About ice breaker
Ice breaker is inspired by charming seabirds that inhabit the continent of Antarctica: penguins. These endearing birds are real ice breakers, so fun to watch on land and in the water where they truly fly just like small torpedoes!
Ice breaker features shades of black, grey, and white that bring to mind the graceful plumage of penguins. It is scented with an exclusive blend of essential oils matching the visual concept of the soap.
Penguins are facing different threats to their survival, from climate change and the warming of the planet to the reliability of access to their main food source, the Antarctic krill. As part of our commitment to contribute towards a more balanced and healthy planet, Macondo is supporting the remarkable effort that our friends from Penguin Watch are undertaking in understanding such threats by monitoring several penguin colonies across the Southern Ocean. But they don't do this alone, they rely on the help of people like you to monitor penguin colonies. Do not worry, you don't have to leave the comfort of your home to give them a hand. If you like counting penguins, chicks, and eggs, go to their website to find out how you can help.
And of course you can also help spreading the word. Add some Ice breakers to your shopping cart and with every sale we donate 20% of the profit to this amazing project.

what's in ice breaker?
Coconut oil
This extremely versatile ingredient is essential in all our soaps. Extracted from the flesh of coconuts, this oil not only acts as a cleansing agent after saponification, but using coconut oil results in a hard and long-lasting bar. It is the ingredient behind the bubbly lather of our bars that work so well in both soft and hard water.
SHEA BUTTER
This fantastic butter is extracted from the nut of the shea tree in West Africa. It is widely praised for its conditioning and nourishing qualities in natural skin and hair products. Shea butter is one of our favourite ingredients due to its high unsaponifiable content. This means that after the oils and butters are transformed into soap, a good amount of shea butter's nutrients remain unchanged contributing to a rich and nourishing final bar of soap.
activated charcoal powder
To keep ingredients natural, we use activated charcoal as a pigment. Activated charcoal is used in soapmaking thanks to its ability to create deep shades of black and grey, particularly the one made from coconut shells.The design of Ice breaker evokes the sleek black and white feathers of penguins and the shapes characteristic of their plumage.
