An Ode To New Zealand - All Natural VEGAN Soap - Very Healing

I moved to New Zealand from the States on January 11, 2012 - My birthday! I made this soap to celebrate my one year anniversary of living in this awesome country.

This hot processed soap was made with coconut, olive, and soybean oils with a generous handful of native fuchsia flowers blended into it at trace. I then hand-milled the soap a day later with grapeseed oil.

I also added essential oils of maunka, lemon, and tea tree. The scent is slightly earthy, clean, and sweet. To finish it off I decorated with manuka branches that I gathered from a hike and lavender  petals.

 

 Since this is an all natural soap, you can even use it to wash your hair - I know I do!

They weight approximately 175 grams.

Awesome for people afflicted with facial and body acne. Also good as a anti bacterial hand soap to have at the sink.

Natural soap is more beneficial than your typical store bought soap because its retains its glycerin and other beneficial properties. This soap is also vegan friendly and has an awesome lather!

Grapeseed oil is high in antioxidants which helps to keep free radicals from damaging skin. "The flavanoids contained in grapeseed oil can inhibit allergic reactions, and may help with fighting skin problems such as eczema or psoriasis. It also penetrates the skin quickly and has almost no odor, and is therefore usually non-irritating."

 Manuka "is one of three teatrees indigenous to Australia and New Zealand. Manuka essential oil from NZ has been confirmed as having the highest antimicrobial activity, evidence indicating that it is up to 20 times more potent than Australian teatree (Melaleuca alternifolia)."

Tea Tree Oil "Best known as a very powerful stimulant,it can help fight bacteria, fungi and viruses. Used in vapour therapy, teatree can help with colds, measles, sinusitis, and viral infections. For skin and hair, teatree has been used to combat acne, oilyskin, head lice and dandruff."

Lemon is also excellent on oily skin and acne and makes this soap smell awesome as opposed to medicine-like.

Garden Witch - Very Luxurious Herbal Egg Soap

I made this herbal soap using whole eggs that came from free range chickens. The chickens in question can be seen roaming around my landlords spacious farmland pecking happily at the ground.

I added the yokes to my vegetable oils ( coconut, olive oil, and soybean oil) and the whites to my lye solution and made a hot processed soap. I then hand-milled the soap a day later with grapeseed oil, beeswax, and herbs from my garden:

Purple Borage Flowers
Purple Sage
Peppermint
Lavender
Spearmint

And to finish it off I added essential oils of Clary sage, Lavender, Peppermint and Spearmint and decorated the top with dried spearmint leaves and lavender petals. The scent is both clean and earthy while the oils also lend skin regenerating and cleansing properties.

They weight approximately 70 grams.
