Ingredients Glossary

A straightforward guide to the oils, botanicals, clays, and natural ingredients we use across Panta Rei Made soaps and body care. Each ingredient contributes to the feel, texture, or visual character of the product—described simply and without medical claims.


A Note About Natural Colorants

Some of our soaps include plant powders and clays such as indigo, turmeric, cocoa, madder root, spinach, beetroot, and more. These can tint the lather slightly—golden, green, blue, or earthy tones—especially in the first few uses. This is completely normal and rinses cleanly off skin and surfaces. It’s simply the natural pigment doing what plant powders naturally do.
