Citrus Soap


This refreshing soap has tiny pieces of orange peel throughout each bar to serve as an exfoliant to your skin.  It also contains grapefruit essential oil, which provides a soft, bright scent.  Citrus oil is a natural antiseptic when used in soap.  It's also antimicrobial and works to disinfect as it cleans.  Orange oil can help prevent inflammation, which makes this a good soap to use for shaving.

Chamomile Honey Soap


The beautiful thing about making soap is that I get to create my own recipes using ingredients that I enjoy.  This soothing and nourishing bar of chamomile honey soap will soften your skin as it cleans.  The subtle sweet smell is as delightful as a cup of tea.  Chamomile is a long standing medicinal herb that was used by the Egyptians in their beauty rituals.  It has healing properties, which includes toning the skin, is good for rashes, softens skin and acts as an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial.  Honey is a natural moisturizing humectant with anti-microbial qualities.  Together these ingredients create a wonderful soap that is great for sensitive skin.
