1. Wet your face and the soap bar. 2. Lather the bar directly in your hands or with a washcloth to create a rich, grayish foam. 3. Gently massage the lather onto your damp face and neck using circular motions for 60 seconds to allow the exfoliants to work. 4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. 5. Pat dry. Use 1-2 times daily, ideally in the evening to remove the day's impurities. For best results, follow with a moisturizer.

Timeline Expectations:

- Week 4+: Maintains clear, refined skin. Helps prevent clogged pores and blackheads, making it a reliable part of a preventative skincare routine for polished-looking skin.

Pelican Soap was founded in Japan over 50 years ago by a pharmacist who believed effective skincare should be simple and trustworthy. The Deitanseki Peat Stone Soap was created for modern skin that faces daily buildup from pollution, stress, and hard water. The formula centers on genuine Japanese peat stone powder, a mineral-rich ingredient sourced from deep peat bogs, known for its powerful purifying properties. It's combined with activated charcoal and two types of clay in a specific, balanced ratio developed in our GMP-certified Japanese facility. This bar isn't just soap; it's a targeted cleansing ritual. It has consistently ranked as a top-selling bar soap in Japan for over a decade, trusted for its no-nonsense approach to clear, smooth skin.

The Pelican Deitanseki Peat Stone Soap - 100g Charcoal & Clay Exfoliating Bar by Pelican Soap features a carefully curated blend of ingredients designed for deep cleansing and exfoliation. Key components include activated charcoal, which is included for its powerful adsorption properties to draw out impurities, excess oil, and toxins from the skin, helping to unclog pores and reduce blemishes. Clay, such as bentonite or kaolin, is incorporated to absorb sebum and provide gentle exfoliation, promoting a smoother skin texture and enhanced clarity. The soap base typically contains sodium palmate and sodium palm kernelate, derived from palm oil, which serve as cleansing agents to create a rich lather that effectively removes dirt and grime. Additional ingredients may include glycerin for its humectant properties to retain moisture and prevent dryness, and fragrance for a pleasant sensory experience. Peat stone powder, a hallmark of this product, offers mild physical exfoliation to slough off dead skin cells, improving skin renewal and radiance. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to purify, detoxify, and refine the skin, making it suitable for those seeking a thorough cleanse with exfoliating benefits, particularly for oily or combination skin types.
