For dry, sagging, mature & wrinkeled skin, anti-redness, anti-itching


GOAT'S MILK, GUAVA & GINSENG




Ginseng has been praised for its virtues since antiquity. It strengthens the heart, stimulates the circulation and the immune system in general. Siberian Ginseng extract consists primarily of the complex polysaccharides and associated glycoproteins from the root Elcutherococcus Senticosus. When applied to the skin, these compounds will form an invisible film on the skin that will tighten and smooth the skin. Best of all, the use of Siberian Ginseng Extract is totally safe and non-toxic. We combine another two important ingredients, Linseed (Golden Flax) oil and goat’s milk. Linseed is nature’s richest source of Omega-3 fatty acids (50-60% Omega-3s). This Alpha Linolenic natural fatty acid is wonderfully conditioning for the skin, leaving it smooth, soft and velvety. We add this lovely oil at the end of the soap manufacturing process as a “superfat”. This means that the emollient qualities of the oil are kept intact and do not *saponify in the soap mix. 
*(
Saponification is a natural chemical reaction that happens when oils, fats and butters (natural acids) are mixed with the alkali – soda. Oils are composed of fatty acids that require a certain amount of an alkali to “saponify” them, i.e. change them into soap.) We also include fresh, organic goat’s milk that makes the soap rich, creamy and moisturising, extra mild and gentle. Lastly, a herbal blend of essential oils, including Lavandin, Rosemary, Basil, Peppermint, Cedarwood with a lovely top note of Orange. These essences have a refreshing and tonic action on the skin, benefiting sluggish or congested skin types. Also a slightly astringent and antiseptic effect is achieved; therefore this soap is especially suitable for individuals who suffer with oily skin conditions, acne, dermatitis and psoriasis. It also makes a fabulous solid shampoo bar and has a soothing, anti-itching and cooling action for the scalp. The richness of this bar means that it can also be beneficial to dry, mature skin types. Guava fruit contains 5 times more Vitamin C than oranges (one fruit actually contains 200% of the necessary daily requirement), it also contains high amounts of calcium, most unusual in a fruit - and gives a wonderful texture to this incredible soap. It is also an effective astringent and helps tone and tighten the skin. It also contains vitamins A & B and minerals that are important for the skin’s health e.g. potassium. The high content of antioxidants in the ingredients included in this bar will leave your skin glowing.

For Acne, Eczema, Psoriasis, Spots, Good for Hair, Scalp and Shaving.


GOAT'S MILK, HONEY, LAVENDER & CEDAR



This is the second of our goat milk soaps, this one is even more concentrated than the first, made with only full fat, local, fresh goat’s milk (the “Goat’s Milk, Guava & Ginseng is a mix of spring water with the milk). Goat's milk is less allergic - It does not contain the complex protein that stimulates allergic reactions to cow's milk. Goat's milk contains twice the healthful medium-chain fatty acids. Goat’s milk has been recognised through the centuries as being moisturising and rejuvenating. If you are a person that has skin problems like psoriasis or eczema then this bar could be for you as the essential oils of Lavender and Atlas Cedarwood included in this bar have the reputation of being very soothing and healing. It has also is a very similar makeup (percentage of fats, etc.) to human milk and less lactose than cow’s milk. Another benefit is that it contains natural alpha hydroxyl acid, which has a natural, gentle peeling action on the skin that removes dead skin cells. Therefore, it indirectly is able to improve conditions like acne, spots, blackheads etc. Goat's milk also has high amounts of protein, fat, iron, vitamins C, D, B and A. These beneficial nutrients will nourish and care for the skin with an anti-inflammatory action that reduces redness and irritability. Besides its gentle, calming effect, goat's milk is also widely used to brighten the complexion. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and fragile.

For Blackheads & spots (all skill types)

OLIVE & LEMON SCRUB 



A wonderful herbal bar with essential oils of Rosemary, Pine, Lemon, Peppermint, Basil, Cedarwood, Ho Wood and Lime. This combination makes a refreshing, zesty natural aroma that is uplifting and stimulating. The essences help to remove toxic congestion, have a cooling action and can help relieve itching and inflammation. A very good soap for congested skin types with blackheads and spots. Also has an astringent effect, toning the skin and especially beneficial for the scalp and hair, encouraging hair growth. The soap is gently exfoliating with the fine particles of the olive stone and ground walnut shells - used to carefully polish the skin, riding the epidermis of dead skin cells and dirt.
