Flowers I Gathered

I made this soap using the same basic recipe as the "Oh Baby" soap to make a very gentle soap. The difference is I added essential oils (Litsea Cubeba, Ylang-Ylang, and Bergamot) for fragrance and some dried flowers for texture (chrysanthemum flowers and rosehips). The flowers on top help produce a nice lather and feel cleansing against your skin. This is a very unique soap, offered only by Gather a Lather.





This soap features:
Avocado oil, which contains vitamins A, D, & E, protein, amino acids, chlorophyll, glycerides. easily absorbed by skin, regenerates skin cells and softens tissue. Avocado oil helps moisturize and regenerate skin.
Sweet Almond oil is very mild and it helps soften and condition the skin.
Jojoba oil (actually a liquid wax) works a greaseless moisturizer for the skin and works with the skin’s natural ability to control moisture
Shea Butter is very gentle. It soothes and softens the skin and helps replenish dry and chapped skin.
Coconut oil, which also has moisturizing properties in the right amount (too much can be drying). Coconut oil also adds a nice creamy lather to this soap.
Palm oil, works well with coconut oil for a creamy lather.
Ylang-Ylang essential oil: Used in skin treatments to help with inflamation
Chrysanthemum tea: Used in skin treatments to help with acne.
Ingredients: Distilled water, Chrysanthemum tea, lye**, Coconut oil, Palm oil, Avocado oil, Sweet almond oil, Shea butter, Jojoba oil, Litsea Cubeba essential oil, Ylang-Ylang essential oil, Bergamot essential oil, dried chrysanthemum flowers, rosehips
