Calendula Soap

Recently, my mom made a new type of soap. It has calendula extract in it!

Calendula, also called the pot marigold, is a pretty yellow flower that has one of the longest histories of healing. It has a very fragrant scent, and is known for its medical assets. Its oil has soothing healing effects on the skin, and is known to help irritated skin, acne issues and more.


Also, not only that, we tried out a new layering technique with purple. It looks like an aurora, sort of, so we dubbed the soap "Purple Aurora". Such a pretty name... :D

And, we stamped it! It now says "Handmade Soap". We got the stamps from Taiwan. My grandma, who is also into soap-making, sent it to us. We got alot of other cute stamps. :)


Ingredients:
3 oz Sweet Almond Oil
3 oz Castor Oil
10 oz Coconut oil
8 oz Olive Oil
8 oz Palm oil
4 oz Safflower oil
2 drops Calendula extract
2 drops Gardenia scent
2 drops Lavender scent
