What is the color of nature?
I think most people would first say green.
I say so too.
I grew up in mountains so green is nature, at the same time green is home.
I wanted to make my soaps this homey color, and that is why I made this guy. :)
I colored my soaps with spirulina, “a biomass of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) that can be consumed by humans and animals.”
This is one of the superfoods we have.
Some Japanese articles were even naming it “king of superfoods.” Haha
Seems like some English articles say this too.
It gave my soap bars very beautiful green; not vivid but very soft and natural.
I wanted this visual effect, so I am very satisfied with the outcome. Green makes me feel relieved.
Especially when I am feeling irritated, sad or any negative emotion, this soft green color washes anything ugly inside me away and I get incredibly relieved. This is a gift from nature. It is as if all ingredients, which are from nature, are cuddling me and telling me "everything is alright."
I also scented it with essential oils that remind me of the color, green.
Peppermint, palmarosa, tea tree and eucalyptus. All oils are extracted from their leaves.
It is a very subtle scent, but if you bring the soap close to your face or make bubbles with the soap, you can smell a tinge of them.
This gentle scent is a concept of my soaps - sotto :)
I think really good soaps are determined by oils.
Oils are what decide the characteristics of soaps.
This one has lots of olive oil, which makes soap very gentle on the skin.
Other oils are to stabilize the soap as olive oil is not the best at hardening soaps or making lots of bubbles.
I’ve been writing about those oils every time I post so I hope that is a short enough explanation!. Haha
I like these three oils the best as they are the most familiar to our normal life and great for skin.
I have soaps made from other types of oil so for these, my entry would get longer. hehe
You can enjoy a beauty of natural creation in your shower with this as all ingredients are from nature. :)
Enjoy with your eyes, nose and skin!
P.S.
It doesn’t have any preservatives so the color of the soap might fade away relatively quickly.
Please keep it where sunlight doesn’t directly touch.
