Patchouli Hand Repair Soap is always one of our most requested soaps, so Patchouli lovers relax, we've got your Patchouli Soap!

For many centuries the strong earthy scent of Patchouli has been used as a perfume, and as aromatherapy for its relaxing and meditative effects, often enjoyed in pungent incense. Patchouli is also reputed to be an aphrodisiac, which is probably why so many people grew to love Patchouli during the Free Love '60s! Patchouli Soap is good for dry, itchy skin, especially in our shea butter soap recipe.

Patchouli Hand Repair Soap is our shea butter and cocoa butter hand soap to moisturize dry hands.

We originally created our Appalachian Crafters' Hand Repair soap for a mountain basketweaver, whose hands were dry, nicked with cuts, and sore at the end of each long day of crafting. No ointments or lotions could be used for protection or healing because her hands had to be perfectly clean to handle crafting materials the next day.

Our Appalachian Crafters' Hand Repair Soaps are made with Shea and Cocoa Butters, Comfrey-infused Olive Oil, and medicinal herbs of Nettles, St. John's Wort, Marshmallow and others traditionally used to promote healing. All Crafters' bars are colored some shade of green by the Comfrey leaves, and flecks of ground herbs can be seen throughout most bars.

Ingredients

Olive, Coconut, Castor and organic, sustainably harvested Palm Oils, Cocoa and Shea Butters, Sodium Hydroxide or Lye, Mountain Spring Water, ground medicinal herbs, fragrances.
