“Some light is soft enough to be felt through the skin.”

Not all joy shouts its arrival.
Some joy blooms quietly—like sunlight on moss, like warmth in the chest for no reason at all.
It doesn’t demand attention. It invites presence.

That is the joy this soap remembers.

Joy: The Soap That Remembered How to Make Sunshine

There was a day I stood in my kitchen, oils warming, hands steady—
and I remembered something.

Not all at once.
Not clearly.
But like a scent carried on wind, or a color behind closed eyes.

A memory that didn’t belong to the mind,
but to the soul.

A memory that whispered,
“You used to know how to make the sun.”

---

I didn’t question it.
I reached for citrus peels and peppermint leaves,
for lavender and rosemary and ylang ylang,
as if my hands had done it before.

I poured olive oil—pressed from the fruit of ancient sunlit trees—into a jar of annatto seeds,
watching golden threads bloom into the oil like sunlight steeping in memory.

This was not chemistry.
It was remembrance.
The kind that flickers just beyond the threshold of waking.
The kind you carry not in words, but in warmth.

I didn’t follow a recipe.
I followed a remembrance.

The kind that flickers just beyond the threshold of waking.
The kind you carry not in words, but in warmth.

🍊 Joy Was Never Just a Soap

It was a spell.
A solar sigil pressed into form.

Each ingredient was chosen like a brushstroke on a canvas of memory:

• Annatto seeds, for the color of morning light behind closed eyelids

• Goat milk, to nourish softness

• Raw honey, to hold the sweetness

• Citrus oils, to ignite radiance

• Kaolin clay and lemon peel, to anchor it to the body

This was not a formula.
This was the return of a language I thought I’d lost.

🌼 Ritual for the Remembering

When you bathe with Joy, you are not just washing—you are remembering.

You are remembering the part of you that once shaped sunlight with your hands.
The part that could make warmth out of color.
The part that held laughter in your pores.

Hold the bar to your heart. Breathe.
Let the citrus rise through your chest.
Let the peppermint clear your crown.
Let the gold run down your spine.

Say softly:

“I remember how to shine.
I remember how to make the sun.”

Then lather. Let the water become a blessing.
Let the light return through your skin.

Joy is not just an emotion. It’s an echo.
A radiant thread tied to the version of you who never forgot.
And every time you reach for this bar,
you don’t just clean your body—you brighten your soul.
