Ingredients:
Olive Oil - High in Vitamin E and known to be the very best Oil to use in soap for sensitive skins. It is a fantastic skin softener and moisturizer.
Jojoba - Technically not an oil, but a wax, and is pronounced "ho-ho-ba". Jojoba became an important oil in the 70's when whaling was banned as it has almost the same properties as the oil obtained from the sperm whale. It makes a superb skin conditioner.
Hemp Seed Oil - Hemp seed contains essential fatty acids (EFAs), linoleic acid (LA), linolenic acid (LNA) as well as containing gamma linolenic acid (GLA). Hemp seed can be taken internally. Recent research has led to the rediscovery of some of the 25,000 ancient uses of Hemp including paper, clothing, cosmetics and building materials.

Petitgrain Essential Oil - Petitgrain oil is pale yellow or amber in colour and has a pleasant, fresh floral, sweet aroma, reminiscent of orange flowers and slightly woody herbaceous. Good for irritated or spotty skin. Emotionally strengthens, restoring faith and calming the anger of betrayal. Aids insomnia.
The true bitter orange tree is cultivated and the leaves and twigs of the tree are distilled with steam to produce the Petitgrain oil. Petitgrain essential oil was formerly distilled from the unripened (cherry-sized) fruits of the orange tree. This reduced the yield of the mature fruits, so the oil is no longer obtained in this way.
Lime Essential Oil - The oil is expressed from the unripe peel of the fruit. Lime oil is clear with a hint of yellow. It has a fresh, rich, sweet and zesty aroma. May help treat acne, colds, dull skin, flu, and varicose veins.
