Gentle Lavender Handmade Olive Oil Soap Vegan

Description

This is my favorite olive oil recipe! Scented with relaxing essential oil of lavender. This recipe is more than 50% olive oil, with wheat germ oil added as a superfat to make this one nice bar of soap! Lathers good, smells great, and is so so gentle.

This soap was made by me, from scratch, using the cold process method. All the good glycerine is left in the soap during this process. No animal fats or by-products were used, making this a vegan friendly soap. It has a nice smooth texture, and lathers so nicely.

Ingredients:

Olive Oil for its mildness and conditioning. Olive oil softens skin and attracts moisture.
Coconut Oil for its ability to produce bubbly lather, and to help harden the soap.
Organic Canola Oil for its moisturing property, and because it adds a nice texture to the soap.
Grapeseed Oil for its ability to absorb into skin without leaving a greasy feeling. Grapeseed oil is rich in linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid quite important for the skin and the cell membranes.
Wheat Germ Oil, because it is so good to "mature" skin. Wheat germ oil is very rich in vitamin E making it a natural antioxidant. It nourishes dry and cracked skin, and helps to sooth such skin problems as eczema and psoriasis.

Essential Oil of Lavender, for its wonderful smell ! Aside from its wonderful fragrance which is found to be soothing and relaxing, lavender is helpful in treating an assortment of skin problems such as acne, eczema, insect bites, and more.

This listing is for 1 bar of handmade soap, approximately 5oz.

I no longer bevel my soaps as a matter of course. If you would like your soaps beveled, please drop a note in the "customer comment" section asking me to bevel them.

If you would like more than 1 bar of soap, please check out my "You Pick 3" or "You Pick 5" listings. Or just convo me. :)
