Oatmeal, Honey & Lavender Soap

Intention: To make a soap made with real lavender.  Because lavender essential oils can cause cold-process soaps to accelerate too quickly, we made this soap as a hot-process soap. We improved our previous recipe (Satin Lavender Soap) by adding nourishing honey, oatmeal and a touch of rosehip seed oil! Oatmeal, Honey & Lavender Soap is both cleansing and hydrating, and has natural lavender scent!

Each bar is over 4 oz. Keep your bar soap out of water while not in use, and it could last for months.  Minimal and eco-friendly packaging.

Ingredients: Olive Oil, Distilled Water, Coconut Oil, Sodium Hydroxide (lye), Sunflower Oil, Castor Oil, Rosehip Seed Oil, Lavender Essential Oil

Why We Chose These Ingredients:

• Olive Oil - antioxidants; oleic acids and polyphenols, moisturizing and creamy lather
• Water - hydrating, and part of the soap making process
  
• Sodium Hydroxide (Lye) - a caustic/alkaline reagent that, when mixed with fats and water,  will react (saponify) to create soap. Once cured, a properly made bar of soap will have no lye left in it when finished: it has been converted into soap.
  
• Sunflower Oil - rich in fatty acids and vitamin E, conditioning
• Castor Oil - high in ricinoleic acid; boosts bubbles; healing and anti-inflammatory
• Rosehip Seed Oil -  high in flavonoids, vitamin C, antioxidants; regenerative to skin
• Lavender - smells so lovely! anti fungal, calming, anodyne (mild pain relief)

Use: Use as a full body soap.
