Dia de los Muertos - Designer Soap Range

We are so excited about stocking lovely Jo'burg designer Fiona Goldthorpe's Day of the Dead Soap range. 
Fiona launched this new range of 100% Natural handmade soap in collaboration with local Nature's Skin Food and we're obsessing over the 4 different variants, Activated Charcoal, Crushed Pearl infused with lemongrass oil, Asian Tree Bark with eucalyptus and spearmint oil, and Colombian Cacao.
 

Activated Charcoal
great for detoxifying skin

  
Crushed Pearl infused with lemongrass oil
made from real crushed pearls of Thailand. Highly regarded for centuries by the Chinese and with great anti-aging properties.
(real pearls?! Yes please!)
 
Asian Tree Bark with eucalyptus and spearmint oil
also wonderful for the skin, especially in healing skin conditions such as excema or psoriasis

Colombian Cacao
cacao was revered by the ancient Mayan and Aztec civilisations for its nutritional and cosmetic properties. Also infused with vanilla oils

A bit from Fiona: “The range is inspired by the Mexican ‘Day of the Dead’ theme. I love the graphic nature of this theme and thought it could transfer so well into this type of product. There isn’t really anything like it out there in the market. Locally designed, locally produced –  each piece is lovingly and beautifully made by hand. We went through quite a lengthy process of painstaking tweaks – to 3 different moulds, laser cutting, silicone moulding etc – along with deciding on which ingredients to use that would work well. I was quite pedantic that only 100% natural ingredients are added (also vegan friendly – no animal fats) and only essential oils added – no synthetic fragrance oils, that could irritate sensitive skin. And we have emerged with a rather beautiful unique product.”

Mmmm... can't decide which of the wonderful variants are our favourite, guess we'll just have to try them all!

Hope to see you in the shop soon.
