Tea Tree Soap

Tea tree oil has been used for thousands of year for its medicinal properties.  Studies have shown that it can be used to treat all three forms of infectious organisms:  bacterial, fungal and viral.  These qualities are what makes tea tree products good for acne, oily hair/skin, sunburn and a host of other skin ailments.  My tea tree soap also contains spearmint essential oil, which blended with tea tree oil provides an uplifting, fresh scent.  As with all my soaps, other oils such as coconut oil, olive oil and shea butter produce a great lather that nourishes your skin as it cleans.

Charcoal Soap

Activated charcoal has been used in recent years to detoxify your skin by drawing out impurities from beneath the surface.  Using charcoal soap doesn't harm your skin in any way, but it does provide a gentle, deep cleansing which is especially good for people with acne-prone skin types.  Activated charcoal is a safe and amazing ingredient, to learn more about it check out this site.  This soap also has tea tree oil and eucalyptus essential oil which create a wonderful scent together.

Lemongrass Soap

Things that are good for your body internally are often good for your body externally as well, which is why I like to use organic teas when making my soaps.  Teas have been used in various medicinal ways for centuries.  My great grandmother was a full-blooded Cherokee Indian who cared for sick people by wrapping them in clothes that had been soaked in herbal teas.  I'm told she "healed" many people that way.  Whether or not these practices work, you can't deny the smell of lemongrass tea is lovely - and so is this soap.  With lemongrass leaves throughout this soap, you get a gentle exfoliating effect while you bathe.  This is one of my favorites so far!  

Java Soap

Anybody who knows me had to know it was just a matter of time before I found a way to incorporate coffee into my soaps.  I LOVE coffee, but until I started researching healthy, all-natureal ingredients for your skin, I did not know that coffee could be used externally.  Studies have shown that caffeine applied to your skin can actually kill the abnormal cells that cause skin cancer.  It can also help rosacea by constricting blood vessels that cause the skin to flush. 

Perhaps one of the best uses for this soap is for deodorizing your hands after cooking.  Coffee is said to be able to remove odors of garlic and onions from your hands, and the coffee grounds throughout the soap make it excellent scrubbing away dirt.  You'll want to keep a bar of this by your kitchen sink.  

Lavender Soap

I've had many people ask me when I'm going to make lavender soap.....lavender soap is now available!  It's a beautiful bar made with the finest oils for the ultimate skin-nourishing benefits.  Lavender essential oil gives this soap its soft lavender aroma.  Soaps made with lavender essential oils can aid in the healing of skin infections because of its antibacterial and antiseptic properties.  Lavender is said to promote relaxation and stress-relief, making this an excellent soap to use just before bedtime - especially for children.

Ginger/Beer Shampoo Soap

You're gonna love the lather and conditioning this shampoo soap provides!  Yes, it's really made with actual beer, brewed by my friend Laura and her husband in their home using all-natural ingredients. The ginger essential oil gives this shampoo bar a slightly spicy fragrance.  In addition to B vitamins, the proteins in the malt and hops are said to repair damaged hair and boost overall body.  Meanwhile, the maltose and sucrose in beer tighten the hair's cuticles for enhanced shine.  Your hair may actually seem thicker after using Ginger/Beer Shampoo Soap.  This shampoo soap is great for washing your body and lathering your skin for shaving.  So if you happen to be traveling, consider this all-in-one product that won't spill and can be packed in your carry-on luggage for the plane.

Basil Soap

Few smells are as fresh and earthy as basil, which is why I wanted to make a soap utilizing that wonderful aroma.  Basil is a calming herb that has been used in many cultures to treat acne, headaches and stress relief, as well as many other ailments.
