Nine 1.5 oz sample bars. ~5 showers each.

Our 9 bar discovery box is built to experience all our bars have to offer at a fraction of the cost.

Black Altar makes nine bars hand made by 20 year soap artisans. Our discovery set included every bar we make, sample size, $2 an ounce. Some quiet and unscented. Some textured and awakening.

All bars are made by hand, the old way. The glycerin stays in the bar, so your skin doesn’t feel stripped. Each of our recipes are designed, crafted and tested before being hand-poured our partners to ensure highest of quality, premium scent and experience.

Try every bar. If it doesn’t change something about how showering feels, we refund you. Keep what you didn’t love. Pass it to a friend.

Leave the grime, keep the shine.
