| We purchase fresh carrots from the markets
of Bali's farming region; Karangasem. Then extract the fresh, vitamin-rich
juice. We add the juice to the soap at the end of the soapmaking process
as to not deplete the juice of its vitamins and minerals. Carrot
(Daucus Carota Sativus) is suitable for all skin types. It is known for
being rich in beta-carotene, a great anti-oxidant (anti-oxidants hinder
the body's oxidation process or aging) proving to be excellent for sunburned
or damaged skin. Carotene is also effective in controlling oil glands, promoting
a healthy, clean complexion. It is known to hold in the body's natural moisture
and emollient content. It improves complexion, adds tone and elasticity,
while softening calloused areas of the body.
Ginger (Asarum Canadense), a sweet, spicy root native
to Southeast Asia, stimulates blood circulation, aiding in the recovery
of troubled or ashy looking skin. Also a mild astringent helping to clean,
deep into pores.
Citronella (Cymbopogon Nardus) essential oil has
a slightly sweet, woodsy-flowery, rosy aroma. Citronella is fungicidal,
antibacterial, and generally refreshing. Furthermore, is effective in
healing blemished or troubled skin.
Creator's note: My favorite!!! Perfect in everyway!
The citronella essential oil is pleasantly subdued by the carrot and ginger
combination to make it fresh, clean, revitalizing & earthy.
