This bright beauty is a skincare star! She features soothing aloe vera, brightening turmeric, gentle chamomile, and our favorite botanical skincare ally, sunny calendula!
The simplistic beauty of this bar belies her bounty of skincare bennies! There are layers of botanical goodness hidden within her bright and sunny appearance. We started with a chamomile, calendula and turmeric infused coconut milk for a luxurious creamy lather. Locally grown turmeric from Granite Springs Farm infused in rice bran oil doubles up on the skin brightening bennies, while a calendula infused sunflower seed oil brings a double dose of calendula's skin repairing skilz. A carrot puree, from fresh carrots from In Good Heart Farm adds an extra boost of carotenoids. A dose of locally sourced raw honey boosts the bubbles!
Gentle and wonderfully soothing. A simple eo blend of sweet orange, ylang ylang and chamomile accents her minimalist beauty.
Check out that 2nd picture! This is how vibrant it looks freshly poured! First pic is how it looks after saponification. What a difference! Third pic is previous batch (sans turmeric).
MAKERS NOTE: We can't promise, nor do we make any claims that our botanical bars will provide you with any of these skin benefits. The science is still undecided on whether any botanical benefits survive the saponification process. We just hope that you enjoy the love, care and #plantmagic that we pour into our soap!

Helios Artisan Botanical Bar
Handmade soaps need to breathe! We recommend storing your soap on a slatted or free draining soap dish so that it can air dry in between uses.
- Remove botanical toppings prior to use.
- Don't allow your soap to sit in a puddle of water.
- Use a wash cloth, loofah or soap saver bag to extend the life of your soap bar.
- Use your soap bar within one year of purchase. I know they're pretty to look at, but they're intended to be used so enjoy them! :)
- Store unused soap out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperature fluctuations and high humidity conditions.
- You may experience colored lather with dark or brightly colored bars; however, no permanent staining should occur.
- Discontinue use if irritation occurs
- Soaps are for external use only & are not edible
