Cold Process Soap Bars

Rooted in one of the earliest known methods of soapmaking, MAE Cold-Process Soap honors tradition while redefining what a modern bar can be. We chose this time-honored technique because it allows for the cleanest ingredients, the purest botanicals, and a bar of unmatched quality. After months of testing and perfecting our recipe, we created a formula - and a form -that we truly believe in.

Guided by thoughtful ideation and industrial design, each bar features our signature dual-sided, interlocking shape: one side naturally exfoliates, while the other deeply moisturizes. Designed to fit ergonomically in the palm of your hand, this one-of-a-kind “door knob” silhouette elevates a simple ritual through intuitive function and sculptural beauty.

Every bar is individually poured using custom 3D molds over a three-day period, then cured for 4–5 weeks—turned and flipped by hand to ensure an even, gentle hardening. Once fully cured, each bar is shaved, polished, and stamped to achieve its refined, tactile finish.

Scented only with steam-diffused essential oils, our formulas rely on ingredients you can read and understand: matcha green tea butter, coconut, shea butter, olive, rice bran, sweet almond, and castor oils—plus locally sourced Oregon dulse seaweed for added minerals and skin-loving nutrients.

From the purity of our ingredients to the precision of our process, every MAE bar is crafted with intention. A return to heritage, elevated through design.
