Lately, I find myself trying to pay more attention to the ingredients in my beauty products and looking for cleaner, more natural options where I can.
While I don’t deem myself to be a clean-green ingredient crusader by any means, I do enjoy trying out natural products that can replace some of my more unnaturally formulated brands.
The latest all natural products to enter my home are these gorgeous Noctua soap bars. Infused with essential oils to soften skin and packed with skin-nourishing nutrients, these lovelies do more than just look pretty.

Noctua Soap Co. All Natural Skin Care
Noctua Soap Co. prides itself on making its soaps and night creams with 100% natural ingredients. The brand features three different bars of soap: a Rejuvenation bar, the Fountain of Youth bar (you know I had to try this one!) and the Alpine Lavender bar. I was kindly sent the Fountain of Youth bar and the Alpine Lavender bar to try out and both of them are beautiful, chunky bars (8oz. each) that are full of wonderful ingredients and feel super soft and gentle on the skin when lathered.
Note: These soaps are quite fragranced, so keep this in mind if you are scent-averse when it comes to your beauty products!
The beautifully striped 8oz. Foundation of Youth bar supports cellular rejuvenation for more youthful skin and includes:
–Geranium, an essential oil that acts as a natural astringent to tighten and firm skin
–Palmarosa, an essential oil that enables rapid cellular regeneration
–Green, white and rose clay to naturally detoxify skin.
All Noctua soaps complete a 6-week curing process and are all-natural, vegan, fragrance-free, sulfate-free, paraben-free, preservative-free and can be used for face and body.
Noctua Soap Co. makes their all natural vegan soap in small batches to ensure freshness, so supply may be limited and result in a 6-week lead time that is published online.
Ingredients in the Fountain of Youth bar:
Olea europaea (olive) oil, Cocos nucifera (coconut) oil, Elaeis guineensis (palm) oil, Vitellaria paradoxa (shea) butter, Persea gratissima (avocado) oil, Prunus dulcis (sweet almond) oil, Pelargonium graveolens (geranium) essential oil, Cymbopogon martinii (palmarosa) essential oil, Lavandula angustifolia (40/20 lavender) essential oil, Montmorillonite (French green clay), Kaoline clay (rose), Kaolin clay (white)
Noctua Soaps featured: Alpine Lavender soap (front, left) and Fountain of Youth soap (back, right).
The 8oz. Alpine Lavender Bar is made with a special species of lavender; its essential oil is distilled from lavender cultivated at high elevations – hence the “Alpine” in the title – which preserves a wider range of aromatic and therapeutic properties. Several oils combined with the lavender work to hydrate and smooth skin. While uncommon in the industry, Noctua has a sustainable supply of Alpine Lavender for its small batch products. This soap is 100% natural, vegan, fragrance-free, sulfate-free, paraben-free and preservative-free and can be used for face and body.
Each bar of soap is hand crafted and goes through a 6-week cure process , so supplies are limited.
Ingredients in Alpine Lavender bar:
Olea europaea (olive) oil, Cocos nucifera (coconut) oil, Elaeis guineensis (palm) oil, Vitellaria paradoxa (shea) butter, Persea gratissima (avocado) oil, Prunus dulcis (sweet almond) oil, Lavandula angustifolia (alpine lavender™) essential oil, Rubia cordifolia (madder root) powder
