I didn’t even know I needed to pay attention to what ingredients were used to make the soap I was used to using on my skin, until I used some older handmade soap my mother had made and given me over 3 years ago! She had fallen in love with making soap years ago, and had even watched her mother and grandmother make their families’ soap from ashes and fat generations ago. While I appreciated her love of all things handmade, that I have always felt a pull toward, I had no idea the sudsy rabbit hole I was about to slip down!
For many years I have dealt with itchy little bumps that would pop up on my hands and wrists, especially during stressful times. As a jeweler and multi-passionate maker, I almost always have my hands in something dirty and need to do constant washing throughout the day. After having our littlest babe born with many medical issues, needing to keep clean hands was a must, and my hands just got worse and worse and turned into sandpaper. It was SO horrible!
The first handmade soap I found online, TRIED and LOVED:
The Charcoal and Tea Tree Aloe Vera Soap is just heavenly! It has a natural clean scent and even better does wonders for my hands, ,holds back face neck and chest acne. It’s a great nurturing soap for all of my skin as well.
