Rosehip Tea, Pulp w/Seeds, Oatmeal & Cow Milk Soap

Rosehips have the ability to help regenerate new skin cells and can be used to treat scars, acne and burns. While it is an astringent, it does not dry out the skin, but helps to rehydrate it, keeping the moisture in. Rosehips are high in vitamin A which is commonly referred to as the "skin vitamin" which helps to regenerate skin cells, healing wounds and scars. It also helps to keep the skin elastic and nourished. This will not only prevent wrinkles, but can actually help to minimize any that have already appeared. Rosehips also contain vitamins C, D, E and antioxidants to help protect cells by neutralizing external forces like sun damage, pollution, wind and temperature to assist in skin repair.

Oatmeal soap provides the right combination of exfoliation, cleansing, moisturizing, soothing and protection for the skin. Though oatmeal soap is a gentle exfoliating treatment for any skin type, and for moisturizing dry, flaky skin, ironically, it also absorbs excess oils in oily skin. Because it's so gentle, it can be used on sensitive skin. It provides nourishment for the skin, as well as soothing protection against harsh weather conditions. Oatmeal soap has been known to relieve skin irritations, reduce inflammation and heal rashes. If you find your skin parched or irritated from too much sun exposure, oatmeal soap can help alleviate sunburn pain. Ultimately, oatmeal soap balances the skin and can help restore its proper pH levels.Cow milk soaps are very gentle to the skin. The pH of milk soaps is very close to the natural pH of human skin, resulting in a naturally gentle product that cleans without the addition of harsh chemical additives.

 

I have included Cow’s Milk in my soap recipes for additional benefits.

 

Cow milk soaps are very gentle to the skin. The pH of milk soaps is very close to the natural pH of human skin, resulting in a naturally gentle product that cleans without the addition of harsh chemical additives.

 

All milk contains lactic acid. In low concentrations, such as those found in milk soap, lactic acid is a natural exfoliating agent, helping the skin shed dry skin cells resulting in healthier looking skin.

 

Milk soap naturally contains milk fats, triglycerides and vitamins and minerals which help moisturize the skin. For that reason, I only use whole milk in my cow's milk soaps, not reconstituted dry milk in which the milk fats have been removed.

 

Natural glycerin is a by-product of soap making and ALL of my soaps contain natural glycerin, an effective moisturizer. In commercial soap products, natural glycerin is usually removed by manufacturers and sold as a separate product. In addition to the list of chemicals you will find on commercial soap labels, those soaps may also contain detergents that irritate skin and make it dry. Glycerin is a humectant and draws moisture to your skin. I use only natural ingredients so that my handmade soaps clean gently without harming your skin. My handmade soaps are the only soaps I use on my own skin, face and body. My soaps (without exfoliants) can also be used as shampoo bars.
