Everyone loves lavender! It's a lovely, spicy scent, not cloying or flowery or sweet. Lavender helps heal bruises and scars, as well as being anti-biotic to help heal all wounds.
All of my soaps are made from scratch, not commercial "melt and pour" soap base. They contain NO chemical sudsing agents, no chemical hardeners and no chemical preservatives. In truth, most don't need the preservatives. Most of the herbs I use are naturally preserving in themselves.
