Scent Description
Lollipop is an invigorating and mouthwatering blend of fizzy apple, wild blackberry, and juicy lime—instantly evoking memories of Jolly Ranchers, Zotz, or Pop Rocks. As it dries down, the bright, candy-like sweetness softens into a more classic accord of jasmine, cedar, and sandalwood. These are gently rounded out by vanilla, musk, and amber, forming a playful bouquet that’s fresh, citrusy, and uplifting. Perfect for warm, active days or casual moments at home, Lollipop is strong enough to turn heads, yet friendly enough to be effortlessly wearable.

Base Description
Van Yulay is a tallow-based soap rich in conditioning ingredients that delivers excellent performance. A luxurious blend of tallow, stearic acid, palm acid, and coconut acid creates a yogurty, highly protective lather with outstanding cushion and structure. Glycerin adds slickness and draws moisture into the skin, acting as an effective humectant. Shea butter, kokum butter, castor oil, and babassu oil serve as emollients, smoothing and soothing the skin while enhancing glide. Emu oil contributes mild anti-inflammatory benefits, while kaolin and bentonite clays provide gentle exfoliation. With its high-quality ingredients, well-balanced formula, and deeply moisturizing post-shave feel, Van Yulay showcases all the hallmarks of a premium soap.
