We blend our soaps and shampoo bars with a rich mix of luxurious oils and butters, including olive oil, coconut oil, castor oil, shea butter, and jojoba oil. Each one is chosen for its nourishing qualities—helping to moisturise, protect, and pamper your skin and hair. These natural oils create a creamy lather and leave you feeling soft, smooth, and refreshed, all without harsh chemicals or synthetic additives.

Essential oils

Are the heart of our soaps and shampoo bars, bringing natural fragrance and gentle benefits straight from plants. We carefully select pure, high-quality essential oils not just for their beautiful scents, but also for their unique properties that can soothe, refresh, or invigorate your skin and hair. Every bar is crafted to deliver a sensory experience that’s as good for you as it is for the planet—no synthetic fragrances, just nature’s own goodness.

Natural clays

Are a key ingredient in our soaps and shampoo bars, valued for their gentle cleansing and skin-loving minerals. Each clay is chosen for its unique color and benefits—like drawing out impurities, soothing sensitive skin, or adding a silky feel to every wash. We use only pure, natural clays to give your skin and hair a fresh, healthy glow, the way nature intended.

Plant powders

We use finely ground plant powders to naturally colour and enrich our soaps and shampoo bars. These botanical powders—like spirulina, turmeric, or nettle—add beautiful hues, gentle texture, and extra skin-loving benefits. It’s our way of keeping every bar vibrant, wholesome, and true to nature.

At Norilum, we believe that high-performance skincare shouldn't be diluted. By removing the water that makes up 90% of traditional liquid soaps and lotions, we’ve created a powerful, waterless concentrate that delivers raw, active ingredients directly to your skin.

Making the switch to solid body care isn’t just an environmental choice—it’s a superior way to nourish your body.

1. Powerful & Undiluted Concentration

When you buy a liquid body wash, you are mostly paying for water and plastic packaging. At Norilum, we remove the water to maximize the results. Because our products are concentrated, your skin receives a much higher potency of vitamins, antioxidants, and premium plant-based lipids in every use. You use less product, but get more nourishment.

2. Nature’s Own Preservation

One of the greatest benefits of our Cold Process Soap is how it stays pure. These bars don’t require added synthetic preservatives because their naturally high pH—typically around 9.5—creates an environment where bacteria and mold simply cannot thrive. This organic stability means your soap stays fresh and safe to use without the need for harsh chemicals, making it a gentle, natural, and honest choice for your skin.

3. Truly Zero-Waste & Ethical

Switching to solid bars is the most effective way to eliminate single-use plastics from your bathroom.

• Plastic-Free: Every bar removes another plastic bottle from our New Zealand oceans and landfills.
  
• Carbon Conscious: Because bars are lightweight and compact, they require significantly less energy to transport than heavy, water-filled bottles.
  
• Pure Formulations: By going solid, we avoid the chemical "thickeners" and synthetic fragrances required in liquid formulas that can disrupt your hormones and the environment.
  

4. The "Skin Shield" Effect

Our solid body care is formulated with Premium Oils & Butters that stay stable in a bar format. Unlike liquid washes that can strip your skin, our solid bars leave behind a microscopic, breathable layer of moisture that protects and heals your skin barrier long after you leave the shower.

1. Ultra-Concentrated Power

Each bar packs 10x more active ingredients than traditional liquid shampoo. By removing the water, we deliver a potent, clinically superior treatment that cleanses and conditions in every swipe. This isn’t a compromise—it’s a powerful upgrade for your hair.

2. Scalp-First Detoxification

Healthy hair starts at the foundation: the scalp. Unlike liquid shampoos that often leave residue, our bars use mineral-rich clays (like Pink Clay, Charcoal, and NZ Glacial Clay) that act like magnets. They draw out toxins, excess oil, and buildup, creating a clean, balanced environment for hair to grow strong and healthy.

3. Truly Clean Beauty

Clean beauty is our foundation, not just a trend. We’ve said goodbye to harsh sulfates, parabens, phthalates, silicones, and petrochemicals. Instead, we use powerful, scientifically-backed ingredients that meet strict clean beauty standards. Every formula is vegan and cruelty-free, because your hair—and the planet—deserve this level of care.

4. Pure Essential Oils, No Synthetic Fragrances

We never use artificial "parfum" or synthetic scents that can irritate sensitive scalps. Instead, we blend pure essential oils like Neroli, Tea Tree, and Bergamot. These not only provide a luxurious, natural aroma but also offer therapeutic benefits for scalp health, such as soothing inflammation and balancing oil production.

5. Love It or Your Money Back

We’re so confident you’ll fall head over heels for our bars, we’re putting our money where our mouth is. Not thrilled? No worries—we’ve got you covered with our 100% satisfaction guarantee. Switching to solid has never been risk-free.

6. Zero-Waste & Plastic-Free

One Norilum bar replaces up to three plastic bottles of liquid shampoo. By switching to solid, you’re actively reducing plastic waste in landfills and oceans. It’s a simple, everyday swap that makes a massive impact on the environment.

7. Travel-Friendly & TSA Approved

Say goodbye to leaking bottles and liquid limits. Our solid bars are compact, leak-proof, and completely TSA-friendly. Whether you’re heading to the gym or traveling overseas, Norilum fits easily into any bag without the hassle.

8. Handcrafted in New Zealand

Every bar is handcrafted in small batches in Auckland, NZ. We use traditional methods to preserve the integrity of our natural ingredients, ensuring you get a fresh, high-quality product made with care and precision.

At the heart of Norilum is a simple belief: nature knows best. Our journey begins with carefully chosen, high-quality ingredients—pure plant oils, nourishing butters, mineral-rich clays, and botanical extracts. Whether we are crafting a natural soap, a concentrated solid shampoo, or a protective natural deodorant, each batch starts in our Auckland workshop. We blend these ingredients using traditional methods that preserve the natural goodness and potency of every element.

Handcrafted with Patience & Precision

We pour, cut, and cure each soap bar by hand, allowing it to slowly mature to ensure maximum quality. This patient process ensures that every natural soap is gentle and rich in natural glycerin, while our solid shampoo bars remain highly concentrated and long-lasting. For our natural deodorants, we carefully blend skin-loving butters and essential oils to create a smooth, effective formula. We never rush or cut corners—each product is a small work of art, crafted with care and attention to detail.

Pure Ingredients, No Compromises

Our recipes for natural soap, solid shampoo, and natural deodorant are thoughtfully formulated to be free from harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, and unnecessary additives. Instead, we rely on the power of essential oils, plant powders, and clays to create unique blends that cleanse, nourish, and protect. From the first pour to the final wrap, we’re dedicated to making products that are as kind to the earth as they are to your skin and hair.

We ship our natural soaps & solid shampoo in all NZ at a flate rate of $9. For orders over $100 free shipping.
