In addition to natural aromatic oils and botanical ingredients, each Butter Vine bar contains only plant oils such as palm, coconut, sunflower, rice bran, olive, castor, apricot and shea butter as well as plant extracts such as cucumber, oatmeal, corn flower and aloe vera juice to ensure the moisturizing quality of the bar. Plants oils also function as our soaps’ gentle but effective disinfectants, cleaning your skin with natural substances that refresh your senses, moisturize your skin and safely return to the earth’s environment.
Check the description of each bar in our Soap Selection to find out which moisturizers and exfoliants are present in each soap.
Pure Essential Oils
Our essential oils are distilled from plants without the addition of scent enhancing synthetic chemicals. We seek oils from meticulously conscientious distillers to ensure long lasting, refreshing aroma in every bar derived only from plants, trees and flowers.
In addition to their aromatheraputic benefits, the distillation process impacts the healing, disinfecting and antimicrobial properties of essential oils. If you don’t want to miss out on the important role natural scents can play in your health and happiness, include our soaps in your personal care for the best organic skin care!
Botanical Exfoliants
Although the stems, leaves, seeds and flowers in our soaps add to their aesthetic beauty, we also use them for a little extra scrub traction. Many botanicals we use add color or contribute to the aromatherapeutic quality of the bar. Chamomile buds and rose petals are two favorites, as well as henna, lavender buds, cedar wood and calendula petals.
No Artificial Colorants Or Dyes
All the colors you see in Butter Vine soaps are derived from the essential oils used to scent the soap, the moisturizing oils, natural herb and spices, or the botanicals added to the soap for exfoliation.
Natural Preservatives and Fragrance
Rosemary oil extract is a natural preservative derived from the rosemary bush that keeps the oils in our soaps fresh, and also helps to keep natural and artificial light from fading the color of the bar. We also use Vitamin E Perservative Oil, which has all the benefits of Vitamin E, and none of the dangerous effects of synthetic perservatives. The color may yet fade if your soap is kept in direct sunlight.
The botanicals in your Butter Vine bars are protected from the air and by Rosemary Preservative Oil or Vitamin E Preservative Oil, but like all plants they wilt and discolor when soaking in water, so don’t abandon your Butter Vine soap to soak under a lilly pad! After you’ve basked, bubbled and recalibrated your senses, do drain the water from the soap dish to make your soap last!
