Size

Forest Post's Sweet Basil with Aloe is a handmade beeswax soap scented with sweet basil and enriched with aloe, made in small batches by Adivasi women's collectives in central Kerala.

The beeswax comes from the same wild forest hives that supply Forest Post's honey, so a by-product of the harvest becomes soap. Beeswax gives a harder, longer-lasting bar that leaves a light, breathable film on skin rather than stripping it. No synthetic colour or perfume is claimed. Beeswax alone cannot make soap, so base oils and an alkali are present; Forest Post has not yet published the full list. 115g.

Why we picked it

  • Beeswax is a genuine by-product of the collectives' own honey harvest, not a bought-in base.
  • Handmade in small batches with income staying in the community.
  • The undisclosed saponification base is the one thing keeping this from a clean verdict.
Buying guide

What to look for in Natural Soap?

Beeswax alone cannot make soap — if a maker names only beeswax, ask what the base oils and alkali are.
Beeswax in soap gives a harder, longer-lasting bar and leaves a light breathable film rather than stripping skin.
Exfoliating bars with coffee grounds are genuinely abrasive; not for facial or broken skin.
Cosmetics in India sit under BIS and the Cosmetic Rules, not FSSAI — do not expect food-style labelling.

Questions people ask

What is this soap made of?

Beeswax from wild forest hives, scented with sweet basil and enriched with aloe. Beeswax alone cannot make soap, so base oils and an alkali are present, but Forest Post has not published them yet. We are chasing the full list.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Aloe suits sensitive or sun-exposed skin. However, the full ingredient list is not published, so if you need a full ingredient list before you buy, wait until it is.

How do I make the bar last?

Keep it on a draining dish between uses. Handmade bars soften if they sit in water.

Who makes it?

Adivasi women's collectives in central Kerala. The beeswax comes from the same wild hives that supply Forest Post's honey.
