healing herb mother's milk castiles

many thanks to wing of tammywing, who has generously shared with me some fresh mother's milk from her friend.

using the mother's milk, i made these castile soaps (with 80% olive oil) with my newly acquired mugwort powder.





castiles are perfect for dryer seasons as well as for dehydrated, sensitive skin, due to the high content of olive oil. palm kernel helps to give mild lather which is gentle on skin. cocoa butter is used for superfatting, which has natural emollient properties.

mugwort is a herb which contains natural essential oils. it has been used to calm nervousness and as a herbal remedy for various ailments like bruises and skin irritations such as eczema. palmarosa and sweet orange essential oils are added for a calming and refreshing touch.

i will probably put these in my upcoming christmas gift packs.
