Description of Fragrances from the sellers webpages (Pure Nature):
Our Hemp fragrance oil is a realistic take on cannabis. Characteristic and authentic, this scent has a pleasing, earthy aroma. Hemp opens with bright citrus notes of lemon and lime. A heart of green leaves and true-to-life hemp makes up the bulk of this scent, while notes of vetiver and patchouli round out the base.
This fragrance oil is infused with birch tar, cedarwood, opoponax and patchouli essential oils.
The Shea butter is the yellow, unrefined
(description from the suppliers - Pure Nature - webpage:
"Our Ghanaian, unrefined Shea is a heavenly creamy, soft and silky Shea that is hand-made in rural Ghana. Made the traditional way, the crushed Shea nuts are roasted over an open fire so the finished butter has a mild smokey smell.
Yellow Shea gets its colour from the addition of the bark from the Borututu plant
(Cochlospermum angolensis) which is added during the boiling stage. Borututu is used in traditional medicine and has been shown to have antioxidant properties."

| Citric acid | in your soap serves a dual purpose. It helps your soap perform well in hard water by preventing mineral build up, ensuring a rich lather. Additionally, it acts as a natural preservative, extending the soap's shelf life for a longer-lasting product you'll enjoy. |

| Kawakawa | a native New Zealand plant, has held a special place in Maori culture for centuries. Maori people have traditionally used Kawakawa leaves in various ways, harnessing their unique properties for their well-being. The leaves were collected from our garden in the Kenepuru Sound. |
| Essential Oils | It's important to note that while essential oils have gained popularity for their natural origins, they can be potent and should be used with care. Essential oils may trigger allergies or skin sensitivities in some individuals, and their usage often requires dilution and proper knowledge. Which is why we’re very careful in our usage of them and often prefer to use Fragrance oils. We adhere to European safety regulations and never put more than 3% into our oils and usually use a mix of Essential oils to really be on the safe side here. As with our fragrance oils, we only buy from reputable sellers. |
