Codex Labs - Bia - Balancing Bar Soap (120 g)

Product detailed description

A helping of creamy shea butter provides luxurious nourishment for the body and softens the skin. The soap also contains the proprietary BiaComplex™ made of such Irish herbal treasures as heartsease, immortelle, calendula, or hibiscus. The carefully selected extracts of responsibly grown plants keep the skin hydrated and the microbiome happy. You can enjoy these luxury soap suds even if you are vegan, and you are sure to appreciate the minimalist compostable packaging and zero carbon footprint of this soap.

How is a zero-carbon footprint soap made?

Cold-processing is a huge relief for nature, as it minimises energy usage. One-time moulds are not used at CodexBeauty Labs and they found a way to upcycle unused material and use them as gentle exfoliating particles. All ingredients come from eco-friendly conditions, mostly from local meadows, farms, and gardens, which means they are not transported over long distances. Last but not least, there is also the minimalist packaging made of soy wax paper, which is entirely compostable. And to make a truly neutral (or negative) carbon footprint, the company plants trees to compensate for any negative effects of its production.

The secret of the hydrating Bia collection

This collection draws its hydrating and regenerating powers from the herbs that come from pure Irish nature. Ireland is home to a number of indigenous plant species. The combination of an optimal climate, low population density and pollution create ideal conditions for many medicinal plants, such as meadowsweet, comfrey, nettle, elder, or bog myrtle.

The original formulas for using these plants can be traced back to ancient Celtic tribes. The forgotten ancestral wisdom is now being revived with scientific discoveries, such as the ones used by Codex Beauty Labs, among others. They support fair trade, cooperate with local organic farmers whose cultivation and harvesting methods meet all the standards, and so they produce safe, efficient, and sustainable ingredients.

Bia means food in Gaelic, so it is no coincidence that this collection brings the best quality nourishment to your skin. The effective patented BiaComplex™ helps the skin stay hydrated and supports skin microbiome. It retains the needed moisture in the skin by improving its osmotic function and creating a protective film on the surface. Every herb from the mix has a different effect on the skin, but they complement each other and work in effective synergy. 

How can you use this soap?

• The same as any other soap. :) When applied to wet skin, the soap produces rich lather. Rinse it off and enjoy the aromatherapeutic experience of herbal fragrance.
• Put it somewhere to dry after use.
