Magnificent, green and global

"This bar has good balance—it's woody, fresh, and spicy."

Thierry Masson, La Rochelle, France

 

Fragrant Creation

When the Missouri Botanical Garden asked us to formulate an exclusive bar honoring its 150th anniversary, we crafted Shaw's Garden soap, a unique herbal, and peppery soap.

Missouri Botanical Garden

"Woody, Fresh, and Spicy"

We tested many blends of plant oils to develop the bar's sophisticated fragrance. When we were finally satisfied, we sent a bar to perfumer Thierry Masson of La Rochelle, France, to evaluate the scent. He wrote back enthusiastically. "This bar has good balance—it's woody, fresh, and spicy."

Henry Shaw

While the Garden is locally called "Shaw's Garden," Henry Shaw named it the Missouri Botanical Garden when it opened to the public in 1859.

All Plant Ingredients

Each ingredient of the soap reflects the Garden's mission to discover and share knowledge about plants and their environment.

Lavender Essential Oil

To remember the Garden's founder, Henry Shaw, we selected a popular scent from his Victorian era, lavender, as a familiar note in the soap's luscious bouquet.

Cedar

To suggest Missouri, we added cedarwood essential oil with its resinous aroma.

Katrayfay

To recognize the Garden's preservation of biodiversity worldwide, we chose katrafay, Cedrelopsis grevei, a little-known essential oil from Madagascar with a captivating smell. Vibrant black peppercorn oil adds the finishing note in our Shaw's Garden bar.

Nettle 

The natural green color of the bar comes from powdered dried leaves of nettle plants. Nettle is a vitamin-rich herb found wild all over the world.

Moisturizing

Like all of our bars, Shaw's Garden will pamper your skin with moisturizing emollients—sweet almond oil in this case.
