Crate 61 Organics plant‑based cold‑process bar soap — Canadian Maple scent, handmade in Canada, olive & shea conditioning

Crate 61 Canadian Maple is a handmade, cold‑process, plant‑based bar soap crafted in small Toronto batches using premium oils and natural maple aroma.

Made in Canada from 100% plant-derived ingredients, this Crate 61 bar soap blends traditional cold‑press soapmaking with thoughtfully sourced oils, clays and essential extracts to create a gentle face and body cleanser. The recipe relies on olive, coconut, shea and avocado oils for conditioning, while kaolin clay helps refine texture without stripping skin. No synthetic fragrances, dyes or preservatives are used — fragrance and color come from essential oils and natural mineral or plant pigments.

How does this soap clean without harsh chemicals?

The cold‑process method turns oils into a stable soap that naturally cleanses while retaining glycerin, a humectant beneficial to skin. Crate 61 avoids sulfates, parabens, phthalates and silicones, so the cleansing action comes from saponified plant oils and a mild clay rather than aggressive surfactants.

• Saponified olive, coconut and shea oils provide balanced lather and emollience.
• Kaolin clay refines the bar's texture and gently lifts impurities.
• Natural glycerin is retained to help skin feel hydrated post‑wash.

What does Canadian Maple mean for scent and ingredients?

Canadian Maple indicates the bar’s natural aroma profile inspired by maple notes, achieved through premium essential oils and natural flavor extracts rather than synthetic perfume. The scent is designed to be subtle and layered, complementing the nourishing oils without overpowering sensitive noses.

• Natural maple-inspired aroma from botanical extracts and essential oils.
• No synthetic fragrances, micas, or artificial dyes used.
• Small-batch formulation ensures consistent, hand-checked scent strength.

Will this soap suit both face and body routines?

Yes — the balanced oil blend produces a mild bar suitable for face and body when used as a regular cleanser. It cleans without excessive drying, but as with any facial product, patch testing is wise for very reactive skin.

• Olive oil and shea butter offer gentle conditioning for delicate facial skin.
• Coconut oil contributes to a stable, pleasant lather for body use.
• Suitable for daily use; follow with your preferred moisturizer if needed.

How should I store and use a cold‑process bar for best results?

To extend the life of a handcrafted bar, keep it draining between uses and avoid prolonged contact with standing water. A well‑ventilated soap dish or wire rack will preserve firmness, fragrance and overall performance.

• Allow the bar to dry on a draining tray between uses to prevent softening.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
• Rotate bars if you have multiple scents to let each cure fully after first use.

Who is this for: Crate 61 Canadian Maple cold‑process soap is made for people who prefer plant-based, minimally processed skincare and value transparency in sourcing. It appeals to those seeking a naturally scented, glycerin‑rich bar for everyday face and body care, shoppers choosing Canadian handmade goods, and gift buyers looking for an eco‑conscious, artisan soap option.
