Our new Spa Soaps came out this week.  We love them because each spa soap is made with only high quality essential oils and formulated with specific face and body beneficial clays. There are four different soaps in this collection.  These bars are more rustic looking and heavier in weight than the majority of our other bars due to the process we use to make these.

Spiced Orange Spa Soap contains French red clay and is best suited for normal to oily skin types. French red clay comes from Hematite Iron, its coloring the result of the copper oxides contained in the rock. It is rich in kaolinite, illite, montmorillonitea and calcite; it cleanses, detoxifies and exfoliates the skin, leaving it refreshed, toned and rejuvenated.

Lemongrass Spa Soap contains Kaolin clay and is recommended for all types of skin types but is especially beneficial for dry skin issues. Kaolin is the mildest of all clays and helps stimulate circulation to the skin while gently exfoliating and cleansing it. It does not draw oils from the skin, so it is best suited on dry skin types without negative results. Kaolin as found in nature usually contains varying amounts of other minerals such as muscovite, quartz, feldspar, and anatase.

Eucalyptus Mint Spa Soap contains Bentonite clay and is recommended for all types of skin problems and to speed healing. Bentonite, also referred to as Montmorillonite, is one of the most effective and powerful healing clays. It is composed of aged volcanic ash and unique due to its ability to produce an “electrical charge” when hydrated. Upon contact with fluid, its electrical components change, giving it the ability to absorb toxins. Bentonite is known for its ability to absorb and remove toxins, heavy metals, impurities, and chemicals. Healing clays like Bentonite have a high concentration of minerals including silica, calcium, magnesium, sodium, iron, and potassium.

Lavender Tea Tree Spa Soap contains French green clay and is recommended for all skin types but especially helpful for skin suffering from acne, eczema and psoriasis. French green clay contains montmorillonite, decomposed plant material such as kelp and seaweed, magnesium, calcium, potassium, dolomite, silica, manganese, phosporous, silicon, copper, selenium, and up to nine mineral oxides. These elements work synergistically to nourish and gently detoxify skin, while the added olive oil moisturizes and softens it.
