The creation of this soap honors my long, deep relationship with this beautiful tree. One of the most important Indigenous American ceremonial plants, it is associated with prayer, healing, dreams and protection; a symbol of generosity and providence.

Cedarwood essential oil is steam distilled from the wood of the cedar tree, of which there are several species. For our soap, we are using Juniperus virginiana commonly known as Virginia Cedarwood.

Used in skincare, cedarwood essential oil can help soothe irritation, inflammation, redness and itchiness as well as dryness that leads to cracking and peeling. It is an astringent, regulates sebum production and can help eliminate acne causing bacteria and help prevent future breakouts. It is also used for conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. It’s antiseptic and antibacterial properties help eliminate odors and it’s firming qualities (astringent) help reduce the appearance of aging, including loose skin and wrinkles.

Virginia Cedarwood has a sweet, woody scent reminiscent of Sandalwood and has been used for easing stress and anxiety.

Ingredients: organic, saponified oils and butters of olive, coconut, and sunflower; fresh goat milk, rose clay, sea clay and virginia cedarwood.
