Superfatted 15%.

Babassu, Olive and Castor Oils

• Organic Babassu Oil — Babassu comes from a South American palm with a long history of regional use. Moreover, its lauric and myristic acids help create abundant bubbles and bar hardness. Consequently, it provides a bubbly foundation that complements the richer ingredients.
• Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil — Mediterranean soapmakers have valued olive oil for centuries. Furthermore, its oleic-rich profile contributes mild, conditioning characteristics and creamy lather. Therefore, olive oil balances the more cleansing characteristics of babassu.
• Organic Castor Oil — Castor oil contains an unusually high concentration of ricinoleic acid. Consequently, soapmakers value it for supporting dense, stable lather. Additionally, it helps give the lather a rich, substantial texture.

Sacha Inchi, Jojoba and Avocado Oils

• Organic Sacha Inchi Oil — Native to South America, sacha inchi has a long history of traditional use. Moreover, its oil contains high levels of alpha-linolenic and linoleic fatty acids. Therefore, it contributes a lightweight, conditioning quality to the formula.
• Organic Jojoba Oil — Jojoba is technically a liquid wax rather than a conventional triglyceride oil. Traditionally, Indigenous peoples of the Sonoran Desert used jojoba in skin and hair preparations. Furthermore, its wax esters contribute a distinctive silky quality to this soap.
• Organic Avocado Oil — Avocado oil contains abundant oleic acid alongside palmitic and linoleic fatty acids. Additionally, it contains naturally occurring tocopherols and other plant compounds. Consequently, it contributes rich conditioning character to the formula.

Ucuuba and Cupuaçu Butters

• Ucuuba Butter — Ucuuba butter comes from seeds of Virola trees native to the Amazon region. Its distinctive fatty-acid profile helps support bar firmness and creamy lather. Moreover, Amazonian communities have traditionally used parts of the ucuuba tree for various purposes.
• Cupuaçu Butter — Cupuaçu comes from an Amazonian tree related to cacao. Its seed butter contains oleic and stearic acids alongside other fatty acids. Consequently, it adds creamy richness while complementing the harder ucuuba butter.

Bentonite Clay and Fine Pumice

• Bentonite Clay — Bentonite is an absorbent mineral clay that soapmakers use for texture and slip. Moreover, it creates a silky feel within the lather. Therefore, it complements the physical exfoliation provided by fine pumice.
• Face-Grade Fine Pumice — Pumice is a naturally porous volcanic material. When finely ground, it provides physical exfoliation that helps remove surface buildup and rough-feeling skin. Additionally, the fine grade creates controlled scrubbing without the coarse texture of larger pumice particles.
• Sodium Hydroxide (Lye) — True soap requires sodium hydroxide for saponification. During this reaction, lye combines with fats and oils to create soap. Additionally, the process naturally produces glycerin.

Essential Oils in We Live Four Thieves Goat Milk Soap

Rosemary and Eucalyptus Essential Oils

• Rosemary Essential Oil — Rosemary provides a fresh, penetrating herbal aroma with woody nuances. Traditionally, Mediterranean cultures have valued rosemary in bathing, aromatic, and herbal preparations. Moreover, its recognizable fragrance creates the herbal heart of this blend.
• Eucalyptus Essential Oil — Eucalyptus contributes a strong, crisp, fresh aroma. Traditionally, Aboriginal Australians used eucalyptus species in various botanical preparations. Furthermore, its penetrating fragrance creates an invigorating contrast with the warm spice oils.

Lemon, Clove and Cinnamon Leaf

• Lemon Essential Oil — Lemon provides bright, clean citrus character that lifts the heavier herbal and spicy notes. Additionally, citrus oils have a long history in perfumery and aromatic preparations. Consequently, lemon adds freshness to the fragrance.
• Clove Essential Oil — Clove provides a powerful warm, sweet, spicy aroma. Historically, clove has been prized throughout Asia and international spice trade routes. Moreover, its rich aromatic character gives this Four Thieves-inspired blend warmth and depth.
• Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil — Cinnamon leaf offers a warm, spicy, woody aroma that differs from cinnamon bark oil. Traditionally, cinnamon has held an important place in culinary, aromatic, and botanical practices. Here, cinnamon leaf creates a warming finish beneath rosemary, eucalyptus, and lemon.

Goat Milk Benefits in We Live Four Thieves Goat Milk Soap

Fresh goat milk contributes to the dense, creamy character of this richly superfatted bar. Moreover, it naturally contains milk fats, proteins, lactose, vitamins, and minerals.

Goat milk fat contains fatty acids including capric, caprylic, lauric, myristic, palmitic, stearic, and oleic acids. However, exact proportions naturally vary. Together, these fats contribute to the soap’s overall fatty-acid profile and creamy lather.

Additionally, goat milk naturally provides vitamin A and several B vitamins, including riboflavin. It also supplies minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and zinc.

Meanwhile, lactose and other milk components contribute to lather characteristics. Therefore, goat milk complements the premium oils, Amazonian butters, clay, and pumice in this distinctive body soap.

Why We Live Soap Is Superfatted at 15%

A 15% superfat makes We Live an exceptionally richly superfatted bar.

Superfat refers to oils and fats beyond the amount the calculated sodium hydroxide can fully saponify. Therefore, the recipe uses less lye than required to saponify all calculated fats and oils.

Consequently, some unsaponified fats remain within the finished soap. This high superfat complements the formula’s exfoliating pumice and creates a rich, creamy cleansing experience.

The Legend Behind We Live Four Thieves Soap

The Four Thieves story comes from European folklore surrounding outbreaks of plague. Different versions describe thieves who supposedly protected themselves with aromatic herbs or vinegar preparations while robbing homes or bodies.

Over time, herbal traditions developed many versions of “Four Thieves” blends. Recipes vary considerably, so there is no single historical formula.

We Live draws fragrance inspiration from that botanical tradition through rosemary, eucalyptus, lemon, clove, and cinnamon leaf. The story inspires the aromatic character rather than representing a disease-prevention claim.

How to Use We Live Four Thieves Soap

Wet the bar and your skin with warm water. Next, work the soap between wet hands or onto a washcloth to create creamy lather.

For more exfoliation, gently glide the bar over wet body skin using light pressure. However, avoid aggressive scrubbing because pumice provides physical exfoliation.

Then, rinse thoroughly with clean water. Finally, place the bar on a well-draining soap dish and allow it to dry between uses.

Avoid the eye area and irritated or broken skin. Because the bar contains pumice and warming aromatic oils, use it primarily as a body soap.
