Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess who adored the citrusy, warm aromatic decadence of bitter orange oil – or ‘the oil of romance’ as it was known. She would have loved this soap.  Besides the nourishing and cleansing combination of ingredients, oils & butters, this bar benefits from:-
NEROLI ESSENTIAL OIL:
A sweet, honeyed scent with spicy overtones. Marie Anne de la Tremoille is to be thanked for this beauty. She adored the essence of bitter orange and used it to perfume her gloves and bath. It caught on. Eventually, it came to know as ‘Neroli’ as Marie also happened to be the Princess of Nerola. Interesting eh?
Calming and soothing, it is very kind to mature and sensitive skin.
(One source claimed it was once used to help fight the plague – just saying, in case that’s an issue where you are).
FRANKINCENSE ESSENTIAL OIL:
A sweet, woody scent that is known to help alleviate stress.
Antiseptic & anti-inflammatory, it helps the healing of wounds. It can ease skin that is too oily and is especially good for mature skin.
No wonder one of the wise men thought it an apt gift for a small child born in Bethlehem!
MADDER ROOT:
Besides its beautiful colour, this ingredient helps to cleanse the skin by drawing out impurities and gently exfoliating.
