This Lavender & Charcoal Soap was designed primarily for use on the body, but it’s also suitable for the face. In particular, the olive oil and cocoa butter are moisturizing so they make it suitable for combination or drier skin. If you have oily facial skin, the Charcoal Facial Soap is for you. The lavender provides a nice scent to help you relax, de-stress and helps diminish anxiety.
Each bar of soap weighs approx 3.8 ounces.
I make this soap using the cold-process soap method, using natural ingredients to ensure you the best experience. They are also cut by hand allowing me to put my touch into every bar of soap I sell.
Because of the handmade nature, each bar may be slightly different in shape and color. Please note, this soap does best and will last the longest when kept dry in between uses.
As always, free shipping on all orders of $50 or more! Use code FREESHIP.
Ingredients: olive oil, palm oil, coconut oil, lye, cocoa butter, lavender essential oil, charcoal and sodium lactate.
Olive Oil contains three major antioxidants: vitamin E, polyphenols, and phytosterols. Antioxidants, when topically applied, may help protect the skin from premature skin aging. Vitamin E partly accounts for the anti-aging benefits of olive oil because it helps restore skin smoothness and protects against ultraviolet light. Hydroxytyrosol, a rather rare compound found in olive oil, also prevents free radical damage to the skin.
Coconut oil is predominantly made up of saturated fats which are medium chain fatty acids or triglycerides. When applied on the skin, they keep it smooth to the touch. Due to the presence of these fats, coconut oil also retains the moisture content of the skin, as the fats eliminate moisture loss through the pores on skin.
Palm oil is one of the richest edible oils known to man. The oil is full of many healthy fatty acids, as well as an assortment of vitamins, antioxidants, and other phytonutrients. Additionally, the oil has incredibly high levels of vitamin A and vitamin E. Palm oil is very moisturizing and never dries out your skin. Also, adding palm oil into any natural soap results in the soap having a pleasant lather with nice medium bubbles. Finally, palm oil increases the hardness of the bar and helps it last longer.
Activated charcoal draws bacteria, poisons, chemicals, dirt and other micro-particles to the surface of skin, helping you to achieve a flawless complexion and fight acne. Charcoal is not metabolized, adsorbed or absorbed by the body.
Because sodium lactate is a salt, it is a natural humectant, providing moisture to the skin.
