Purify
Deep cleanse and barrier repair. Finnish pine tar at 5% — calibrated for function, not drama. Activated charcoal draws out what the pore holds. Hemp seed oil and vitamin E rebuild the ceramide layer after. The bar that cleans without compromise.
Most pine tar soaps overdo the tar. At 15–20%, it overwhelms. SAMMAL Purify carries tar at 5% — the precise concentration where antimicrobial function works without assaulting the nose or stripping the skin. Activated charcoal does the deep work: pore-clearing, detoxifying, and darkening the bar to near black. Then the V2 superfat blend steps in. Hemp seed oil is one of the highest natural sources of linoleic acid — the omega-6 fatty acid essential for ceramide synthesis, which is the mortar between skin cells. Vitamin E tocopherol stays on the skin film after rinsing. Fat-soluble. Rinse-resistant. Antioxidant. Cloudberry seed oil adds omega-3 and omega-6 conditioning that competitors using palm oil cannot match. The result: a bar that deep-cleans and then actively repairs what it stripped. 8-week cold-process cure. No palm oil. Full label transparency.

Ainesosat — Ingredients
Antimicrobial. Skin-calming. Heritage ingredient used in Finnish skin care for centuries.
At 5% concentration, pine tar delivers antimicrobial benefit and the traditional terva story without the harshness reported in high-concentration bars (15–20%). It calibrates function over folklore.
Pore-clearing. Draws out impurities at the surface level.
Pre-dispersed in water before batching to prevent dry pockets. Creates the near-black bar colour — entirely natural, no dyes.
Barrier repair after deep cleanse. Added as superfat after trace — does not saponify.
Hemp seed oil is exceptionally high in linoleic acid (omega-6), which is a required building block for ceramide synthesis in the stratum corneum. The 2018 PubMed study on cold-process soap confirmed 86–99% of polyunsaturated fatty acids remain unsaponified in the superfat fraction — this oil stays on the skin, not in the soap.
Omega-3 and omega-6 conditioning. Added as superfat after trace.
Cloudberry grows wild above the Finnish Arctic Circle. The seed oil is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids that survive saponification and stay on skin as free conditioning agents.
Fat-soluble antioxidant. Stays on skin after rinsing. Added as superfat after trace.
Vitamin E is fat-soluble and rinse-resistant. It remains in the free oil film on skin post-wash, where it acts as an antioxidant barrier repair agent. Also extends bar shelf life by slowing oxidation of the polyunsaturated superfat oils.
