Digital download · 1 file · available the moment you pay

A soft, delicate bar inspired by cherry blossom season, with a creamy lather and a naturally rosy finish. Sakura blossom powder gives the bar its signature botanical character, while rose clay creates a stable, gentle color.

Made using heat transfer, this recipe also skips the separate oil-melting step, making the process simpler and more efficient.
