Manuka Facial Soaps





 This soap was made by rebatching a hot processed vegetable soap ( saponified coconut oil, olive oil, sunflower oil, & soybean oil ) with a generous amount of coconut oil.

I then added manuka honey for its world renowned healing properties, brown sugar for genlte exfoliation, & manuka essential oil for its anti-bacterial action. Then I topped it off with dried common English daisies for decoration.

The result is a very creamy & nourishing lather ideal for all skins types - even oily, acne prone skin.

The scent is mild & earthy.

Each soap has been individually wrapped for further cleanliness. Each soap will last for about
4 - 6 washes.

This listing is for a pack of 10 of these soaps in a mostly hand-made, upcycled container - complete with black organza ribbon & manuka braches. The wrapping on these soaps are also made of upcycled material.

The soaps weight 200 grams combined & are handcut.

*********************************************************************************************************

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!

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)."

Manuka honey: "Medical research supports claims that manuka honey can help prevent and fade scars as well as treat acne due to its ability to kill fungi and microorganisms. It is a natural honey made in New Zealand by bees that pollinate and consume flowers of the manuka bush. "

Coconut oil "It is generally considered safe, even infant skin, and doesn't commonly cause side effect reactions, such as allergic breakouts. The benefits of coconut oil moisturizer come from the coconut oil itself, which has strong antioxidant properties and is made mostly from fatty acids, lending itself well to skin moisturizer. It also has a high proportion of lauric acid, which may be antimicrobial and naturally beneficial to the body’s protective antibacterial defenses."
