Basil Bar by Mater is a cold-process bar soap infused with basil and mint essential oils — herbaceous and equally popular with gardeners as with culinary types. Cold-pressed olive, coconut, avocado, sweet almond, and castor oils form a nourishing base, while poppy seeds, spirulina, and French green clay provide gentle physical exfoliation. Basil and peppermint essential oils carry the bright, green, and unmistakably kitchen-garden scent. Why You’ll Love It: Mater was founded in Brooklyn with a focus on honest materials, traditional soap-making, and the intention to make meaningful experiences out of the acts of daily life. Their products have been highlighted by publications such as New York Magazine and Architectural Digest for their ability to sit comfortably in considered spaces. Size: 142g
