Formula S-01 was developed as part of an investigation into sunflower oil and its potential role in future soap formulations.

From the moment production began, the specimen demonstrated exceptional behavior. The formula remained stable throughout manufacturing, cured successfully, and produced one of the most visually successful natural color experiments to date. Madder Root Powder generated a rich reddish-purple hue, while delicate pink Gomphrena flowers were added to the surface as a finishing touch.

While the formula is not without shortcomings, S-01 represents one of the most promising specimens currently under evaluation.

Fragrance Profile

This specimen is intentionally unscented.

No fragrance oils or essential oils were added, allowing the qualities of the experimental formula to take center stage.

Laboratory Notes

Specimen ID: S-01

Status: Advancement Approved

Observations:

• Exhibited excellent behavior during production.

• Produced a stable, medium-hardness bar after curing.

• Demonstrates a balanced combination of cleansing and conditioning properties.

• Madder Root Powder successfully produced the intended coloration.

• Natural color remained stable throughout cure.

• Lather quality was determined to be below target parameters.

• Foam production lacks both creaminess and volume when compared to leading candidates.

  
  

Research Objective: To create the world's greatest bar of soap.

Unexpected Findings: Root Powder proved to be a highly successful natural colorant and has been approved for future research applications.

Current Assessment: Success. While lather performance requires additional refinement, the specimen met enough performance criteria to advance to the next round of World's Greatest Soap Trials.

Ingredients

Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Sunflower Oil, Palm Oil, Avocado Oil, Water, Sodium Hydroxide (Lye), Madder Root Powder, Gomphrena Flowers.

Forbidden Formulary specimens are experimental products and may differ significantly from our standard collections. Their purpose is to document the ongoing development of future formulas and techniques.

As with all handmade soaps, exact product appearance may differ in swirl pattern, color placement, or color intensity, even within a single batch. Each soap is one of a kind.
