LETS GET BACK TO NATURAL

 
Many people using our handmade natural soaps realize that “they are different,” but often can’t verbalize exactly how they are actually “different.”  Consider this, look around your bathroom and identify how many items are actually handmade and natural, and are of plant origin? Probably in most bathrooms there are none.

In modern society we are gradually removing ourselves from nature and cocooning ourselves in artificial words. When something like a natural handmade soap enters our world, it is certainly “different.”

But it is not just the physical “different,” a lot of the natural ingredients we use in our soaps have long and colorful histories. Take Clove as an example, it is greatly underappreciated in these modern times for their medicinal uses. Historically, cloves have been used to treat many ailments, and are a great overall healer due to their antiseptic, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-parasitic, and analgesic properties. Cloves can be used topically to treat acne, styes and various sores

Cloves were one of the most precious spices of the 16th and 17th century spice trade, of which Penang Island, our home, was a significant part. The control of cloves spurred many ancient expeditions, and even wars.

So there you are, in your bathroom with a simple handmade natural bar of Clove soap you have something in your hand that is composed of ingredients that have natural healing properties and a long colorful history. These are properties that we simply cannot find with synthetic mass produced products.
