Bravio means wild and untamed in Portuguese.

Soap began with the simplest alchemy: fat, water, and ash. This bar carries that ancient idea forward, pairing activated charcoal with the resinous scent of pine. The charcoal gives the bar its deep blue-black color, while fir needle oil brings the fresh, green scent of a pine forest. A trace of patchouli adds warmth beneath the green scent, making the wash feel earthy, elemental, and deeply refreshing.

All Wildly Virgin olive oil soaps are handmade and cold-processed in Portugal's Dão region.

Ingredients

Sodium Olivate, Water, Sodium Cocoate, Sodium Palmate, Sodium Ricinoleate, Sodium Sunflowerseedate, Charcoal Powder, Abies Sibirica Needle Oil, Pogostemon Cablin (Patchouli) Leaf Oil, Glycerin.

How to Use

Work into a lather with warm water on wet hands or body, then rinse. Between uses, keep the bar on a draining dish, out of standing water; a dry bar lasts much longer. The charcoal may leave a temporary grey tint on light-colored washcloths; it washes out. For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes.

Producer

Filipa Monteiro and Vítor Rodrigues make our soaps by hand in their natural cosmetics workshop in Viseu, in the heart of Portugal's Dão region. Each soap is cold-processed: oils and lye are mixed without added heat and poured into large blocks, which are then cut into bars and stamped. The olive oil, beeswax, and honey come from the Dão.
