Finnish Salmiakki Soap

This soap is handmade with a glycerin-rich and 100% plant-based soap base. The soap is partially colored with activated charcoal and infused with the distinctive scent of Finnish salmiakki candy, achieved using star anise essential oil.

Activated Charcoal

Activated charcoal is a highly absorbent ingredient, making it excellent for skin and pore cleansing. In addition to being a great natural colorant for my soaps, it also functions as an effective pore-cleansing agent!

Glycerin

Glycerin is an important moisturizer in skincare products. Corpse Paint soaps are rich in glycerin, making them less drying for the skin compared to regular market soaps. Some of our customers have even found relief for their chronic dry hands thanks to Corpse Paint soaps!

Star Anise Essential Oil

Star anise essential oil delivers the bold, spicy aroma reminiscent of Finnish salmiakki candy, evoking nostalgia and warmth. Known for its calming properties, this essential oil is often used in aromatherapy to reduce stress and promote relaxation. In skincare, it helps to cleanse and rejuvenate the skin, adding a touch of luxury to your daily routine.

How to make a bar soap last long?

Store soap on a dry surface/ well drained soap dish for longer use. Do not keep in direct sunlight or hot temperature.

Does a soap bar expire? Can I keep soap as a decoration, or should I use it right away?

The moisturizing qualities, silky lather, and natural fragrance of these soaps are divine—and at their very best when the soap is fresh. Over time, the functional aspects and scent will gradually diminish if the soap is unused and exposed to air for extended periods (typically six months or more). The soap will also shrink slightly in size.

For this reason, I recommend starting to use the soap soon after removing the protective film. However, if you prefer to keep the soap as a decorative element in your bathroom, feel free to do so! The soap will never truly go bad or rot as long as it's kept dry and stored away from heat and direct sunlight. Even if you decide to use it years later, it will still be perfectly fine—just a bit harder and less moisturizing than at its prime.

Note about the soap packaging

I want to ensure the soaps arrive in the best condition, no matter where in the world they are shipped. Therefore, each soap is sealed in airtight plastic wrap. Please recycle the plastic with other packaging plastic or energy waste.
