Good For: All Skin Types, Dull Skin
Spring is almost here. It is a season of rebirth. The hours of daylight are growing and soon we will see flowers blossoming around us. It is also the time when I start planting basil seeds indoors in order to savor the magnificent flavor all summer long.
This creamy, moisturizing natural soap is handmade with a blend of pure plant oils, an oil infusion of basil leaves and flowers, and enriched with nourishing unrefined cocoa butter and flaxseed oil to brighten, refresh, and tone skin. A sprinkling of ground basil and barley grass adds a touch of gentle exfoliation.
The bright green leaves of basil are bursting with flavor. Basil essential oil has a spicy, refreshing herbal aroma with a warm anise-like scent. Basil enlivens dull-looking skin, improves skin tone, and brightens the complexion. It is often used to balance oil production, calm acne breakouts, alleviate dryness, and soothe irritated skin conditions.
Unrefined Flaxseed oil, a soothing and hydrating ingredient, is one of the richest plant-derived sources of omega-3 fatty acids which serve an important function for the health of our skin cells. The high concentration of Omega-3 gives flaxseed oil anti-inflammatory properties which may help ease the inflammation of skin conditions. Unrefined Flaxseed Oil, which helps seal in moisture and leaves skin feeling soft and hydrated, has been used since ancient times to ease problem skin.
A great source of oxygen-containing chlorophyll, barley grass has been used for centuries in topical applications to help in wound healing and in the treatment of skin irritations and diseases.
The combination of Basil, Rosemary, and Lavender essential oils refreshes and soothes the skin, mind, and spirit. The aromatic scent is so fresh, it's as if it were plucked straight from an herb garden in Tuscany.
We make limited quantities of our seasonal soaps, so once they are sold out, they are gone for the season.
