This bar of soap is named after the essay "There are Two Deserts" in the 1937 opening issue of Desert Magazine by Randall Henderson, the editor. The gist of the essay is that there are two deserts: the one the passerby sees from the car and misunderstands and criticizes for its extremes, its harshness, and its barrenness. Then there's the other desert, the one beloved by its dwellers —the one that teems with diverse plants and animals, expansive landscapes, and unrivaled sunsets.

"To those who come with friendliness, it gives friendship. To those who come with courage, it gives a renewed sense of character. Those seeking relaxation find release from the world of man-made troubles."

This is intended as a tribute to our longtime home and our high desert community of Joshua Tree, California.

    I have only used Two Deserts soap since discovering it over 4 years ago.

    I have a traveling bar that comes with me on all of my personal and business trips. Hotels don't usually have great soap and most are very drying. It's such a treat to have a little bit of home when you're on the road. And for it to be the thing that gets me clean and moisturized, I mean, my skin couldn't ask for more.

    worth the splurge

    surprisingly moisturizing for older skin - with a calming fragrance - a moment of aromatherapy in chaotic times.

    Beautiful bar of soap

    I admit that I have a bit of a soap obsession, so of course I had to get the Two Deserts soap. It did not disappoint. The smell is absolutely heavenly. It has a beautiful lather and the package is so stylish I did not want to open it.

    Just love this clean soap that smells like the desert, where I live on a rainy day after the dust has settled and the trees let their scents out.

FAQ

A plant-based soap is made of plant extracts, oils, and essential oil fragrances. Conventional bars of soap often use synthetic or chemical-based dyes, fragrances, and ingredients.

In our opinion, this is a big YES. The key function of a bar of soap is to lather and cleanse. Our plant-based soap achieves this through extracts of olive and coconut rather than sulfates or lye (usually labeled as sodium hydroxide). Why use plant-based? It’s effective as cleansing, is more gentle with your skin, and hydrating, the runoff of water after cleansing is cleaner for the environment.

There are a number of ways to make soap, plant-based really just refers to the ingredients you are using to make your bar. We work with a family-owned factory to create our triple-milled plant-based bars of soap. Triple-milling, or French milling, is a process that creates a very firm, lasting, uniform bar of soap that won’t get gummy and lose its potency of fragrance of sudysing ability like some hand-made bars are prone to. It’s also less prone to cracking and drying out. After the soap ingredients are mixed, they get passed through smooth stainless steel rollers. Then, it is pushed through three metal mesh screens (hence the triple milling name). It looks like pushing playdough through a press in a way, and this process forces out excess water, creating that sturdy, good-looking bar of soap at the other end.

Olive Oil is a timeless ingredient for soap-making. It helps create a firmer soap with a rich, gentle lather. Olive oil acts as an antioxidant-rich emollient, offering major hydration. The phytosterol compounds promote microcirculation and help soften skin while cleansing.
