Great for all skin types, almond oil is created by the pressing of almond nuts. This oil is used to help relieve dry, itchy skin. Sweet almond oil is obtained from the nut of the tree. The almond tree is cultivated in Southern Europe, the Mediterranean countries and California.. This oil is a favorite carrier oil for essential oil aromatherapy blends, although its often used by itself for moisturizing skin. The oil has no scent and is a great nutrient for softening and conditioning the skin. It's been known to be especially suitable for eczema, itchy, dry and inflamed skin.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soap hazel nuts in a natural soap bar. Cool!, March 25, 2009
By C. J. "just the facts" (Cincinnati, Ohio, USA) -

Very nice! I love genuine handmade soaps, and this is a fantastic one. Very rich and lathers well. Has a great blend of all natural ingredients. No synthetic additives. It has virtually no scent. Sometimes natural soaps go overboard with essential oils. This one is just perfect. You are simply left feeling and smelling very cleansed, and your skin feels nourished - not dried out. Nice! Highly recommended. To the best of my knowledge this is the only natural handcrafted soap bar I have found. Hopefully naturalhandcraftedsoap.com will offer more of them. Their other soap bars that I have tried are all wonderful (when you can get them for they always sell out fast).

Rain Forest Copaiba with Cocoa Butter and Tree Leaves Soap



Copaiba Oil is actually an oleoresin tapped from the Copaiba tree, native to the Amazon Rainforest. This resinous oil is rich in beta-carophylene, which promotes germ-free action and is an excellent anti-acne, skin-clearing agent. The resin is extracted from the trunk of the Copaiba tree through small holes that close naturally with time. To the natives of the Amazon, the Copaiba tree offers numerous natural health benefits that have been utilized for centuries. While soap is essential for cleanliness and good health, it is not always recommended for facial care. Some soaps can dry the sensitive skin and leave behind a film that doesn't look or feel good. Copaiba, on the other hand, is soapless and gentle on dry, oily, and combination skin. It has been used for years by Brazilian women to enhance their exotic, tropical beauty. In recent years, American women are discovering these secrets can help them look young and fresh. It cleans and moisturizes. With the addition of cocoa butter and copaiba tree leaves, it makes this soap becomes extra creamy and a mild exfoliant, and great smelling

Marc Schreuder, director of product formulation, recently traveled to Brazil to learn even more about copaiba essential oil, Young Living’s newest single. I want to share with you some excerpts from one of his e-mails to me while he was in the Amazon rain forest:

“…spent the evening chatting with local copaiba experts, who had very detailed information on copaiba, the harvesting, and the Indians. Luckily, the Indians who used to kill intruders and loggers aren’t any more, and with the proper introduction, should provide a warm welcome…”

“…copaiba trees are concentrated as part of a huge government-granted Indian reservation in the heart of the Amazon. Typically, you have one or two trees per hectare that produce between two to five kilos of oil per tree per year or. If you tap more oil, you get less in the subsequent years. It is a very renewable crop that is unique to the Amazon, but the trees have to be between 30 and 50 years old to produce good oil…”

“…it’s amazing to see that animals love to drink the copaiba, and wild boars have been seen digging their tusks into the trunk to drink out the copal.”

Santa Lucia Murari Borba was a farmer's daughter from Murari's Borba, born in Italy in 1904. She moved to Brazil in 1917 from her home in Tuscany, where she had to learn to make soap from scratch and essential oils from the plants out of necessity.
After years of making soap for her 13 children, her family finally convinced her to open a small soap shop in Sao Paulo Brazil, where she made soaps with her family for 25 years. Those soap recipes found their way to North Carolina last year when I went back to Brazil for Christmas and asked my grandmother for food recipes to bring back to NC. While looking through boxes of recipes we came across all her old soap and essential oil recipes.
