General information on our handmade soap

This herbal indulgence is based on a palm oil handmade soap, but with special herbal extracts to create the most luxurious bath soap.

Apart from the herbal extracts, we also included dried calendula petals to add more color to the soap, as it contains no artificial color or fragrance, and relies solely on the natural color and fragrance of the herbal ingredients - which are superb.

Ingredients used in our Herbal Body bar

Our Body bar has an unique and extraordinary formula, in which a blend of various pure herbs and natural ingredients are combined to create this remarkable product. It contains the following herbs and natural ingredients: calendula, almond, camomile, lavender, palm oil and soy.

To place these herbs in perspective, and the reason for their inclusion in our Body bar, we have included a short summary of each ingredient used. For more information on each individual ingredient, please click the hyperlinked text.

  • calendula
    • It is a botanical compound often used, as it has excellent properties for skin care and helps with cell rejuvenation, wound healing, reducing inflammation and it soothes and softens the skin.
    • Calendula is particularly helpful with cracked and damaged skin and has a humectant action on the skin, which helps with dry and dehydrated skin, while the cell rejuvenating properties are most useful in older as well as damaged skin.
    • Furthermore, it has a slightly antiseptic and bactericidal effect and also helps with re-mineralization, due to the oligoelements contained in the compound.
  • almond
    • Sweet almond oil is a noble oil with highly emollient properties. The unsaturated fatty acids contained enhance the regulation of the lipid phase of the cutaneous mantle.
    • It is extremely well tolerated and is used in cosmetics for its moisturizing, lubricating, sebum-restorative and re-epithelizing properties.
    • The un-saponifiable part of the product, comprised mainly of squalene, tocopherols and phytosterols (principally campesterol, stigmasterol and sitosterol types), provide the skin with highly nutritive substances.
    • The topical application of sweet almond oil acts on the connective tissue of the skin and improves the tone and elasticity.
  • camomile
    • It has a special chemical composition and is ideal for use on sensitive and delicate skin. It has excellent decongestant properties, as well as being a powerful anti-inflammatory. Apart from the anti-allergy effect it has, it is also active in wound healing as well as healing ulcers.
    • Furthermore, it has great scavenging properties for neutralizing free radicals, and thereby preventing oxidative stress and aging, while the vaso-dilating properties promote circulation to the skin.
    • On the scalp, it is just as effective and also helps to prevent any itching and rashes. It is often included in good quality hair care products.

  • lavender
    • It is mainly used for its antiseptic and anti-dandruff properties, but also has antibacterial, spasmolytic (relieving spasms) and local pain killing actions.
    • It contains ursolic acid, which is not only antibacterial, but is also active against lipid oxidation and inhibits elastase (which results in tissue degeneration), inflammatory processes, and tissue degradation such as psoriasis and eczemas.
    • The rosmarinic acid and polyphenolic derivatives have good antioxidant properties, which are helpful in countering aging.
  • palm oil
    • It is a pure natural ingredient containing both vitamins A and E. When used while making soap, it helps to create a natural bar of soap that does not go mushy at first use.
  • soy
    • The oil has a regenerative effect on the cutaneous tissues due to the presence of unsaturated fatty acids, and therefore enhances local circulation in the area treated to bring about revitalization of the dermis.
    • The combined properties of soybean oil make it a valued emollient for cosmetic use.
    • Not only is it a superb moisturizer, but its intrinsic phytoestrogen content is valuable in promoting good skin care. It has a protease inhibitor effect that plays a role in fighting unwanted changes in the cell, since it has anti-tumor properties.
    • What stands out is the high proportion of phytosterols in the oil. These components have been attributed with the improvement of certain disorders of the conjunctive tissue and cutaneous injuries, because they cause an increase in the collagen biosynthesis of the fibroblasts and enhance the reduction of the reticular collagen.
    • Soy may therefore be used in specific treatments for aged skin, thanks to the revitalizing and emollient properties of phytosterols.
