SMALL-BATCH. THOUGHTFULLY MADE.

Coconut-Free Soap

Finding truly coconut-free soap can be harder than it should be. Coconut oil is used in countless handmade soaps—but we chose a different way. Every Curtis & Kin soap is made without coconut oil or olive oil. Instead, we formulate with babassu oil alongside thoughtfully selected plant oils and butters to create beautiful bars with a rich, satisfying lather. Whether you're avoiding coconut oil, simplifying what touches your skin, or simply looking for thoughtfully made soap, you're in the right place.

A DIFFERENT APPROACH

Why We Formulate Without Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is one of the most common ingredients in handmade soap. Soapmakers often use it because it contributes to a firm bar, cleansing properties and plenty of bubbly lather.

But it isn't the only way to make beautiful soap.

When we developed Curtis & Kin, we wanted to create our formulas differently from the beginning—not simply remove coconut oil from a conventional recipe.

That led us to babassu oil.

Babassu gives us another way to create the cleansing experience and satisfying lather we want while keeping every Curtis & Kin soap free from coconut oil and olive oil.

OUR KEY INGREDIENT

Why Babassu?

One of the first questions people have about soap without coconut oil is whether it can still produce a good lather. It can. Our formulas bring together oils and butters that each play a different role in the finished bar.

Babassu Oil

Babassu oil comes from the kernels of the babassu palm. Its fatty-acid profile makes it particularly useful in soapmaking, where it can contribute to a firm bar and rich, bubbly lather.

Castor Oil

Castor oil helps support and stabilize lather, complementing the other oils in our formulations.

Plant Oils & Butters

Depending on the bar, we pair babassu with thoughtfully selected oils and butters such as kokum butter and safflower oil to create balanced, beautiful bars.

The result is a coconut-oil-free soap that doesn't require coconut oil to deliver the experience you expect from a well-made bar.

GOOD INGREDIENTS MATTER

Why Is Coconut Oil Used in So Much Soap?

Coconut oil is popular among soapmakers because it helps create a firm bar and contributes to a bubbly lather. But it isn't the only way to make beautiful soap. We chose to take a different approach so people looking for soap without coconut oil have another option without giving up the experience of a well-made bar.

Coconut oil is popular in soapmaking because it can contribute hardness, cleansing properties and bubbly lather to a finished bar. However, it isn't the only oil capable of performing those functions, which is one reason we chose to formulate our soaps differently.

People with sensitive skin often pay close attention to the ingredients in the products they use. However, everyone's skin is different, and being coconut-free doesn't automatically make a product appropriate for every skin condition or sensitivity.

If you prefer a simple, unscented option, Kin is a good place to start. Always review the complete ingredient list before using a new product.

No. We don't use those terms interchangeably. Anyone with a diagnosed allergy should review the complete ingredient list of an individual product and follow their healthcare professional's guidance regarding ingredients they need to avoid.

This really works!

I was pretty shocked that this works so well. I am a stinkier human and though I have to apply it a few times a day because I sweat so much, it helps with odor and pit stains. My husband is a pilot so he is in planes all day and he is a big fan as well! I love when I find clean products that support such amazing and strong Christ like women.

worth it!

The moisturizer is the most luxurious facial cream Ive tried. Star quality....and holds "star of the show" status in my night time routine. 10/10 texture is super creamy, light weight and smoothes on my skin like silky buttah. In love 💕 forever fan!

Love the Terrazzo soaps!

We love using the Terrazzo soaps to wash our hands in all of our bathrooms!

lifetime customer

I was intrigued by what these products offered. Clean, natural ingredients to heal and improve skin. And I had to jump in and try. So glad I did! I ordered the moisturizer, soap bar and toner. Each one of these products are high quality and skin is happier for it. Than you!! God bless!!

my skin is glowing!

i cannot hype this up enough. my skin is actually glowing using this. i have had cystic acne since i was 9 and have lots of deep tissue scars. while mine are still visible from years of painful cysts, it has helped even out my skin tone & has made it glow! i’ve only been using it for about 2 weeks now so i’m excited to see how it helps my scaring the more i use it!
