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.
Since this is an all natural soap, you can even use it to wash your hair - I know I do! Egg soap is especially awesome for this.
People suffering from eczema, psoriasis, and acne can benefit greatly from this soap.
Natural soap is more beneficial than your typical store bought soap because its retains its glycerin and other beneficial properties. Egg soap produces some the richest lather you will ever experience and makes skin silky smooth.
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."
Beeswax is anti-inflammatory, antibacterial & antiviral making it an excellent skin healer. beeswax is not only an emollient but humectant as well, "drawing moisture to the skin and sealing it in". It also creates a protective barrier on the skin.
