Lavender Essential Oil Soap



Lavender has long been associated with cleansing and bathing - the name itself is derived from the Latin word 'lavera' which means 'to wash'. This soap combines classic ingredients with modern styling and sensibilities. A treat for your mind and body, without the chemicals.

Chunky bars which can be cut in half for smaller hands, to save half for later, or to share.

Lavender Essential oil is calming and relaxing with antiseptic properties and skin healing effects. It is used to relieve pain from tension headache and to help relieve coughs and respiratory infections. Lavender oil may also be used as a mosquito repellent, as an antiseptic, applied to minor burns, acne, insect bites and stings. Lavender oil may also help sooth sunburn. Perhaps the best known use of Lavender is as an aid to restful sleep.

Cold Processed and cured for at least 4 weeks. Bars weigh approx. 140g.

Ingredients: Olive oil, Palm oil, Coconut oil, Sunflower oil, Lavender Essential Oil, Colour.



Soothing Calendula Soap




100% natural! This unscented Calendula soap contains calendula infused oil and calendula petals. The natural colours are the infused oil and paprika.

Calendula (Marigold) has long been used in herbal remedies to heal wounds and soothe skin. It is used topically for acne and eczema, for reducing inflammation, healing wounds and soothing irritated tissue.

Ingredients: Calendula infused Olive oil, Palm oil, Coconut oil, Sunflower oil, Calendula petals, paprika.

Ocean Salt Spa Soap



Swimming in sea water is one of the best things you can do for your skin. But if you cant get to the beach, then a Salt Soap is the next best thing! Dont pay oodles of dollars for a Spa treatment - do it yourself while you bathe.
 
Salt gently exfoliates, removing dead skin cells and revealing the fresh young cells beneath, leaving the skin glowing. Salt also draws out toxins and pollutants for a deep clean.

Mineral rich sea salt helps your skin (and by absorbtion, the rest of your body) maintain it's natural balance. These minerals help in the creation of new skin cells, help fight allergies and infections, maintain fluid balance, help your muscles relax and your nerves transmit signals.

Salt soaps are great for troubled or acne prone skin!

These bars look scratchy, but they arent - the salt slowly dissolves and the bar becomes smooth like a polished rock (its really quite pretty). 

Scented with 'Hawaiian Breeze' - Smells like an ocean breeze, with some very subtle floral/fruity notes.

Ingredients: Coconut oil, Olive oil, Castor oil, Sea Salt, Colour, Fragrance. Average weight 130g.

Spot Rocks - Facial Soap

Blast those spots with activated charcoal, Tea Tree essential oil and pure soap!


Handmade soap with non-clogging, skin nourishing oils. These 'rocks' are hand-shaped to fit comfortably in your hand and weigh Approx. 50g. Rub the soap directly on problem areas or lather up in your hands and rub lather on face or body.
Activated charcoal is a specially processed form of carbon. It draws impurities and toxins out of the skin, helping to relieve acne and other skin problems. Activated charcoal has been used for centuries to purify water and as a poison antidote, and is still used to this day! The secret is in the structure - millions of microscopic 'pores' in the carbon give it high adsorptive powers. It literally sucks up the nasties! Activated carbon is also antibacterial, so it can help clear up or prevent infections. The mild exfoliation of charcoal helps keep dead skin cells from blocking pores and exposes glowing, fresh new skin.



Tea Tree oil is amazing stuff! Studies have confirmed its antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiseptic qualities - often being more effective than conventional treatments. For acne, Tea Tree oil will help cut through excess oil and kill off acne causing bacteria. Tea Tree oil also helps reduce swelling and redness, and helps wounds heal.

*Note - be aware that this soap will likely make acne appear worse for a day or two - this is because it is drawing all the deep down yuck to the surface. Keep with it, and those spots will clear and heal.



Cold Processed and cured for at least 4 weeks.
Ingredients: Olive oil, Palm oil, Coconut oil, Castor oil, Activated charcoal, Tea tree essential oil, Mica.

Outrageous! makes no medical claims - consult your doctor if you have severe acne or other skin issues.
