You can feel the quality and care that has gone in to the development of this body bar. I was delighted by the positive change in general condition of my skin before application even after only a few days. Highly recommend!

Nordic Forest Microbe | Blackcurrant | Chia
Või means butter in Estonian… we named this beautiful body lotion bar after it’s luxurious blend of skin nourishing organic butters and oils, formulated together into a full moon shape for daily forest bathing, skin soothing and microbiome balancing.
A unique indoor forest bathing experience for your skin. This special body lotion bar contains 4% humus extract – Reconnecting Nature™, a scientifically-proven inactivated microbe extract ingredient to help condition and support both the microbiome and the natural biodiversity found in healthy skin.
It contains all the good dirt we are missing from our daily overly sanitised lives, humus extract mimics the diverse microbes of the forest communities our ancestors lived surrounded by in abundance. Rich, healing earth.
With reference to our humus extract “Exposure for as little as two weeks can improve the biodiversity of a human living in a city” Heikki Hyöty, MD, PhD, Professor of Virology at Tampere University, Co-Founder of Uute Scientific Oy (Reconnecting Nature™)
Excellent for struggling, compromised and sensitive skins
Recommended for all dry or combination skin types
Suitable for vegans & cruelty free
Fragrance free
We support social change and reforestation – 1% of every sale will be donated to TreeSisters via Work for Good
Please Note : We are currently out of stock of our mushroom box packaging, every single one is grown to order and we’re working hard to get them back in stock as soon as possible. In the meantime, your lotion bars will still be wrapped up in compostable greaseproof paper as usual and sent out with a product card instead of a box. Sorry for any inconvenience.
The moisturising bar has been a revelation. It soothes and deeply hydrates my skin whilst leaving no trace of grease on the surface of my skin. It’s a miracle. I’ve moisturised my skin all of my life and have never had that experience. My skin feels so nourished, I’m hooked!

Use daily on dry or ideally damp skin. This bar is designed to soften at body temperature, so apply directly onto your skin in downward strokes. Massage in. The most effective way for your skin to absorb the lotion bar is to massage in the direction of hair growth. You’ll see the speckles of our forest microbe as you apply it.

I have been using this for 2 weeks now, I can’t tell you the difference it has made! I try and use straight out of the shower as the moisture and warmth of my skin helps its melt and glide, if my skin is too dry it needs a little extra help to warm and melt (no bother though) it doesn’t have a particular smell, I am thoroughly enjoying the results after just 2 weeks Alice is very clever in using all these natural ingredients! Am super excited for future products

I’ve been following Alice’s journey for a while and couldn’t wait to get hold of this bar. The whole experience, from opening my parcel and seeing the beautiful considered packaging, to using this dark solid bar was very special. The bar applied easily on to my skin, from fingers to toes. Giving you just enough to fully moisturise an area without any greasiness and excess rubbing. My body has absorbed the lot! No plastic bottles and no wasted product, thank you Alice x

Using this bar became a ritual, it was even great for my healing tattoo. Love the smell, is woody and calming. I love that the packaging is all eco/biodegradable. Absorbed really well and non sticky, made my skin beautifully soft.
