Moon Haven

Lemon & Poppyseed is a bar soap scented with lemongrass and May Chang essential oils and a hint of patchouli, with poppy seeds added. The maker rates its lemon intensity 10 out of 10, says the poppy seeds make the bar scrubby, and suggests it for ingrained dirt and for gardeners. Moon Haven says its bars measure about 80 x 50 x 30 mm and weigh 110 to 120 g.

Poppy seeds are what mark it out. Moon Haven's other lemon-leaning bars are smoother: Scent of Margaret River is lemon myrtle and eucalyptus, and Seagrass adds rosemary to the same pair. Cucumber Mint and Casablanca go in other directions. The base is water, coconut oil, rice bran oil, palm oil, olive oil and sodium hydroxide, with oxides for colour, per the maker.

Made by Moon Haven, a family soapmaker based in Busselton.
