ALTR creates hand-made bar soap with local, wildcrafted botanicals. All of the main botanical elements are grown or responsibly wildcrafted by us and then brewed into a nourishing infusion that acts as a base for each bar.
Our soap is 100% natural, made with organic ingredients, palm oil free and vegan. We make each product with great care and hope that our soap will inspire people to take care of themselves and reincorporate the natural world back into their daily rituals
Pine & Charcoal
Locally wildcrafted pine comes together with charcoal to refresh and purify. As an astringent, pine hardens proteins on the surface of the skin, preventing excessive oil from accumulating in the pores upon drying. Charcoal’s meso porous structure allows it to absorb several hundred times its own weight in impurities. This is our strongest, most deeply cleansing soap.
Ingredients: organic olive oil, organic coconut oil, organic shea butter, avocado oil, sodium hydroxide, organic castor oil, pine infusion, charcoal, pine essential oil, cedar essential oil, vetiver essential oil, lime essential oil
Plantago Major
A locally available panacea, ALTR harvests its own plantain and couples it with mint in this healing and rejuvenating soap. The allantoin in plantain softly conditions skin by regenerating tissue. The menthol in mint cools the muscles and the essential oil stimulates the mind. This soap has been designed to be gently up lifting.
