Today was cold & yucky so I decided on a warm homey soap. So I went with Rooibos, 100% olive oil, ground flax & rye for scrubbers, cinnamon, pear pieces and a dash of sweet orange EO. Hopefully it will have several shades from deep golden brown to light creams in the swirl . Rooibos is is an amazing herb, unique to the mountains of South Africa; it's benefits as a tea taken internally, as well as in skin preparations are numerous. It is known for it's anti-itching properties and soothing effects on eczema, psoriasis, diaper or prickly heat rashes, and acne; it's zinc and alpha hydroxy content is high.
I infused the entire liquid portion of this soap recipe with a strong rooibos tea also.
Cross your fingers & we'll see tomorrow....
