Sweet Harvest Farms Witches Brew Tea Infused Organic Handmade Soap

 The aroma is very mysterious! A spicy blend mellowed with a hint of rose and lavender. A very unique aroma that pulls you in and dances around luring you in for another whiff of its tantalizing scent!

Sweet Harvest Farms Witches Brew original and organic tea infused handmade soap starts with brewing the tea, of course, using distilled water. It is then added to the cold processed soap method that Sweet Harvest Farms has perfected. Using original recipes that are only exclusive to SH Farms, the tea leaves themselves are then added to the soap and later sprinkled on top for a gentle exfoliation.

Sweet Harvest Farms organic handmade tea infused soap is made with Saponified Organic oils of Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, Castor Oil, Palm Oil (sustainable) along with Orris Root, Vitamin E and Rosemary Extract.

In addition: Tea leaves of organic: Mint, Chamomile, Peppermint, Spearmint, Lavender,Lemon Verbena, Cornflowers and Rose Petals

Each large 7 oz. bar will last 8-10 weeks in the shower!

New personal favorite.  It's almost like a layered candle of scents, but in a soap.  You first smell the fruit and then get an after scent of mint.  Extremely refreshing to smell and especially to use!

Contains Sea Salt, Ground Oatmeal and Peppermint Leaves as gentle exfoliants. 

Tea Tree has many benefits such as: Helping with dry & oily skin, eczema, itchy skin, acne, inflammation and so much more! Get rid of those soaps filled with ingredients that are HORRIBLE for your skin and work our natural soap bars into your every day life.

Ingredients

• Olive Oil
• Soybean Oil
• Coconut Oil
• Canola Oil
• Sunflower Oil
• Organic Shea Butter
• Water
• Sodium Hydroxide (Lye)
• Sea Salt
• Ground Oatmeal
• Peppermint Leaves

• Each bar is approx 4.5-4.8oz and measures approx 3 5/8 x 2 1/4 x 1"

• Organic w/ natural fragrance oils or essential oils

• Handcrafted in small batches in the USA and cold pressed - which take 4-6 weeks to cure! Which makes cold pressed soaps the best of the best.

• We've found some customers prefer a high fragrant smell and others prefer a minimal smell with more of a "soap" undertone. Under scent you can always find which soaps have more of a fragrant smell vs soap smell :)
  
  

NOTE: Every soap will differ in style and design as they are each handmade.  Some will have an over abundance of color while others will be minimal.  We do our best to balance out each per order so you don't overwhelming have one style over the other with design :)

Sodium hydroxide?

Sodium hydroxide is a chemical compound that holds or maintains the pH of skincare products, also known as lye. In soap, it’s combined with animal fat or vegetable oil in a process called saponification. Essentially, soap is a mixture of base oils, a diluted lye solution, and herbal additives.

During the soap making process the lye is heavily diluted with water, and added to the oils to create a thick mixture. The mixture is then added to a mold for 24 hours to harden, and set to cure for 4-6 weeks. During the curing process, the soap bars lose water weight, in which the sodium hydroxide is dissolved. Therefore lye is needed for the chemical process that soap goes through, but it's not present in the final product.

Rosemary Mint Organic Handmade Soap

Crushed Flaxseeds within and sprinkled with dried Rosemary on top this soap actually smells like an After Hours Mint, even though there is no chocolate!! This is absolutely delightful to use first thing in the morning! A great way to start the day! Yummy! If you like fresh Mint or Rosemary you will love this one!

NOTE: Even though there is negligible amounts of Rosemary in this soap, it is still suggested that if you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant, you should avoid using any product that contain Rosemary.

Large 7 oz. Bar will last approximately 8-10 weeks in the shower!  Not because of it's size, but because this is a true soap. Our proprietary formula leaves your skin both soft and squeaky clean. If your "soap" leaves a film in your shower it is doing the same to your skin and is most likely made from a base or melt and pour! Yuk!

Raze Acne Blemish Organic Handmade Soap
.....It Works!

Sweet Harvest Farms organic handmade Raze Acne Blemish soap is made with saponified Organic oils of Shea Butter, Coconut oil, Olive Oil, Castor Oil, Palm Oil (sustainable) along with Vitamin E and Rosemary Extract, Willow Bark (Brewed into a tea and added to the soap.

Willow Bark contains natural Salicylic Acid which is excellent for oily skin, blemishes and acne This is a botanical and natural alternative to the synthetic Salicylic acid you find commercially which is made in a lab so it is chemical and preservative laden.

Because our handmade organic soap contains natural salicylic acid our Raze bar is also good to use to help diminish the appearance of Keratosis Pilaris.

Even though this soap  may not contain a large amount of organic and natural salicylic, we still advise not use if allergic to aspirin or other salicylate-containing drugs. Do not administer to children or adolescents with viral infections due to the possibility of Reye's syndrome. 

There is no complete cure for Acne but the Willow Bark in this Raze soap can help. It is best to use a soft bristle face brush when washing your face with this soap. Rinse brush with hot water and allow to air dry after each use. Our customers have reported seeing a huge improvement in their skin and ability to control breakouts after using this miracle bar of soap! View their comments on our TESTIMONIAL page of this website.
