The base of our Purifying bar contains Cambrian Blue Clay, one of the rarest clays on earth and is predominantly imported from salt lakes in the Altai Range in Siberia. The color derives from iron, zinc and algae and is considered to be the most valuable and beneficial clay for your skin, even the most delicate and sensitive. The clay helps draw out impurities and with regular use will soften and improve the texture of your skin. It may also be helpful in reducing the symptoms of eczema and psoriasis and blemished skin in general. It's gentle detox action in drawing out excess oils can also be beneficial to acne prone skin and oily skin in general. Dry and normal skin will also benefit from regular use of this soap. It is an ideal choice for both a facial and body soap with the clay providing a very fine exfoliating effect. With a high saline content like other dead sea clays, this soap has excellent anti-wrinkle benefits and nourishes the skin with vitamins and minerals. It has 5 times higher mineral content than the Dead Sea Mud, and is dermatologists approved. A moisturizing soothing base of coconut oil, olive oil, organic palm oil, organic shea butter, and castor oil is combined with lavender and lemongrass essential oils which have anti-inflammatory, antifungal, anti-viral, antibacterial and detoxifying benefits to help skin conditions - thus giving you a highly effective cleansing bar. This manly-sized handmade bar measures approximately 3½” x 2½” x 1” and weighs approximately 5 ounces. This soap is hand-poured and rough-cut. This process naturally produces irregularities in shape and surface texture (characteristics of truly handmade soap) but does not diminish the efficacy of the soap. $7.95
