Mountain Air
Formulated with precision and intention, the NOVI, Mountain Air cleansing bar weighs approximately 4.5-5 oz and is crafted in small batches to ensure quality, consistency, and performance. Our formula prioritizes skin barrier support, balanced cleansing, and botanical efficacy.
Lipid-Rich Base Formula
The structural integrity and skin performance of this bar come from a carefully calibrated blend of plant lipids:
Olive Oil – High in oleic acid and polyphenols to help reinforce the skin’s natural moisture barrier and support long-term hydration.
Coconut Oil – Contributes cleansing fatty acids that effectively remove buildup while maintaining structural hardness in the bar.
Shea Butter – A source of stearic and oleic acids that help improve skin suppleness and reduce transepidermal moisture loss.
Avocado Oil – Rich in vitamins and sterols known to support elasticity and comfort compromised or dry skin.
Castor Oil – Enhances lather density while contributing humectant-like properties for a conditioned after-feel.
Jojoba Oil – A liquid wax ester that closely mirrors human sebum, helping regulate and balance the skin without occlusion.
This synergistic oil composition allows for effective cleansing while maintaining the skin’s protective barrier.
Functional Botanical Complex
Our essential oil composition is selected for its supportive dermal properties:
Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin) – Traditionally used to support skin regeneration and improve the appearance of dry or stressed skin.
Vetiver (Vetiveria zizanioides) – Known for its calming properties and ability to help promote balanced-looking skin.
Cedarwood (Cedrus spp.) – Often incorporated to support clarity in oily or combination skin types.
Oakmoss (Evernia prunastri) – Valued in botanical preparations for its conditioning and skin-supportive properties.
Pine (Pinus spp.) – Contains naturally purifying components that help refresh the skin’s surface.
Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea) – Traditionally used to help regulate excess oil and promote skin equilibrium.
Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus) – Provides a cooling, invigorating sensation while supporting surface purification.
Bergamot (Citrus bergamia) – Recognized for its balancing and clarifying qualities that help promote a refined-looking complexion.
This botanical complex works in harmony with the lipid base to deliver a cleansing experience that is both effective and skin-conscious.
