Bright, refreshing, and unmistakably energizing, our Bergamot & Grapefruit Bar Soap is a handcrafted favorite for lovers of bold citrus scents. Made in small batches by Old Whaling Company, this all-purpose bar soap creates a rich, gentle lather that’s perfect for bathing, hand washing, facial cleansing, and shaving. The moisturizing formula cleanses thoroughly without over-drying, making it a versatile staple for everyday use from hair to toes.
Each generously sized bar weighs approximately 5 oz and is crafted using the traditional cold-process method. This Bergamot & Grapefruit soap is made with activated charcoal, an ingredient long used to help draw dirt and impurities from the pores. Its detoxifying properties make it an especially great choice for facial use and for those who enjoy a fresh, deeply clean feel.
The fragrance is a bright, crisp citrus blend featuring Italian bergamot and white grapefruit. Juicy, fruit-forward top notes are balanced with subtle earthy undertones, creating a scent that feels both invigorating and grounded. Made with a blend of essential oils and fragrance oils, this bar is ideal for those who prefer a stronger, more vibrant fragrance that lingers lightly on the skin.
This bestselling scent has even made its way into pop culture — featured in The Bone Code by #1 New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs.

"Bergamot & Grapefruit is another one of my favorites. I've been using this one for years."
"From the moment I opened the box to smell the soap I was hooked! Long time Old Whaling Co fan, I was first introduced on a trip to Asheville a few years back and have been using this soap ever since. This is my first time trying the Bergamot and Grapefruit and I’m only sad I didn’t try it sooner! Next time I’ll be ordering more than one and the body butter to go with it. It smells divine!"
