Crafted in the heart of the Mosquitia region of Honduras, La Selva Bar is a pure, skin-nourishing soap made from wild-harvested Batana oil. A sacred oil extracted by hand from the nut of the American palm (Elaeis oleifera). For generations, the native Miskito people have revered Batana as a healing skin remedy and protective balm, using it to nourish, soften, and restore the skin under tropical sun, wind, and rain.
This bar is ideal for dry, damaged, or sensitive skin. Offering deep moisture, protection, and cellular cleansing. The oil’s natural tocopherol content (Vitamin E), phytosterols, and plant-based nutrients support healthy skin tone, elasticity, and natural radiance without synthetic chemicals or artificial fragrance.
