Radical Disclosure. Plain English.

Every current KGL Skin bar begins with a named soap base and a purpose-selected plant or mineral material. We publish the complete ingredient declaration—not a shortened “hero ingredient” list.

Plant-focused does not mean hiding unfamiliar names. The full declaration includes the soap salts, water, humectants, surfactants, stabilizers, mineral-control ingredients, and signature materials that make each bar dependable.

HOW TO READ A SOAP FORMULA

Soap salts such as sodium laurate, sodium stearate, sodium oleate, sodium myristate, and sodium shea butterate create the cleansing structure. Glycerin, sorbitol, and propylene glycol support processing, bar feel, and humectancy. Sodium chloride helps bar structure. Citric acid, sodium citrate, and chelating ingredients help manage formula consistency and stability. A familiar ingredient can have a useful role without making the finished rinse-off bar a treatment for a skin condition.

MAROVEL — DAILY MATTE-WHITE CLEANSING BAR

Why it exists: a straightforward matte-white bar for a regular cleansing routine.

Formula direction: Natural White base with added Sodium PCA. Sodium PCA is a humectant in a rinse-off formula; it does not turn the bar into a leave-on moisturizer.

Current ingredient declaration: Water (Aqua), Sodium Laurate, Sorbitol, Propylene Glycol, Glycerin, Sodium Chloride, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Tetrasodium Iminodisuccinate, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Sodium PCA.

SORELUNE — TRIPLE-BUTTER + COLLOIDAL OATMEAL BAR

Why it exists: a creamier, oat-centered option for people who prefer a softer-looking, low-sensory formula direction.

Formula direction: Triple Butter base with cocoa, shea, and mango seed butters, plus colloidal oatmeal and Sodium PCA.

Current ingredient declaration: Aqua, Glycerin, Sorbitol, Sodium Stearate, Sodium Laurate, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Oleate, Sodium Myristate, Sodium Chloride, Glyceryl Mono Laurate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter, Sodium Thiosulfate, Sodium Citrate, Titanium Dioxide, Citric Acid, Trisodium Sulfosuccinate, Pentasodium Pentetate, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour, Sodium PCA.

NOCTEVAL — COCONUT-DERIVED CHARCOAL BAR

Why it exists: a mineral-gray bar for post-workout, sweaty, oily-feeling, or visibly dirty routines.

Formula direction: clear soap base with coconut-derived charcoal and Sodium PCA. Charcoal can interact with material at the skin’s surface; KGL Skin does not describe the bar as “detoxing.”

Current ingredient declaration: Glycerin, Water (Aqua), Sodium Stearate, Propylene Glycol, Sorbitol, Sodium Laurate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Tetrasodium Iminodisuccinate, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Sodium PCA, Charcoal Powder.

CALYRE — KAOLIN CLAY BAR

Why it exists: a clay-centered option with an off-white to light-tan, naturally speckled appearance.

Formula direction: Natural White base with kaolin and Sodium PCA. Kaolin is included as the signature mineral ingredient; this page does not make detoxification or medical-treatment claims.

Current ingredient declaration: Water (Aqua), Sodium Laurate, Sorbitol, Propylene Glycol, Glycerin, Sodium Chloride, Kaolin, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Tetrasodium Iminodisuccinate, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Sodium PCA.

SEREVIA — SHEA-BUTTER BASE FORMULA DIRECTION

Why it exists: a simple, low-sensory formula direction without clay, charcoal, or oatmeal.

Formula direction: Shea Butter base. “Low-sensory” describes the product direction; it is not a guarantee that irritation cannot occur.

Current ingredient declaration: Glycerin, Water (Aqua), Sodium Stearate, Sorbitol, Sodium Oleate, Sodium Shea Butterate, Sodium Laurate, Sodium Myristate, Sodium Chloride, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Titanium Dioxide, Tetrasodium Iminodisuccinate, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Sodium PCA.

FORMULA NOTE

Ingredient declarations may change when supplier specifications or controlled production records change. Always review the current product page and package before use. These are rinse-off cleansing bars, not products intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent a medical condition. Stop use if irritation occurs.

Formula role + routine fit

What makes each bar distinct

These are ingredient roles and practical routine matches. They are not medical claims, and an ingredient’s known properties do not prove a finished rinse-off bar treats a condition.

Marovel

Natural White + Sodium PCA

Role: Sodium PCA is a humectant included in the rinse-off formula.

Best fit: Straightforward daily cleansing when skin generally feels balanced after washing.

Sorelune

Triple Butter + Oatmeal

Role: Colloidal oatmeal is the signature oat ingredient within a cocoa-, shea-, and mango-butter base.

Best fit: A creamier, oat-centered wash when skin often feels dry or tight.

Nocteval

Coconut Charcoal

Role: Charcoal supplies the mineral-gray identity and can interact with material at the skin surface.

Best fit: Sweaty, oily-feeling, post-workout, or visibly dirty routines. No detox claim.

Calyre

Kaolin Clay

Role: Kaolin is the bar’s signature mineral ingredient and produces its naturally speckled appearance.

Best fit: Oily- or combination-feeling routines and people who prefer a clay-centered wash.

Serevia

Shea Butter Base

Role: KGL’s most pared-back formula direction, without oatmeal, charcoal, or clay.

Best fit: A simplified, low-sensory routine. This does not guarantee zero irritation.
