A moisturizing soap to have on your shelf. Smells fresh and with a hint of garden herbs and olive oil.
This is one of the soaps that I recommend for general rashes, irritation, acne, baby rash, pet shampoo and for people with sensitive skin.
Both thyme and rosemary boost circulation and manage bacteria levels.
Please note batches may be decorated differently.
HOW TO WASH YOUR HAIR W/ A SOAP BAR
Washing your hair with a natural soap bar is easy, however there are a couple things to have on hand to ensure you hair doesn't dry out. Here are our tips:
- If you have been using a shampoo and conditioner with silicones, wash your hair with the shampoo multiple times, to remove the buildup- and then do not use conditioner. Try a conditioner that does not contain silicones, that way there will not be any buildup.
- Don't over wash. Only wash when there is actual oil from your scalp. Usually 1-2 times per week is enough.
- Have a pH balancer like NIH Toner Time, or a diluted apple cider vinegar rinse. Apple cider vinegar is a detangler and contains both enzymes and probiotic bacteria for your scalp.
- To moisturize, bottle-free- try an oil mask or seal your scalp with a simple wax product like our NIH all purpose waxes.
THYME 4 OLIVE OIL SOAP
ORGANIC & HOMEGROWN INGREDIENTS:
Pasture raised pork fat (lard from heritage pigs), extra virgin olive oil, local sunflower oil, local beeswax, thyme leaf, rosemary leaf, essential oil: rosemary. Made with filtered water and lye (saponifying agent).
Why do we use LARD in our SOAPS?
It is a local ingredient that our community produces in EXCESS. Leftover trimmings often go to WASTE. Choosing local and reducing imported ingredients is something we are passionate about! We believe it is sustainable to our immediate community, keeps prices down and allows us to really know where our ingredients come from.
Ingredient Sourcing:
We source from a local farm and butcher shoppe known for their pasture raised heritage pigs. We render the lard ourseleves. The animals are pasture raised and fed no GMO.
Organic Plants:
Sourced from organic Canadian suppliers and local farmers and largely from the Nature IS Health garden- where we do not spray any chemicals. I harvest the plants, air dry them and process them into infused herbal oils that we then add into our products, or add them into tea blends, or decorate our soaps/gift boxes.
Product Life:
We make small batches and use minimal additional oils/essential oils. The product is long-lasting and a little bit goes a long way. For longer shelf life please allow for soap to dry out in-between uses, as natural soap becomes gummy and soft when left to stand in water. We like to use a wooden or ceramic soap dish with proper drainage.
