This soap smells like heaven and I can't get enough of it (it's my personal favourite)!  Geranium essential oil (pelargonium graveolens) is a delicate sweet scent and yet somehow there's a "greenness" to it that makes you think you're lying in a woodland with the fairy folk!  I colour the soap using madder root, which makes the lovely pink colour (madder is a wild plant which has a natural dyeing effect).

 

Geranium has many benefits including as an anti-inflammatory, as an antioxidant, it's both anti-fungal and anti-bacterial and of course it's beautifully soothing so it's great for stress.

 

The basic ingredients include: sodium olivate (saponified olive oil); sodium cocoate (saponified coconut oil; sodium shea butterate (saponified shea butter); water; glycerine (a by-product of making the soap); sodium castorate (saponified castor oil).  There's also citronelol, geraniol, limonene, citral, and linalool - but they're already a constituent part of the essential oils and not additives.  These can, however, be allergens so if irritation occurs, discontinue use.

 

Because the soaps are natural soaps, coloured only with botanicals and scented only with essential oils, they're best used within about six months from the date of purchase.  Having said that, I've used some that are older than this and they've been perfectly fine but citrus oils tend not to last as long as some other essential oils, so do bear that in mind.  Most importantly, all Speedwell's soaps are handmade in small batches, vegan, palm oil and preservative free and of course cruelty free.

 

For external use only.  

As these are handmade products, weights may vary but all the soaps are between 68g - 110g depending on the mould used.  The standard mould is the tree of life mould which is 110g.
