The special ingredients and their benefits:
French Green Clay (AKA Illite Clay or Sea Clay): this clay is found and extracted from deep within the earth; its high mineral content and gorgeous green color comes from the plant matter it is made of.
Applied to the skin, French Clay has the ability to extract impurities and toxins absorbed by the skin. Whether this is from the makeup we use, or impurities found in out environment. Although when applied to the skin it draws out impurities, it also allows the essential healing minerals within to be absorbed by the skin.
Another amazing quality that is unique to this clay is that it has the ability to go directly to the area in which it's needed for healing. Due to its ability to do this and its natural anti-inflammatory properties, the healing process is greatly magnified.
This clay is superior for removing impurities, dust, oil, dead skin, and contaminants with its ability to absorb. Pulling toxic substances from skin invigorates the complexion and tightens pores.
Buttermilk: it's like a mini enzyme peel for your whole body :)
Milk is incredibly beneficial for the skin in many different ways. Its various ingredients serve a multitude of skin-improving purposes. Milk naturally contains Vitamins A and D, which helps to make your skin soft, yet strong. Further, the lactic acid in milk has natural beta hydroxy acids which not only exfoliate your skin, but soothe it.
As milk eliminates dead skin cells from the surface of your skin, it adds essential moisture. Milk also contains fat and proteins that provide the skin with a softer, more supple feeling.
Lavender Oil: there is a long list of the benefits of lavender oil. Some we're sure you know already. Some of the benefits it provides topically to the skin include its antiseptic and antifungal properties. It is used to treat various skin disorders such as acne, wrinkles, psoriasis, and other inflammations. It heals wounds, cuts, burns, and sunburns rapidly as it aids in the formation of scar tissues.
Spearmint: this antiseptic oil works well as an antiseptic for wounds and ulcers, protects them from septic and other infections and helps them heal faster. These antiseptic properties are due to presence of components like Menthol, Myrcene and Caryophyllene. The antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties of essential oil of spearmint make it a disinfectant. It can help get rid of internal infections and external infections. It is particularly effective in protecting wounds and ulcers.
All of our soaps are created using the cold process method. Because of the high glycerin content created in the process, please keep your soap in a well drained area to be sure it doesn't "melt" away! :)
