting, juicy, and full of sunshine. No synthetic fragrance, just pure essential oil goodness.
