New Moon
The one night a month the sky keeps nothing back — no moon, just the depth behind the depth you usually see.
the Milky Way over the North Cascades — full bleed
The subject
Far from city light, a new moon — by its very absence — leaves a darkness pure and peculiar, the kind where the vastness of the stars naturally captures your imagination. There's more sky than you remembered. The dark isn't empty; it's full, and it's been there the whole time, waiting for the glow to drop away.
In our New Moon soap, star anise shines through a darkness provided by activated carbon. Carbon forms the basis of all known life and is, quite literally, star dust — forged in stars and scattered across the sky you're looking at. The bar holds both: the black, and the small bright thing coming through it.
In the bar
Every ingredient earns its place. Nothing here is “fragrance.”
