Chandanalepa Kohomba Ayurveda Soap is a 75g scrubbing soap built around Kohomba — the Sinhala name for the neem tree — and manufactured in Sri Lanka by the Sanjeewaka group, one of the country's most established Ayurvedic cosmetics producers. The bar combines a palm-derived soap base with a blend of herbal powders drawn from Sri Lankan Ayurvedic tradition, resulting in something rather more considered than an ordinary bar of soap.
Kohomba bark powder is the lead herbal ingredient, joined by Murunga root powder, Rasakinda powder, Savandara powder, and Aralu powder — five botanicals with deep roots in Sri Lanka's Ayurvedic practice. The presence of these ground plant materials gives the bar its scrubbing character, providing gentle physical exfoliation as you wash. Glycerin is included in the formulation, contributing to the soap's feel on the skin.
The soap is produced in Veyangoda, Gampaha District, under the Chandanalepa brand, which the manufacturer describes as Sri Lanka's largest Ayurvedic cosmetics producer, with an export presence spanning a dozen countries. The bar carries a declared Total Fatty Matter of 60%, the grading threshold set by the Sri Lanka Standards Institution for soap classification.
At 75g the bar is a practical, travel-friendly size, and the compact format makes it a straightforward way to try a piece of Sri Lanka's herbal soap-making tradition. It suits daily use for anyone looking for a soap that does a little more than simply cleanse.
