Lavendar Natural Bar Soap with Hemp

  The photos aren't of the best quality, but this happens to be another mini soap bar from SunFeathers. This particular one is the Tea Tree Lavendar and Hemp soap bar. 

  As the photo shows, the bar of soap has tiny little flecks of hemp in it. These allow for gentle exfoliation when rubbed across the skin. Up close, they look similar to your cereal bowl when you've just finished eating frosted mini wheats. They're small and not abrasive so they're gentle enough for sensitive skin. This however may not be the perfect exfoliator for extremely dry skin, but to fix that, run your mini soap bar under the faucet and then dip it in sugar or cornmeal right before a shower! Then you have a perfect bar of soap with the perfect amount of exfoliant. Works wonders! Sugar works nicely, but I tend to like using corn meal for better results. Either will work.

  Incase you don't remember the history I posted on my last bit about the company SunFeathers, I've copied and pasted straight from their site. You can read it in full here.  

  "Our Story

PHOTO CREDIT: SunFeathers.com

SunFeather’s history began in the fall of 1979, when founder Sandy Maine blended a passion for fragrant and medicinal herbs with a fascination and skill for soapmaking. With a core value that a business can deliver positive products to consumers, Sandy pooled her talents and started SunFeather in her backyard with a vat of bubbling oil and $15.00 worth of local cedar oil.
For five years (while the business grew), Sandy hauled water in 5-gallon pails from a nearby spring to her farmhouse, which provided a peaceful setting and crystal clear water for making soap. Because she lived beyond the power lines (utilizing only a small generator and no telephone), all business was initially done by mail. Sandy visited the nearby town twice each week to place phone calls to customers. During that time, Saturday nights with her husband Louie were often spent wrapping and labeling soaps for shipment.

As the business grew, employees joined the business to help with the increasing workload. Eventually, Sandy gave up her role as soap maker and focused on product development, sales and marketing. Sandy’s work expanded to include authorship of numerous articles and books on soapmaking, herbal homekeeping and succeeding in business. Sandy’s work has expanded the appreciation and use of handmade soaps in ways she never anticipated. Sandy continues her product development legacy as we maintain the company’s founding philosophies. Great soap is here to stay!"


The Tea Tree Lavendar Hemp Soap is righ in fatty acids and possesses antibacterial properties of Tea Tree Oil. Remember all my Tea Tree Oil raving? Well, using it in soap is also beneficial to skin. Tea Tree Oil can be healing for cuts, scrapes, bruises, dry skin, and so many more!

Using the Tea Tree Lavendar Hemp Soap will rejuvenate and heal dry skin as well as sun damaged skin.

This is a great soap for those who are sensitive and suffer from breakouts. Tea Tree Oil alone is great for breakouts and I hear Lavedar is calming/soothing for inflammation.

SCENT

The Tea Tree and Lavendar Hemp soap has notes of lavendar, a slightly minty note and lemon. I think the Lavendar smell stands out most and that's what makes it a soothing, calming soap that's great for using right before bed. The scent of Lavendar soothes and calms. That is why it's sometimes used in baby and children's bath products. However, I want to say you should be VERY careful before introducing any new ingredients into the life of a child as they can be allergic. So can you so always look at the list of ingredients before using.

My skin isn't very sensitive, but I still feel that this soap is gentle enough for sensitive skin. It's a very relaxing soap to lather up with in the bath tub right before bed. Tired and achy bodies will rejoice. I'm extremely relaxed while soaking in a lather of this soap. 

I love the lavendar scent and for those of you who hate the pungent odor of tea tree oil, rest assured, you can barely smell it in this soap! I for one have been used to using tea tree oil since I was a kid so it doesn't bother me either way.

SunFeather always has amazing smelling soaps. I've yet to be unhappy with any of them. Keep one in the shower and store the rest of the bars in your clothes drawer or closet for a super fresh, clean scent! It isn't so strong that it overpowers or irritates. I can use it in the shower without problems and storing them in my drawers leaves just enough scent on my clothing that I get a nice  whiff when I put them on or open the drawer.
