Sandalwood essential oil is going extinct, so the cost is sky-rocketing to unbelievably unaffordable prices – this bath bomb is one of my last products ever made with sandalwood essential oil. A lovely smokey scent blended with sweet vanilla, this fizzing bath bomb is extremely moisturizing and therapeutic. A natural source of magnesium with epsom & Dead Sea salts.

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.
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.
