Bath

The ancient Egyptians bathed religiously with natron and showers or baths in sacred lakes. The Ebers Medical Papyrus from c. 1500 B.C.E. describes animal and plant-based fats and oils that were mixed with alkalines or salts to provide a soap-like substance that the ancient Egyptians used to bathe. Our bath salts are formulated to be identical to ancient Egyptian natron, and our soaps and body washes are also formulated to be similar to the ancient Egyptian soaps to promote the same cleanliness of the ancient Egyptians.

Body Wash

Our body wash is all-natural and blends several oils and butters with a mild but effective liquid soap with no synthetic agents. It provides a cleansing and moisturizing lather.

Instructions: Wet skin in the shower or bath. Apply the desired amount on a washcloth or pouf and lather. Rub in a circular motion and rinse thoroughly. Repeat if desired.

ingredients: Distilled Water, Saponified Olive Oil, Shea Butter, Aloe Vera, Xanthan Gum

Soap

Our soap is handmade from synthetic-free olive oil, Grapeseed oil, castor oil, and coconut oil

Olive oil–based soap nourishes, hydrates, and protects the skin. It helps lock in moisture, soothes irritation, supports healing, and defends against premature aging thanks to its antioxidants.

Core Skin Benefits of Olive Oil Soap

Deep Moisturization
Olive oil contains squalene and vitamin E, which improve the skin’s ability to retain water and stay supple.
Anti-Inflammatory Relief
Natural compounds in olive oil calm redness and irritation, making the soap suitable for sensitive skin and conditions like eczema or psoriasis.
Skin Regeneration & Healing
Polyphenols such as luteolin and apigenin stimulate collagen production and help repair damaged skin, while antimicrobial properties aid wound healing.
Anti-Aging Protection
Rich in antioxidants (vitamin E, vitamin A, and polyphenols), olive oil soap neutralizes free radicals that cause wrinkles and fine lines.
Scar & Stretch Mark Reduction
Oleic and linoleic acids in olive oil may reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks over time.
Gentle Cleansing
Olive oil dissolves oily residues, making the soap effective for removing impurities and even waterproof makeup without stripping natural oils.
Suitable for All Skin Types
Olive oil soap is mild, chemical-free, and safe for babies, sensitive skin, and daily use.

🏺 Historical & Ritual Context

Olive oil soap has been used since ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome as a beauty ritual. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to keep skin healthy, radiant, and youthful without synthetic additives.

Why It Stands Out

Compared to commercial soaps that often contain harsh chemicals, our soap is a natural, antioxidant-rich cleanser that hydrates, heals, and protects. It’s especially beneficial for dry, sensitive, or mature skin, but versatile enough for everyday use.

Instructions: Wet hands and rub into a lather. Massage the lather over the skin before rinsing with warm water.

Ingredients: Saponificated Olive Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Castor Oil, Coconut Oil, Distilled Water

Natron

Natron benefits the skin by cleansing, detoxifying, soothing irritation, and providing gentle exfoliation.

Key Skin Benefits of Natron

Detoxifying & Purifying
- Natron’s alkaline composition (pH ~9.5) helps draw out impurities and toxins from the skin, leaving it refreshed and clean.
- Ancient Egyptians bathed with natron to purify the body and spirit, linking cleanliness with ritual renewal.
Soothing Irritation
- Its natural salts relieve itching, pain, and inflammation from rashes, insect bites, and sunburn.
- The cooling effect of natron paste or bath water calms sensitive or irritated skin.
Gentle Exfoliation
- Natron was used in ancient Egyptian beauty rituals to remove dead skin cells and balance natural oils.
- This mild exfoliation promotes smoother, more radiant skin.
Antimicrobial Properties
- The mineral blend (sodium carbonate, bicarbonate, chloride, sulfate) has antiseptic qualities, protecting against bacteria and desert pollutants.
- It was historically applied to wounds and infections for its cleansing effect.
Softening & Smoothing
- Regular use leaves the skin feeling soft, supple, and rejuvenated, making it a natural beauty aid.

Natron was more than a cosmetic—it was a sacred mineral. Egyptians used it in:

Mummification, to preserve and purify the body.
Daily bathing rituals, blending natron with oils to create soap-like cleansers.
Priestly and noble beauty routines, where natron symbolized spiritual purity and physical renewal.

Its dual role as a ritual purifier and practical skincare agent made natron indispensable in Egyptian life, and today it resonates as a natural, holistic ingredient for wellness and beauty.

Directions: Pour into the bath and allow to dissolve. It can also be mixed with water into a paste and applied directly to the skin.

Ingredients: Sodium Carbonate, Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Sulfate

Egyptian Natron Nile Mud

Provided by Dendera Wellness Resort from Egypt. Extracted from locations where the Nile once flowed, Nile Mud is rich in minerals that help purify, hydrate, and rejuvenate the skin, making it a prized natural ingredient for beauty and wellness.

Key Benefits of Nile Mud for Skin

Deep Cleansing & Detoxification
- The fine particles of mud act like tiny sponges, absorbing excess oil, toxins, and impurities from pores.
- This cleansing action leaves the skin feeling refreshed, balanced, and free of buildup.
Exfoliation & Texture Renewal
- Silt gently removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and improves skin texture.
- Regular use promotes a smoother, more radiant complexion.
Toning & Tightening
- As silt dries on the skin, it creates a mild astringent effect, temporarily tightening pores and reducing redness.
- This helps refine the skin’s appearance and tone.
Hydration & Moisture Retention
- Silt has hygroscopic properties, meaning it attracts and holds water molecules.
- This provides sustained hydration, plumping skin cells and reducing fine lines.
Mineral Nourishment
- Nile silt is naturally rich in quartz, organic matter, and trace minerals that nourish and protect the skin.
- These elements support the skin’s barrier function and overall vitality.
Anti-Acne & Protective Effects
- Its absorbent and antibacterial qualities help prevent acne and infections, keeping the skin clear.
- By reducing excess oil and impurities, it creates a healthier environment for the skin.

The Nile was the lifeblood of Egypt, and its fertile mud was not only vital for agriculture but also used in cosmetic and healing practices. Applying Nile Mud to the skin symbolized renewal, purification, and connection to the river’s divine abundance—a ritual of beauty and spirituality that continues to inspire modern wellness.
