Olive Oil - We use one of the best South African cold pressed extra virgin Olive Oils available on the market. It is by a large margin our most important vegetable oil used in our soap making processes and is usually the first oil on the recipe.

It has been the favourite of soap maker since ancient times. It penetrates the skin better than any other oil. The resulting soaps are moisturizing as well as mild. It is packed with vitamins, minerals and proteins and produces mild, creamy soaps with great emollient properties. Olive oil based soaps are perfect for people with a dry or sensitive skin including eczema and psoriasis.

Olive oil is rich in antioxidants, which help to protect the skin against free radicals which promote aging. Its oleic acids and polyphenols  help prevent wrinkles and sagging of skin.

Sunflower Oil – moisturizing, producing creamy lather, full of Vitamins and minerals, rich in essential fatty acids

Sweet Almond Oil is rich in Vitamin E, monounsaturated fatty acids, proteins, potassium and zinc, besides a number of other minerals and vitamins. Not only the scalp, but the hair shaft also can benefit from almond oil. The glands in the scalp produce an oily substance that forms a natural protective coating on each strand of hair. But hair can become too dry and brittle from frequent use of shampoos that strip the hair of these natural oils. This results in breakages and split ends that reduce the length of the hair. Sweet Almond Oil helps to restore the protective oil layer of the hair and adds an intense luster to your hair and makes it healthy.

Burdock, Arctium lappa, rich in fatty acids that stimulate blood flow to the scalp, nourishes and strengthens hair follicles, to promote healthy hair growth and improve the overall condition of hair. The silica and phytosterols in burdock help soothe irritated scalp conditions and repair hair while adding sheen, hydration & lustre.  It increases shine and gives body to limp hair. The mucilage in Burdock Root also helps add “slip” to your hair to make detangling easier.

Marsh Mallow, Althaea officinalis, soothes the scalp providing relief from scalp irritation. It is a great alternative to store bought conditioners because it contains mucilage, which provides "slip" to help detangle, condition and moisturize hair. High in plant proteins, marsh mallow nourishes the scalp promoting healthy hair growth and lustre. Works great to nourish and detangle thick hair.

Rosemary, Rosemarinus officinalis,  encourages hair growth by improving blood flow to the scalp, encourages strong, healthy hair, stimulates growth, increases manageability and adds shine. The stimulating and revitalizing properties of rosemary help condition both hair and scalp

Sage, Salvia officinalis, rich in antioxidant, astringent, and antibacterial qualities, is a soothing hair tonic and a natural treatment for scalp dryness. Sage tea adds shine and depth to dark hair and helps darken greying hair. Sage will remove residual shampoo and conditioner that has built up on your hair to leave it shiny and soft.

Thyme can be very handy when used in hair rinses and tonics due to its ability to help relieve oily scalp

White Willow Bark is an highly effective anti-inflammatory for oily, combination, acne or blemished skin.
It's also great relief for rosacea, psoriasis, eczema, dandruff and any skin or scalp condition that produces redness and/or inflammation. White Willow bark enhances skin/scalp cell turnover & has a very mild keratolytic effect that smoothens out rough, tired skin and dry scalp. Willow Bark, also, naturally exfoliates - helping to unclog pores and hair follicles.

Witchhazel has been shown to increase the blood flow carrying nutrients to the hair. Stimulation of blood circulation in your scalp helps to further enhance the environment for natural hair growth. It deep cleans your hair and scalp of dirt and oils.

Yarrow, Achillea millefolium, is effective for treating dandruff, itchiness, scalp irritation and oily scalp. It has also been shown to help counteract hair loss. Regular use of a strong yarrow tea will lighten hair.
