📜 Story Behind the Craft
This soap originates from the Amdo region of the Tibetan Plateau, where yak herding is part of daily life. Each bar is made using traditional knowledge, combining locally sourced yak milk and herbs with snow edelweiss — a rare flower that grows above 9,800 ft (3,000 meters). Known for its resilience and skincare properties, edelweiss is carefully dried and infused into the soap along with rose essence for a naturally fragrant, revitalizing experience.

Rooted in Tibetan Medicinal Bathing Traditions
This soap is inspired by the Sowa Rigpa tradition — the Tibetan system of healing that includes therapeutic herbal bathing. Yak milk, long revered in Tibetan medicine, is known for its ability to moisturize and nourish skin, while herbs like edelweiss and rose serve both therapeutic and ceremonial purposes.
Crafted using principles aligned with the Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritage of Tibetan Medicinal Bathing (Sowa Rigpa), this soap honors both natural purity and centuries of ritual wellness.
