The Milk n' Honey Batch

Our fourth arrival- "The Milk n' Honey Batch" - was inspired by our love for sourcing ingredients from local farmers themselves.

Benefits

Infused with Organic Goat's Milk and local Santa Barbara Honey that is extracted by hand, we also blended in anti-bacterial Lemon Oil and anti-inflammatory Rosemary Oil. Each bar is also sprinkled with a dash of exfoliating Poppy Seeds.

Other active natural ingredients: Tea Tree Oil, Turmeric

The Peppermint Batch

The Peppermint Batch is one of our most popular bars to date.

Benefits

High levels of cooling Peppermint oil open up the pores and allows the rest of our fungus-fighting oils to thoroughly cleanse the skin of any mat funk picked up after a heavy training session. Each bar also comes loaded with walnut shell bits to gently exfoliate the skin and moisturizing Shea Butter.

Other Active Natural Ingredients: Tea Tree Oil, Eucalyptus Oil, Bergamot Oil, Lemon Grass Oil, Peppermint Oil, Coconut Oil

The Sand Bar - Batch 1

This translucent, lagoon-blue powerhouse was inspired by the clear Hawaiian waters we play in, the tropical rainfall we depend on, and the Jiu Jitsu mats we frequent. We tapped in The Arm Bar Soap Co., purveyors of high-level, all-natural bacteria-fighting soap, to craft this batch for us. This product is ideal for ocean dwellers + Jiu Jitsu players alike.

In fact, the same rain that flourishes the land subsequently opens the rivers, streams, and drain systems which can lead to both agricultural + urban runoff, sewage spills, and overflows which can contain harmful infection-causing bacteria - a realm we are all too familiar with at Arm Bar.

Each and every bar comes infused with a supercharged, organic, bacteria-destroying blend of Australian Tea Tree Oil, Maui Lavender Oil, Laukahi Extract, and Sandalwood Oil. This mixture is fortified with a heaping dose of hydrating ingredients sourced across the island chain - organic Kukui Nut Oil from O’ahu, Mangosteen Extract from the Big Island, and Honey from the island of Kaua’i. The vitamin-rich Kukui Nut Oil and Mangosteen work to strengthen the skin barrier with rich fatty acids and Xanthones while the Honey offers anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits; meanwhile all work congruently to soothe and relieve sun-damaged skin. If that wasn’t enough, we then layered in a bountiful amount of Aloe Vera Butter + Avocado Oil for their high levels of Vitamin E and anti-oxidants. This deep-cleansing monster is finished off with soothing Alaea sea salt from the west side of Kaua’i, magnesium-rich Chlorella powder (which lends itself to the color of the soap bar), and finally sprinkled with ground Apricot Seed “Sand” to aid in gently exfoliating away any dead skin acquired during training or surfing.

20 samples over 2 years - “The Sand Bar” soap project brings two beautiful worlds together under one banner - preventing potential skin infections from keeping us away from the things we love.

The Northern Knight Batch

A powerful bacteria destroyer inspired by antibacterial and anti-fungal ingredients found in the Northern hemisphere.

A trip to Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in early 2018 led us to a Farmers Market (Marché Jean Talon) and subsequently a local soap bar that would inspire our latest After-Training Soap creation - “The Northern Knight Batch” - a powerful bacteria destroyer infused with antibacterial and anti-fungal ingredients from the Northern hemisphere.

A “Maple Syrup Soap Bar” - coaxed our curiosity and further research would lead us to learning of the 54 compounds within the sweet substance containing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. We’ve also added in two other sticky substances - Canadian Honey and Organic Pine Tar, whose piney scents and antiseptic properties paired well with the Pine needle oil we also sourced from Canada. Another major ingredient in this batch is fresh Dragon’s Blood Extract - a crimson resin (lending its color to the bar) that has been used to heal wounds, both internally and externally, since the 1600’s. We’ve also added in a 3-oil concoction of bacteria-killing Himalayan Cedar Wood, Phenol-charged Oregano, and our signature high-grade Australian Tea Tree. A mineral-rich Alaskan Glacial Mud was then blended in to pull impurities from the skin while Marshmallow Root crumbs were infused to both moisturize and exfoliate any dead skin acquired during heavy training. Winter is coming...

Other Active Natural Ingredients: Coconut Oil, Canadian Bee Honey, Australian Tea Tree Oil

The Rainbow Warrior Batch

Over the rainbow and across the Atlantic, we searched both near and far to harness the powerful ingredients worthy of our latest fungus fighting blend. The main ingredient of this batch, Niaouli Oil, is a direct relative of Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea Tree), and grows wild on the island of Madagascar. Characterized by it’s anti-fungal + anti-microbial properties, it is widely used for its ability in killing gram-positive bacteria. Next, from the island of Hawai’i aka “The Big Island”, we sourced a healthy amount of ‘Ohi’a Lehua White Honey, a very special variation only harvested in Hawai’i by small privately owned apiaries and produced in very limited quantities. The naturally high viscosity of the Honey helps to provide a protective barrier, preventing infection and further stimulating quick wound-healing. We then added yet another tier of antibacterial power with the addition of organic, California-grown Oregano oil and O’ahu-grown Kukui Nut oil (which also helps to rehydrate the skin). This is quickly followed up with a splash of fatty-acid rich, Almond Oil, which lends its sweet scent to the batch. Next, Aloe Vera Extract is infused to reduce inflammation while a generous pour of Champagne Extract is added, whose antioxidant richness has proven to be 20 to 50 times more powerful than vitamin C and vitamin E. These Rainbow Warriors are finally rounded off with Menthol Crystals, designed to re-open pores and allow our bacteria fighting recipe inside to deep cleanse. Meanwhile, Crushed Rainbow Sea Sponge is sprinkled in to help exfoliate away any dead skin acquired during heavy training.

The Lava-Puhi Batch

Straight from our Hawaiian roots, we re-visited home to gather another round of powerful ingredients born from Hawai'i's Volcanic-rich soil for our latest After-training soap batch.

Benefits

We blended purifying Black Lava rock salt sourced from the Big Island with skin-clarifying Giant and Chocolate Awapuhi Zingiber strains from O'ahu. Organic, vitamin-rich Papaya juice and Taro root extract were also added along with a detoxifying, Alaea red clay from Maui, which has been used for centuries in Hawai’i to extract impurities from wounds.

Other Active Natural Ingredients: Macadamia Nut Oil, Maui Lavender Leaves, Kaua'i Coffee Grounds, Australian Tea Tree Oil, Ground Hawaiian Turmeric ('Ōlena), Coconut Oil

The Coal-Conut Batch

We’ve harnessed the tropics in this bar with ingredients sourced from local farms in both Hawai'i and California.

Benefits

Of course, we could not call this The Coal-Conut Batch without including every part of the Coconut; from it’s anti-bacterial oil extracts, to the purifying ash of it’s shell, all the way to the exfoliating bits of shredded meat and husk. This batch is also infused with juices, oils, and butters of fruits like Guava, Lilikoi, Pineapple and Mango.

Other Active Natural Ingredients: Tea Tree Oil, Activated Coconut Charcoal, and Kukui Nut Oil.

The Cocoa Batch

Our original soap bar - The Cocoa Batch - is handcrafted and designed in The Golden State with nothing but the finest, all natural ingredients.

Infused with our custom fungus-fighting 5-oil blend to combat any mat born bacteria, The Cocoa Batch also comes with a healthy amount of ... yes… moisturizing Cocoa Butter and Oatmeal crumbs to gently exfoliate and cleanse your skin after those tough training sessions.

Other Active Natural Ingredients: Tea Tree Oil, Eucalyptus Oil, Bergamot Oil, Lemon Grass Oil, Peppermint Oil, Coconut Oil.

The Tropic Soldier Batch

An after-training soap bar born in the tropics - our latest bacteria fighter was created with a goal of featuring some of the most powerful fungal-fighting + skin-nourishing ingredients specifically sourced from equatorial climates from around the world, we began by cultivating the roots of this batch with pure Hawaiian Spring Water before infusing it with an abundance of vitamin-rich tropical fruit juices + extracts from Pineapple, Hibiscus, and Barberry.

Each bar is then supercharged with an antifungal trio of our Australian Tea Tree Oil, Mandarin Orange Oil, and O’ahu-harvested Kukui Nut Oil.

A potent blend of organic Macadamia Nut Butter + Coconut Oil are then trickled in to soothe and moisturize damaged skin while a dash of minced up Coconut meat is added in to gently exfoliate away dead skin acquired from hard rolls.

The Shamp-broo Batch

Give your hair and scalp a deep-cleansing drink after heavy training sessions with our premier Shampoo bar - The Shamp-Broo Batch – a solid shampoo that is applied by rubbing the bar directly on your hair.

Benefits

Infused with volumizing California Microbrewery IPA (Racer 5), and a custom blend of six essential oils combined for their anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties, along with their ability to repair and hydrate damaged hair.

Other Active Natural Ingredients: Macadamia Nut Oil, Carrot Oil, Coconut Oil, Tea Tree Oil, Lemon Oil, Jojoba Oil

The Big Trouble in Little Rio Batch - Soap - The Arm Bar Soap Company

The Big Trouble in Little Rio Batch

In 1914, a Japanese man with the alias, “Conde Koma”, arrived in Brazil where he met a family that would ultimately reshape the landscape of martial arts forever. Inspired by the story of one of the greatest martial artists who ever lived, we proudly present, “The Big Trouble in Little Rio Batch”. A soap bar with such a powerful backstory would need to come with equal power in protecting Jiu Jitsu players worldwide. A heaping dose of USA-grown, full-spectrum hemp extract works to reduce inflammation while a potent 5-Oil-blend of Frankincense, Australian Tea Tree, Blood Orange, Spearmint, and Geranium join forces to combat any potential infection-causing bacteria. For skin hydration, each giant 10 oz. mega-bar is infused with organic Avocado oil and Rice Bran oil. This massive bar is finished off with a sprinkle of fresh Brazilian Coffee grounds and grainy Cassava Flour (aka Farofa) to aid in exfoliating any dead skin acquired during heavy training.

The American Spring Batch

Like the “Purple mountain majesties” of the Rockies, our latest bacteria-slaughtering Mega Bar glows like a backlit Amethyst stone. Strictly powered by ingredients grown on US soil, “The American Spring Batch” was inspired by just that; beginning with the pure Spring Water we source from Upstate New York, all the way to the 90-proof Tennessee Whiskey we’ve injected into each bar. A heavy dose of American Witch Hazel from Connecticut is then combined with a potent infection-fighting trifecta of USA-distilled Tea Tree Oil + USA-grown Carrot and Eucalyptus Oil. From California, where all of our soap products are crafted, we’ve added in a healthy pour of vitamin-rich Goat’s Milk along with raw unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar to soothe and fortify damaged skin. From Colorado, we’ve sourced Organic Wheat flower and Wheat germ oil for their high volume of Vitamin E, Folic Acid, and Vitamin B6 which help to prevent skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema and dry skin. Next, handfuls of USP-grade Epsom Salt are generously scattered in to soothe soar muscles. Finally, a plentiful amount of Hawaiian Mango Butter is added to deeply rehydrate while Florida Strawberry seeds, sprinkled in to exfoliate any dead skin acquired during heavy training, seamlessly float in this 10oz. purple mammoth. This batch features a top note of freshly baked Apple pie with subtle notes of Eucalyptus. As the Jiu Jitsu scene in the USA continues to grow, so does our army of sudsy Black Belts, this one powered by ingredients grown in the soil of the Red, White, and Blue...yet designed to protect Jiu Jitsu Players worldwide.

The Alpha and Omega Batch

A sweet-scented, supersized bacteria-hunting soap brick inspired by the predatory creatures of myth and folklore. Although rare, super packs of wolves have been recorded in the hundreds. These packs develop social bonds so strong they’ve been known to sacrifice themselves for the survival of the pack. Similarities of family and unity can be found throughout Jiu Jitsu academies around the world. We knew a bar built around a creature so formidable deserved a fungal-fighting formulation to match. We began by infusing this batch with one of the strongest natural bacteria killing oils on earth - East Cape Manuka oil, an ingredient that has been proven to be more than 33x more effective in eliminating the Staphylococcus Aureus (Staph) strain than it’s Australian counterpart. We’ve combined this with a potent, fungus fighting 5-oil-blend of Night Blooming Jasmine, Vetiver, Clary Sage, Tea tree, and Cypress. We then added in a healthy helping of Myrrh Resin Powder - used by the Egyptians for centuries to promote quick wound healing. Next, a bountiful amount of North American Blueberry Oil was poured in for its powerful antioxidants and high levels of alpha linolenic acid, an essential fat known for healing damaged skin. This 10oz. pink giant is finally finished off with a healthy helping of organic, moisture-rich Kokum Butter to rehydrate skin while a hefty dash of Apricot Seed Powder is sprinkled in each bar to exfoliate any dead skin acquired during heavy training. Created to cleanse and protect us from the mat-born infections that often stalk us we step on the mat, we invite you to run with the Arm Bar wolf pack.

The Samurai Den Batch

While the formulation of this batch stemmed from the warriors of Feudal Japan and how they utilized Blue Indigo, the original talks that led to this batch actually revolved around an old sushi house in town. With it’s dark halls, low ceilings, and samurai artwork on the walls, it conjured up sounds of sharpening blades and scents of smoke and ash in our imagination. These thoughts of what a “samurai den” would have been like in the Edo Period led to our latest after training soap creation.

Each supersized 10oz. blue brick comes loaded with Indigo Extract from Tokushima, Japan which directly lends its dark hazy navy blue color to the bar, as well as its ability to fight bacteria and odor. For an extra boost of antibacterial power, we sourced 3 very special ingredients directly from The land of the rising sun: cooling Japanese Peppermint Oil, Hinoki Oil (Japanese Cypress), and Sugi Oil (Japanese Cedar). We also blended in our signature high grade Australian Tea Tree Oil.

Fresh Yuzu Fruit Juice is then poured in plentifully to this batch as it’s a Japanese antioxidant powerhouse packed with Vitamin C and also aids in skin rehydration.

Unfiltered Sake is also on the menu in this batch - drizzled in every bar due to it’s richness in amino-acids and natural enzymes that help to brighten skin.

Each bar is finally sprinkled with Bamboo Charcoal Powder to absorb any potentially harmful bacteria picked up on the mat while ground up Black Sesame Seeds work to exfoliate away any dead skin accumulated during heavy training.

*NOTE: The blue Indigo Extract in these bars will lightly bleed blue as you wash. When you're finished washing, place bar on a soap dish or wash cloth to prevent blue extract residue in your shower. From our experience sampling the soap over the last year, the extract will not permanently stain tile or grout.

The Serengeti Yeti Batch

Introducing a Yeti-sized brick of fungus-fighting glycerine as dark as a moonless night in Tanzania; a soap bar that is truly unique in the realm of Jiu Jitsu, where the Arctic converges with Africa. Our 25th After-Training soap batch has taken more than a year to develop.

We start by using the traditional and time-consuming method of making African Black Soap. This involves roasting Cocoa Pods and Plantain Peels to produce ash, which lends the soap its dark color. Hydrating Cocoa Butter and Shea Butter are then generously heaped in.

Each monster block of soap is then supercharged with a powerful blend of four oils: Australian Tea Tree, Lemongrass, Arctic Peppermint, and Comfrey, which work together to eliminate mat-born bacteria. Inspired by ancient Viking medical practices for wound healing, Comfrey Oil and Yarrow Flower are generously loaded in every bar.

High-Mountain Honey was then drizzled in. A nectar renowned globally for its antibacterial qualities, various warrior cultures of the past, including the Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, and Knights, utilized this adaptable sweet substance to safeguard wounds from infection.

Every Yeti bar was rounded off with touch of organic Licorice Powder, which was commonly used in the Middle Ages to calm irritated skin. We also tossed in a dash of Activated Coconut Charcoal Powder to help remove impurities while a heavy pour of Coconut Oil offers bountiful rehydration to skin. Ground Walnut Shells were finally sprinkled in to exfoliate away any dead skin acquired during heavy training.

The Absolute Batch - Soap - The Arm Bar Soap Company

The Absolute Batch

A soap bar worthy of a title like “The Absolute Batch”, this Ultra Heavyweight 10oz. mega-bar comes loaded with bacteria-killing ingredients sourced World Wide - UMF 20+ Manuka Honey from New Zealand joins forces with a powerful fungus-fighting blend of Tea Tree, Thyme, and Cedarwood. Virgin Coconut oil deeply moisturizes while shredded Orange peels exfoliate dead skin acquired during heavy training. We polished off this giant with a potent infusion of “4 Thieves Oil” (Lemon, Rosemary, Clove, Eucalyptus, Cinnamon) - an herbal blend notoriously made famous by four grave-robbing thieves in the 15th century during the dark times of “The Bubonic Plague”. The thieves would coat themselves in the special concoction before robbing infectious dead bodies of their jewels to avoid becoming infected. Centuries later, we’ve harnessed this exact medicinal blend in our latest after-training creation.
