I have just started using your moisturiser and am cleansing with your facial soap and rinsing with the vinegar tonic. Have noticed some improvement already, so thanks for making a product that actually works.

By the way I am also using your marigold body cream, and I love it. It is THE BEST body moisturiser I have ever used.

Simple Pleasures hand made Tasmanian herb and honey soaps

125g approx. hand cut bar

Who for? Anyone with sensitive skin and babies. Turn your everyday bath/ shower into a delightful experience.

What is it? Our handmade vegetable soaps are absolutely unique. Many clients have described them as simply the 'best in the world-the finest quality they have ever used'.

This is because we use a low heat (cold pour process) with mountain spring water that retains a large percentage of precious (expensive!) vitamin rich nut and plant oils included just before the batch is poured. These are not consumed in the saponification process leaving them in the soap to superfat them - moisturise and condition the skin beautifully. Our luxurious long-lasting gentle moisturising soap with only pure natural plant (coconut, olive) and essential oils, flowers, herbs, Tasmanian milk and bio-dynamic cream, plant oils, fruit, clays, seaweeds, green tea, nutmeal, herbs and fruit peels (from the maker's garden)! these botanicals create the delicious smells, textures and colours.

Rediscover the pleasure of silky, creamy moisturising delicately scented lather. These gourmet soaps can only be produced in small batches and are made in limited quantity.

We use no artificial colours. Our soap colours are created by the herbs, essential oils/spices (cocoa, paprika, saffron, etc.), fruit and fruit peel (from the maker's garden), natural mineral oxides used in each different variety. We do not use synthetic colouring agents. We use no synthetic antioxidants, optical brighteners, maturing stabilisers, lathering agents or animal products. Our soapes are totally bio-degradable and eco-friendly.

Directions for use: Most people suffer dry skin as a result of not rinsing the face properly in clear water after washing to remove soap residues which can be drying. When not assaulted with chemicals the skin is a self maintaining, naturally acidic, self lubricating organ - however thorough cleansing is absolutely necessary for skin health. All soap, no matter how well made, is alkaline in nature, so will, when used, temporarily remove that protective acid mantle which needs to be restored after washing. Tasmanian apple cider and herb conditioning rinse is almost miraculous in the relief it offers to dry itchy skin, eczema and dermatitis. It stimulates skin function, refreshes, invigorates and smoothes...and tightens and increases circulation to the skin leaving it moist and glowing.

Face

Wet the face with warm water (not hot water which can cause surface capillary breakage. Rub the bar between hands to lather. Apply lather to face, evenly working well into skin Use a Riffi Facial Mitt if make-up is worn. Rinse.

Fill sink/basin with slightly cooler clear water add a couple of teaspoons of Tasmanian Applecider and herb Conditioning Rinse to the water. Splash face at least six times, gently pat almost dry. Use Beauty and Bees moisture cream immediately to lock in moisture.

Body

In shower or bath as above but add a tablespoon of vinegar to a litre jug of warm water and pour over body. Use body cream/balm immediately to lock in moisture.

Please note:

The gentle facial soaps are especially suited to facial skin. People with allergies or extreme sensitivities should use these soaps on their body as well. Best-for-face soaps are superfatted with extra vitamin-rich plant oils before pouring.

The face/body soaps contain a higher percentage of intense aromatic oils. They are suitable for most people to use on the face as well as the body. But people with sensitive skin should only use these soaps on the body and choose gentle facial soaps for the face.

Body scrub soaps are only suitable for the body as they are designed to assist body exfoliation and are too rough for the face.

Recommended with this product: Tasmanian apple cider and herb conditioning rinse, all moisture and body creams, body balms, Silken dusting powder
