Vincent Van Gogh’s Soap

CALENTULA & SAGE OLIVE OIL SOAP

This time I was inspired by my favorite impressionist artist Vincent Van Gogh.

Van Gogh’s “sunflowers” are not only one of the artist’s favorite subjects (seven canvases of vases with sunflowers, plus three earlier works depicting the sunflowers alone), but they also rank among the most famous paitings ever created. “The sunflower is mine in a way”, said van Gogh to his brother Theo.

This calendula-sage soap bar  is gentle enough to use on almost everyone from babies to grandmothers.  It is considered to be very effective herbal remedies for skin problems by herbalists. Calendula water helps soothe the itching of eczema and reduce skin inflammation.

Sage essential oil is known to promote the regeneration of skin cells, which helps keep the skin looking healthier and more youthful. It assists oily or dry skin by helping to regulate sebum production, which makes it effective in treating conditions such as, seborrhea, dandruff or acne.

The health benefits of lemon oil can be attributed to its stimulating, calming, anti-infection, astringent, detoxifying, antiseptic, disinfectant, sleep inducing, and antifungal properties. The benefits of lemon oil include its ability to treat stress disorders,  infections,  insomnia, skin disorders, hair conditions, and tiredness.
