New Face Wash!

Our new Rose Pomegranate Face Wash has cured and has now been added to the site! 

This face wash has been specially formulated for the face and is infused with vitamin C packed ingredients!  These ingredients include pomegranate powder, rose water, and a blend of grapefruit & geranium essential oils.  You will love the scent of grapefruit and geranium essential oils blended with the light aroma of the rose water.  Our Pomegranate Rose soap is neither too fruity or powdery, but softly balanced.

Our new soap gets its lovely, natural color from French Rose Clay, which is often used in face masks and for other skin care uses.  Rose Clay is a very mild detoxifying clay, and is appropriate for all skin types, from dry to oily.

The oils we use in this wash include olive oil, mango butter, castor oil, avocado oil, and one of our new favorite oils, babassu!  Babassu oil is similar to coconut oil, and the nut from which it is derived looks sort of similar.  The difference is that a lot of people allergic to coconut oil, can use products that have babassu instead!  We love it because it is more moisturizing than coconut oil.  When using coconut oil in high concentrations in soap making, it can often have a drying effect on the skin (it is very clarifying), so we have to be careful.  In our body bars we blend coconut oil with a high concentration of olive and castor oils so that our soap is not drying.  Babassu oil on the other hand can be used in higher concentrations with better results than coconut oil, so we are very excited to be using it, and will likely introduce more products that contain this oil.  Just working with it and getting it on my hands felt wonderful (it has the same melting point as coconut oil), and I found myself later slathering it onto my body because it would absorb into the skin amazingly well without leaving a greasy feeling behind.

We’re excited to be releasing this new face wash and to hear what you think!
