Raw organic honey is completely unheated, unpasteurized, unprocessed. Commercial honey is often heavily processed and may even have been chemically refined. Excessive heat destroys the natural enzymes, vitamins, and minerals in honey. Filtering and processing eliminates many of the beneficial phytonutrients including pollen and enzyme-rich propolis. Raw organic honey has much higher levels of nutrients and antioxidants, which help promote the growth of good bacteria while killing the bad bacteria, soothes & heals wounds, blocks free radicals, aids sleep, counters pollen allergies, and can help maintain a healthy heart.

Activated Charcoal

Activated Charcoal draws impurities out of the skin, heals acne, and prevents further breakouts. Also an anti-aging ingredient, activated charcoal is said to tighten pores and smooth the skin. It also reduces inflammation, which is significant in preventing premature aging.

Tea Tree & Thyme essential oils

Tea Tree & Thyme essential oils are both powerful natural antibiotics. Together they are amazing at fighting acne without the usual negative side-effects of other skin-clearing products (redness, dryness, etc), leaving skin smooth & improved. Helpful for other skin issues such as eczema & psoriasis, and are useful anti-ageing agents.

What Does “Saponified” Mean?

Saponification is the chemical reaction used in the soap making process. When the oils and fats are combined with lye (a strong alkali) they are called saponified. At the end of the process the lye is all gone, and you are left with just soap. To learn more about this, have a look at my blog post on the subject.

 

About “Filler” Oils

Cheaper oils are often used as a “filler” but I don’t use them because they don’t add much nutrient value to the soap.

I don’t use palm oil in any of my products, since its production is harmful to the environment, destroying critical habitat for many endangered species, as well as being linked with the eviction of forest-dwelling peoples. Find out more here.

I only use high quality oils and butters that are filled with beneficial nutrients for the skin. Learn more about this on my blog.
