From the Founder
I built what
I couldn’t buy.
I track my macros, time my rest periods, and obsess over every input that goes into my body. One day I asked the obvious question — why hadn’t I thought about what goes on it?
My Story
I trained daily, tracked my macros, and paid attention to everything I was putting in my body. Reading ingredient labels on food became a habit, but it wasn’t until I looked at the back of my body wash that I realized I wasn’t giving my skin the same treatment as the rest of my body.
Me one week after quitting my engineering job to start a soap company
Two things became hard to ignore. The first was the ingredient label: my body wash was a list of synthetic detergents, fillers, and irritants — the same kind of junk I worked so hard to keep out of my diet. The second was that my regular soap wasn’t keeping up with my training. The drive home from the gym was thirty minutes, and by the time I got in the shower the sweat had already settled into my skin. Even with daily showers, I started breaking out across my back, arms, and shoulders. My soap wasn’t working for the body I was building.
I went looking for something else. The natural soaps I found were better for my skin but didn’t give me the cleanse I needed after a hard session, and the ingredients in the products that would fix my breakouts read like a chemistry exam. Nothing was made for someone who took both training and natural ingredients seriously. So I started reading about saponification, natural cleansers, and ionic adsorption. Before long I was running batches in my kitchen, and eventually pouring something I trusted into a mold.
That product became the Split Stack. Where training-grade meets natural-grade.
Who This Is For
Not just athletes.
Anyone who cares about their inputs.
You don’t need to be a competitive lifter or a marathon runner. If you’ve started paying attention to what you put in your body — reading labels, cutting junk, choosing quality over convenience — Split brings that same standard to your skin.
How It’s Made
Cold-process.
Saponification by patience, not heat.
Saponification is the chemical reaction that turns plant oils and lye into soap and natural glycerin. Cold-process is the oldest way of making it happen — oils combined with a small amount of sodium hydroxide at low temperatures, then left to saponify on their own. No external heat. No mechanical acceleration. The reaction generates exactly the energy it needs and nothing more.
The reason it matters is what survives. Heat-processed soaps strip the natural glycerin from the oils and degrade the active compounds in essential oils — including eucalyptol, the molecule responsible for the cooling sensation in Split. Cold-process keeps the glycerin in the bar and the eucalyptol intact, so every ingredient does the work it was put there to do.
What Stays Out
Five ingredients in.
Everything else out.
