THE NAME
Afon means "river". Say it "AV-on" (the single "f" sounds like "v").
SCENT AND FEEL
Lemongrass, rosemary and mint, coloured with nettle. The lasting scent is a subtle, rounded mint with a slight lemony tinge, not toothpaste mint. Rosemary adds depth. Made with avocado oil, coconut oil and cocoa butter. A creamy, rich lather that feels almost like a lotion. Leaves skin feeling clean and soft.

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between the tallow and vegan bars?
A: Tallow bars are tallow, coconut and sweet almond oil. Vegan bars are avocado oil, coconut oil and cocoa butter. Both have the same scent and both feel soft after washing; the vegan bar feels a little more like a lotion.
Q: Is this soap OK for sensitive skin?
A: Everyone's skin is different, so we can't promise how it will suit you. The full ingredients are listed below. We suggest a patch test before first use.
Q: Is Afon a strong mint?
A: No. It is a subtle, rounded mint with a lemony edge, not an in-your-face toothpaste mint.
