A perfect essential oil blend of beznoin, cedarwood, orange and howood is going to make your nose very happy! Benzoin has a hint of earthy vanilla and helps to ground or hold lighter citrus scents like the orange essential oil in this bar. Chaga mushroom soap bar is not overwhelming but subtle with the benzoin scent coming through the most. Chaga mushroom has become increasingly popular and is offered as a supplement to be taken internally. When used externally, skin might benefit from the antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and photo-protective properties. Laboratory experiments with human skin cells suggest phenolic acids in chaga mushrooms may improve wrinkles caused by UV damage. Chaga is scentless and will have a mild to medium exfoliation feel on skin. 

We have added some of our favorite butters, kokum and mango for extra moisture and emollient properties. Mango butter is rich in vitamin C and vitamin A, both of which help promote firmness and overall healthy skin. Kokum butter is a hard, white in color butter and has been known to heal ulcers, fissures of the lips, hands and soles of feet. We love this butter and add it to our lotion sticks! We especially love kokum because it does not clog pores and it helps create a hard bar of soap! This bar is perfect for someone looking for a fine exfoliation feel when used directly on skin. Chaga mushroom handmade soap bar will produce a nice lather and leave a layer of oils on skin.
