Descriptions & Information
Anise Essential Oil (Pimpinella Anisum
Fruit Oil) – Made from the dried, ripe fruit of
anise.
Calendula (Calendula Officinalis
Flower) – Herbalists have longed used calendula
to soothe inflammation of skin and mucous membranes.
Cinnamon Oil (Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Leaf
Oil) – Essential oil obtained from the leaves
and twigs of cultivated trees.
Cinnamon
Powder (Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Bark) - Ground
bark from the Cassia tree.
Citric Acid
– Derived from citrus fruits by fermentation of crude
sugars. We use it in our bath bombs to produce their
fizzing properties and to adjust the acid-alkali
balance.
Coconut Oil (Cocos Nuciferal)
– A white, semi-solid, highly saturated fat expressed
from the kernels of the coconut. Our coconut oil comes
from agro-forestry communities in Malaysia and the
Philippines. (All of our soaps)
Ginger Oil (Zingiber
Officinale) - Essential oil of the dried root of ginger.
Good for reducing inflammation and as an aphrodisiac.
Hemp Oil (Cannabis Sativa) – This
Canadian grown seed contains the natural anti-oxidant
vitamin E and sterols which blocks cholesterol
absorption. Hempseed Oil is a key ingredient in
anti-inflammatory skin care products because it has a
low amount of saturated fatty acids and a high amount of
the polyunsaturated essential fatty acids.
Lavender Oil (Lavandula Angustifolia) –
An essential oil of the lavender plant.
Lemongrass Oil
Lime Oil (Citrus Aurantifolia)
– An essential oil extract from lime.
Oatmeal (Avena
Sativa) – Canadian oats have been used throughout the
ages by women and men to soothe itchy skin.
Orange Oil (Citrus Aurantium Dulcis) - An essential oil
of orange peels.
Peppermint Oil (Mentha Piperita)
- An essential oil extract from peppermint leaves.
Pine Oil (Pinus Sylvestris)
- An extract of various
species of Pinus.
Pumice – We buy our mineral
rich volcanic pumice from Mount Meager Pumice Company
from British Columbia, Canada.
Rosemary oil (Rosemarinus
officinalis) – The oil obtained from the flowering tops
of the rosemary plant. Beneficial for hair and skin.
Sage Oil (Salvia Officinalis)– Obtained by steam
distillation from the flowering tops of the sage plant.
Acts as an astringent and skin freshener.
Sodium
Hydroxide (Caustic Soda, Soda Lye) – An alkali used to
make soap. All soaps contain an alkali to start saponification, a fat and alkali process, which creates
the soap. Many soap makers get around from declaring
sodium hydroxide on their label by saying they use
saponified oils or sodium (name of oil) which just means
they are declaring the end process of the saponification
process instead of noting all the beginning ingredients.
It is impossible for oils and butters to combine and
lather without an alkali substance. We list all our
ingredients on our packaging.
Water
– Our water
comes straight from a mountain spring next to our home.
