Buttercup Hot Process Facial Soap

Sweet blood orange, lavender & ylang ylang essential oils, with soothing cocoa butter, raw goat milk & organic carrot juice

Are you a gentle flower with dry, delicate, perhaps not-as-young-as-you-used-to-be skin? You need a facial bar that soothes & moisturizes as it cleanses, & Buttercup is just the thing... I start with my fabulous coconut-free hot process formula, local raw goat milk, organic carrot juice & agave nectar for a super mild, gentle bar. Then I add a chunk of face-loving organic cocoa butter & a drizzle of meadowfoam seed oil to make sure your skin is nicely moisturized. Finally, I add a beautiful blend of essential oils picked specifically to benefit dry & delicate skin, but that also smell absolutely amazing - light & sweet, gently fruity & floral. Buttercup is a special treat for delicate bunnies. (Yes, you can use it as a whole-body bar, as well!) Follow your cleansing routine with my Goat Milk Cream for incredibly rich, non-greasy moisture.

This listing is for one (1) chunky 3.75-ounce bar of hot process soap, made from scratch by me in my own workshop. If you find glycerin soaps a bit too drying, this is the bar for you. I've spent several months developing a coconut- & shea-free, formula that lathers beautifully & is packed with nourishing vegetable oils & butters. I make my hot process soap in small batches, & allow each batch to cure for 3 weeks to ensure a firm, mild bar. Each hand-cut bar measures 3x3x1 inches, & weighs approximately 3.75 ounces. As always, your soap will arrive hand-wrapped, with all ingredients clearly labeled for your peace of mind:

Olive Oil, Organic & Sustainable Palm Oil, Water, Goat Milk, Organic Carrot Juice, Sodium Hydroxide (saponifying agent), Mango Seed Butter, Castor Oil, Organic Palm Kernel Oil, Avocado Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Sodium Lactate, Agave Nectar, Citrus sinensis (Blood Orange) Oil, Lavandula officinalis (Lavender) Oil, Cananga odorata (Ylang Ylang) Oil, Organic Cocoa Butter, Meadowfoam Seed Oil

Since I work in small batches, you may notice slight variations in color from bar to bar. Hot process soap has a marbled, natural appearance. Streaks, swirls & blobs are all part of the charm, & in no way affect the quality of your soap. What the heck is hot process soap, anyway?
