Donggubat Gakkum Soap Basil

A cold-processed soap enriched with basil and nettle to soothe the skin

This cleansing bar is formulated for normal to dry skin, featuring basil leaf powder—often called the king of herbs—and nettle extract rich in essential minerals. Crafted using the Cold Process (CP) method with over 1,000 hours of low-temperature curing, it preserves the full benefits of plant-derived ingredients. The dense, creamy lather gently cleanses while locking in moisture, leaving skin feeling soft and hydrated with no tightness after washing.

Plant-derived ingredients that support soothing and hydration

Basil, green tea seed oil, and nettle extract each play a unique role in caring for your skin.

Basil leaf powder helps improve the skin environment and adds a layer of moisture. Green tea seed oil, rich in vitamins A, B2, and C, delivers hydration to dry skin and helps promote a clearer complexion. Nettle extract, packed with minerals, revitalizes the skin and offers soothing benefits.

Sunflower seed oil and coconut oil are also included, so this single bar can replace both foam cleansers and body washes—cleansing and moisturizing in one step.

For those who care about the environment

Switching to a bar soap helps reduce unnecessary plastic waste in your bathroom. The packaging is made from FSC-certified crush paper, produced from natural byproducts of citrus fruits and corn processing, using only green energy during production to minimize carbon emissions. It effectively removes sunscreen and BB cream, and when paired with a foaming net, it creates an even richer lather for a more thorough cleanse.

A calming facial soap with basil and nettle extract

Gakkum Soap Basil is a facial cleansing bar formulated for normal to dry skin. It features basil leaf powder—often called the king of herbs—and nettle extract rich in minerals to help soothe the skin, while green tea seed oil keeps skin comfortably hydrated without any tightness after cleansing.

Gentle enough for daily use, morning and night

Use it in the morning to wash away overnight sebum, and in the evening to remove the day's buildup and sunscreen. It effectively cleanses sunscreen and BB cream on its own, but if you've worn waterproof formulas, remove them first with a dedicated makeup remover.

Build a rich lather with a foaming net

A foaming net helps you create a soft, abundant lather from the plant-derived ingredients. Avoid rubbing the bar directly on your face, as this can cause irritation. Instead, work up a generous foam, then massage it gently over your entire face in circular motions. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

What makes the 1,000-hour cold-process method special

This soap is crafted using a cold-process method that ages plant-derived ingredients at low temperatures for over 1,000 hours. Sunflower seed oil and coconut oil work together to cleanse while maintaining moisture, making this bar a simple replacement for foam cleansers or body washes.

Storage and usage notes

After each use, shake off excess water and store the bar in a well-ventilated spot. Leaving it wet can cause it to soften. Best used within 12 months of opening and within 24 months from the manufacturing date. If you experience any discomfort, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
