Bergamot & Sandalwood liquid soap/Body Wash

Using a handmade body wash and liquid soap made with the ingredients you've listed offers several benefits:

1. Moisturizing Properties:

• Olive Oil (44%): Rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids, olive oil deeply hydrates the skin, helps to restore its natural moisture barrier, and is particularly beneficial for dry and sensitive skin.
• Coconut Oil (10%): Provides additional hydration and creates a gentle lather. It also has antimicrobial properties that help keep the skin clean and healthy.
• Castor Oil (9%): Known for its humectant properties, castor oil helps retain moisture in the skin, ensuring it remains soft and supple.

2. Cleansing and Lathering:

• Lye (0.12%): This is necessary for the saponification process, where oils are transformed into soap. In the final product, there is no lye left; instead, you have a gentle soap with a balanced pH, suitable for cleansing without stripping the skin of its natural oils.

3. Aromatic and Therapeutic Benefits:

• Bergamot Essential Oil (0.01%): Known for its uplifting and calming properties, bergamot essential oil adds a fresh, citrusy scent to the body wash. It also has antiseptic properties, which can help in maintaining clear and healthy skin.
• Sandalwood Essential Oil (0.01%): Adds a warm, woody fragrance that is calming and grounding. Sandalwood also has anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties, which can help soothe irritated or dry skin.

4. Skin Benefits:

• Hydration and Softening: The combination of olive, coconut, and castor oils ensures your skin is well-moisturized and soft after each use.
• Antimicrobial Effects: The inclusion of bergamot essential oil helps protect the skin from bacteria and may aid in reducing the appearance of blemishes.
• Calming and Soothing: Sandalwood essential oil helps calm the skin, making this body wash ideal for sensitive or inflamed skin types.

5. Overall Experience:

• Gentle and Nourishing: This body wash will provide a gentle cleansing experience while nourishing your skin with natural oils and beneficial essential oils.
• Aromatherapy: The combination of bergamot and sandalwood offers a relaxing and uplifting aromatherapy experience during your shower.

This handmade body wash is particularly suitable for people with dry, sensitive, or combination skin who seek a moisturizing, gentle cleanse with the added benefits of essential oils.

As a side note this liquid soap is also safe for dog shampoo.
