Rich in antioxidants, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
Obtained by cold-pressing walnut kernels, this oil deeply hydrates and nourishes the skin, improving its elasticity and firmness. Its antioxidant properties protect the skin from free radicals and environmental damage, preventing premature aging. It also helps in cell regeneration, keeping the skin healthy and young. The plains of Transylvania are rich in old walnut groves and crops, which has led to many small family businesses starting to harvest and process the nuts for powder and oil. Although I also own some majestic nuts, they do not give me enough fruit for my production needs, so I get this liquid gold from producers in Cluj County and Maramureș.
Antiseptic, astringent and detoxifying.
Medicinal charcoal, also called activated charcoal, absorbs impurities and excess sebum, deeply cleansing the pores and leaving the skin purified. It helps to reduce blackheads and pimples, promoting a clear and smooth complexion. A natural ingredient with great versatility, the medicinal charcoal used in Hodaia products has food purity, being also used as a detoxifier in gastric problems and intoxications.
Antiseptic, anti -inflammatory and invigorating.
Pine essential oil cleanses and invigorates the skin, providing a feeling of freshness and energy. Its antiseptic properties help prevent infections and maintain clean skin. In addition to its beneficial effects on the skin, the pine is used successfully in aromatherapy for its benefits on the nervous system, as a tonic and relaxing.
Cooling, soothing, antimicrobial and antiseptic.
Peppermint essential oil provides an immediate cooling sensation that helps soothe irritated and inflamed skin. Its antimicrobial properties help prevent infections and keep the skin clean. For the senses it is a real sedative that helps at the same time for better concentration. I purchase these oils from a small family brand in a commune in Bucovina, where they have several plantations of medicinal and aromatic plants.
Ingredients (INCI): beef tallow (sodium tallowate), walnut seed oil (Juglans regia), sodium ricinoleate (Ricinus communis), sunflower seed oil (Helianthus annuus), pine essential oil (Pinus sylvestris), silver fir essential oil (Abies alba), peppermint essential oil (Mentha piperita), medicinal charcoal, pine bud powder (Pinus sylvestris).

Deeply cleanses without drying the skin
Codru Soap is formulated with activated charcoal, a renowned ingredient for its ability to deeply cleanse pores by removing toxins and impurities accumulated throughout the day. Activated charcoal absorbs excess sebum and leaves the skin clean and balanced without stripping away its essential natural oils. This process helps maintain a healthy complexion, preventing clogged pores and breakouts, all while avoiding dryness or irritation.
Suitable for all skin types
Codru Soap is perfect for all skin types, whether you have oily, dry, or combination skin. Thanks to natural ingredients such as essential oils of pine, fir, and peppermint, the soap balances sebum production for oily skin while naturally moisturizing dry skin. This soap provides a gentle yet effective cleanse, adapting to the needs of each skin type without being harsh. It's an ideal choice for those seeking a natural and versatile skincare solution.
Handcrafted using a traditional recipe
Each Codru Soap is handmade using a traditional recipe passed down through generations. The artisanal process and authentic local ingredients, such as cold-pressed oils and pine bud powder, ensure a high-quality product that reflects attention to detail and respect for tradition. Unlike commercial soaps, this product contains no palm oil or exotic ingredients, offering a sustainable and effective solution for skin care.
Contains essential oils of pine, fir, and peppermint
The essential oils of pine, fir, and peppermint not only delight your senses with a fresh, mountain-like aroma, but also provide real benefits for the skin. Pine essential oil stimulates circulation, helping to detoxify the skin, while fir oil has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, soothing irritations. Peppermint oil adds a cooling sensation, reducing inflammation and offering a refreshing skincare experience. This blend of essential oils helps balance the skin and keeps the complexion healthy and revitalized.

Each Hodaia product is created by hand, in small batches, without the help of industrial equipment. Each batch may differ slightly in texture, color or smell. This is because the ingredients (plant extracts, essential oils, plant powders or cold-pressed oils) can show small differences from season to season, depending a lot on the harvest period, if it was a drier period or for other reasons related to nature. These differences will in no way affect the quality and effectiveness of the products.
All Hodaia products are individually wrapped in recycled paper, recycled cardboard or wood wool. Even if they don't use foils, I can assure you that the products will be well packed, so that they reach you in good condition. Sometimes you may notice that you receive the package in a box that was previously used for packages. I think it is more important not to waste extra things and garbage. However, the products will be individually in new, clean packaging. If you would like to receive the products specially wrapped to be given as a gift, do not hesitate to contact me and I will do my best to ensure that you fully enjoy your purchase.
