Moong powder gives a grain-based scrub; suits oily skin particularly well.

Reviewed by PurePicked

An exfoliating soap on a base of coconut oil and wild forest beeswax, with moong — green gram — powder as the scrub, jasmine essential oil as the lead scent, and neroli and grapefruit lifting it. 135g. Handmade in small batches by women in Karikkadav Village, Kerala.

Moong powder is the gentler end of physical exfoliation: a fine grain rather than a coarse grit, which is why this bar suits oily skin without scouring it. It is a long-standing Indian cleanser in its own right, used on skin well before it appeared in soap. The base is declared — coconut oil named on the pack — and the beeswax is a by-product of the collectives' own honey harvest. No sulphates, phthalates, parabens or palm oil. It is still a scrub, so not for broken or reactive skin.

What to look for in Natural Soap?

Prefer true saponified soap over synthetic-detergent (syndet) bars.

Check it's palm-oil-free (or certified sustainable palm).

Look for essential oils, not 'fragrance/parfum'.

Avoid SLS/SLES, parabens and phthalates.

Natural exfoliants (grains, petals) over plastic microbeads.
