Handmade soap scented with lime. Enriched with organic shea butter. 4 oz

This is a refreshing, lively soap and ideal to pep you up when you need some zing.

So you may notice that in French, this soap is described as being Green Lemon scented.  We have translated this as a lime because limes are not actually lemons but a citrus fruit in its own right.

Fun fact: Originally from India or Malaysia, lime was imported into Europe by the Crusaders. Grown in tropical and subtropical regions, the lime tree is an evergreen shrub, which produces limes throughout the year.

Handmade surgras soap with Rosemary added cold. Ideal for dry and fragile skin. Enriched with organic shea butter. 4 oz.

Rosemary finds its origins on Mediterranean lands. It is a shrub with a purple flower. It thrives on heat and can not stand low winter temperatures. This makes it an indoor plant during the cold season. Its aromatic properties are used in gastronomy as well as in well-being. Its name comes from the Latin "ros marinus", which means dew of the seas. In the Christian tradition, it is associated with a white flower on which Mary would have placed a blue cape before giving birth. Thus, the rosemary gave a blue flower. This legend, also called "Rosemary" could have given the name Rosemary.

Handmade soap perfumed with pines. Enriched with organic shea butter. 4 oz.

Pine is an old tree of Euro-Siberian origin. Its name comes from the Latin pinus which itself comes from the word Pic, of Indo-European origin and which means "bitter". Pine is a tree that grows on soils without vegetation, because its needles are difficult to decompose. This leaves the undergrowth vegetation unlikely to develop. Its scent is felt in the woods, especially in parts where the soil is poor and acidic.

Handmade soap flavoured with tea. Enriched with organic shea butter. 4 oz.

Tea grows today in most countries around the world. His discovery was attributed to the Chinese emperor Shennong who healed from medicinal plants. The tea therefore comes from China, the country in which it is the official drink. We used to eat it in the form of a soup, to which we added a little salt and spices. Buddhist monks used tea as their main drink. The tea was then exported during the Ming Dynasty and began to spread in many countries.

Handmade soap scented with lemon verbena. Enriched with organic shea butter. 4 oz.

Lemon verbena, or lemon verbena, is native to Peru. Discovered and brought back by a French naturalist from the 18th century, this plant, which fears severe frosts, is then sheltered at the Orangerie du Louvre. The delicious fragrance of this small shrub, as well as its color and elegance so seduce, that it is soon acclimatized in the south of France and in Italy. In addition to its known use in infusion, an essential oil is extracted from the plant, which is used in the composition of perfumes and care products.
