Beyond my signature soaps, I formulate fresh face creams, body lotions, and bath salts in my studio. Every jar is made in micro-batches to ensure potency and freshness.

About Beyond Soap: Creams, Salts & More

Since I formulate my creams and lotions in micro-batches, I am able to tweak the oil-to-water ratio to suit the current Bangalore weather. This means your moisturizer is never too heavy for a humid day or too light for a dry spell, ensuring it absorbs perfectly into your skin every time.

Transitioning from soap to lotion-making brought a steep learning curve. Unlike the cold process soap method that creates a solid bar, making body creams and face lotions is about precise emulsification. I work with high-quality butters like shea and cocoa, blending them with plant oils to create stable emulsions that do not separate.

Because I do not use heavy industrial preservatives, my batches are intentionally small. This is a practical trade-off. It keeps the botanical nutrients active and fresh, but it means I cannot stock massive inventories. If you visit my Shanti Nagar studio or order online, you are getting a product made recently, not something that has been sitting on a warehouse shelf for months.

My deodorant creams are a personal favorite because they rely on natural clays and powders to neutralize odor without blocking your pores. Similarly, my emulsified scrubs exfoliate while moisturizing, leaving behind a protective layer that often removes the need for extra lotion post-shower. Whether you are looking for a custom gift hamper or a simple face cream, I treat every formulation with the same scientific rigor as my signature soaps.

Hi, I'm Aruna. My studio in Shanti Nagar is where I trade my soap molds for beakers to mix up these lotions and creams. I love the chemistry of emulsions just as much as the art of soap-making.
