Dragons Blood

Dragons Blood w Hints of Patchouli Amber and Sandalwood

 

Purple Dragons Blood base with balls of Patchouli, Amber and Sandalwood polka dots to give it a cosmic visual fun fest! Made using the hot process method. This soap smells wonderful and it's enriched with Jojoba Oil, Avocado Oil, Sweet Almond Oil and Shea Butter for extra moisturizing goodness. Everytime I walk by my soap table I have to stop and smell it, it smells so, so good!

 

I use my soap as shampoo bars as well. It's a fun way to get clean from head to toe in one fell swoop ~ schwooosh! I then use a (very light) jojoba oil, shea butter and avocado butter mixture about every three days. I have very long, curly, unmanageable, frizzy, gnarly hair... and it actually pleases me. Not to mention no chemicals left to leech their way into my scalp! See how I smile in my pic? All because of natural remedies :-)

 

My method: Lather up a wash cloth really REALLY good and squeeze it out onto your hair. This is easier then trying to lather your hands and then transfer. Scrub it up and use the remainder for your body. Close your eyes for the hair part though - or ouch! Then rinse and you are all done. You've saved water, time and smell great too. Ah…

 

*I only use my 'plain' soap bars for shampoo bars. I don't use any soaps that have clay, oatmeal, coffee, poppy seeds, flowers, herbs… etc. You get the picture right? I don't want anything leftover hanging around making me look silly. I can do that on my own!

 

You will receive 1 bar approximately 4+ ounces. Some bars weigh as much as 5.5 oz and these bars will go first. I am a terrible cutter, but I try...

 

It's good to let your soap air out between uses for a longer lasting bar. Store your handmade soaps in a cool dry place letting them breathe. Very, very important for handmade soap! You don't want your soap absorbing every last bit of water it touches. I cut mine in quarters to make them last longer :-) and this way I can use a different soap everyday - yay me!

 

Hand crafted soaps are so good for your skin. No added chemicals and all the natural glycerin is retained. I'll never go back to buying store bought chemical laden soaps.
