This soap was made for an online friend, across the miles 😊 A custom soap, I knew she was traditional/ old school in the way I am, with an appreciation for the old crafts and Mother Nature in all its description. I made a soap inspired by her and the place in which she lived and how indeed. How exciting this was. I think the feeling was like having a penpal and sending a letter with all the specialness that entailed, something I remember as a child. I used fresh lavender grown in the garden, a mix of both dead and himalyan sea salt crystals, beautiful dried rose petals, cinnamon bark and jasmine. With her love of patchouli, I used both light and dark, and vetiver 100% essential oils. With saponified oils of avocado, coconut, olive and shea butter. 😊 All handmade soaps are made with natural ingredients, but please read above to ensure ingredients do not interact with any allergies. *** All soaps are made using the traditional method, which is lye and water saponified with oils to create soap! No two soaps are alike. Each one is unique.
