White Sage & Lavender:
A heady blend of lavender, herbs and aromatic woods summons the atmosphere of an old apothecary. Chamomile, rosemary and sage awaken the earthiness of Lavender whilst touches of cedar and sandalwood in the base are enhanced by clove and lavandin.
Properties of oils / materials used:
| Tallow | Provides excellent hardness to soap for long-lasting bars. Produces a creamy lather with good cleansing properties. Contains skin-friendly vitamins A, D, E, and K. Natural antioxidants help protect the skin. |
| Coconut | Creates a bubbly and effective cleansing lather. Adds firmness to soap bars for durability. Contains natural antioxidants to provide some skin protection. |
| Sunflower Oil (High Oleic) | Contributes to a creamy and stable lather in soap, enhancing its cleansing properties. Rich in oleic acid, sunflower oil helps nourish and soften the skin without feeling greasy. Contains antioxidants such as Vitamin E, which may help protect the skin from environmental stressors. These properties of high oleic sunflower oil make it a valuable addition to soap, offering cleansing, nourishing, and protective benefits for the skin. Even better - this Sunflower oil HO is produced here in New Zealand. |
| Shea Butter | Provides deep nourishment and skin support. Adds creaminess and hardness to soap bars. Packed with vitamins A, E, and F, as well as antioxidants for skin health and repair |
| Castor | Attracts moisture to the skin, ensuring hydration. Enhances lather and bubbles for a satisfying wash. Contains vitamin E and essential fatty acids for some skin nourishment. |
| 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. |
| Sugar | Added to soap recipes to increase lather and bubbles. Acts as a natural humectant, attracting moisture to the skin. |
| Lanolin | Extracted from sheep's wool, it's a natural, creamy emollient. Renowned for its ability to lock in moisture and prevent water loss. Provides a protective barrier on the skin, helping to keep it soft and supple. |
| Colloidal oatmeal | has been used for centuries as a natural skincare ingredient. It contains unique antioxidant and anti-inflammatory plant chemicals called avenanthramides. While scientific research on its effectiveness for modern skincare needs is ongoing, many people have found colloidal oatmeal beneficial in the past. Our handmade soap is formulated with this time-tested ingredient, offering a gentle exfoliating experience. |
| Fragrance Oils | The fragrances we use come from reputable sources and are phthalate-free. (Phthalates are synthetic chemicals sometimes used in fragrances, and they have been linked to potential health concerns such as allergies, skin irritation, and even disruptions to hormonal balance.) |
