Armor Line/THE BOTANICAL

§ Armor Line — Bar 02 / 03

Armor Wash No. 02 · Batch A-002

The Botanical

Same defensive standard, recalibrated for skin that runs reactive. The active load is split across three botanicals instead of concentrated in one.

"Soft botanical pour with white kaolin and oat. Quiet finish — almost no scent. Designed to disappear after the rinse."

— Artist's Notes, Batch A-002

§ Clinical Abstract

Antifungal Defense — Sensitive

A lower-intensity defense bar formulated for athletes whose skin reacts to high-concentration tea tree. Manuka and neem carry the antifungal load at gentler thresholds; oat colloid and white kaolin clay buffer the wash.

Active Botanicals

  • Manuka
  • Neem
  • White Kaolin Clay
  • Colloidal Oat

Indication

Daily decontamination for athletes with rosacea, eczema-adjacent skin, or sensitivity to higher tea tree concentrations.

Method

Cold-process saponification at 90°F to preserve volatile manuka compounds. 45-day cure. Single-pour technique distributes actives uniformly through the bar.
