Mayan Soap Gift Set
Tierra & Lava in Guatemala uses beauty infused with Mayan ingredients as a bridge between economic empowerment & cultural preservation for smallholder farmers in Guatemala and conscious consumers around the world.
Experience the rich traditions of Mayan self-care with this beautifully curated Gift Set of 3 artisan soap bars, each inspired by ancient practices, natural ingredients, and earthy fragrances. Packaged in a handwoven Guatemalan textile pouch (colors may vary), this set makes a meaningful and luxurious gift for anyone in need of restoration and relaxation.
Crafted using traditional cold process techniques, each soap bar is made with care to nourish the skin and awaken the senses through scent and texture.
Soap Varieties:
-
Calendula, Geranium & Macadamia
Let your shower become a garden escape, with notes of calendula, grapefruit blossoms, and geranium. Nourishing macadamia oil leaves skin feeling soft and replenished. -
Cardamom, Coffee & Cocoa Butter
A morning ritual in a bar—this invigorating blend of cardamom, coffee, and cocoa butter energizes with every use. A subtle hint of vanilla adds warmth and depth. -
Copal, Myrrh & Rose
A peaceful and sensual experience. The sweet, grounding scent of copal resin, myrrh, and frankincense is softened with a delicate touch of fresh rose petals.
How to Use:
Rub the soap between wet hands to create a light, moisturizing lather. Gently massage over the hands and body. Some bars include natural exfoliants that provide a light scrubbing texture while cleansing.

Tierra & Lava
MISSION Tierra & Lava is a beauty brand infused with ancient Mayan healing knowledge.
HISTORY Founder Lucy Ashman started her career in the eco-tourism industry which was her way of being able to invest the results of her education in Belize where she grew up rather than be part of the brain drain issue which was the situation at the time. She was passionate about nature’s ‘pharmacy’ all of her life and intrigued by how ancient cultures - and especially the Maya - understood and used the medicinal value of natural resources. It is just as important to Lucy that science supports this in order to give customers the best possible results.
VISION As an all women-owned and women-run business, Tierra & Lava is dedicated to providing Guatemalan women with a living wage and opportunities for economic empowerment. This effort helps to combat economic exclusion and gender inequality in a region where these issues are deeply entrenched.
