eucalyptus & cajeput tea tree soap
Eucalyptus-fresh, herbal & stimulating.
Eucalyptus is wonderfully versatile in that it can cool in the summer & warm in the winter. It is said to be anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antibiotic, diuretic, analgesic & deodorizing. The Eucalyptus we use for this soap is the Blue Gum variety. It is the most well known of the eucalyptus varieties and has the typical fresh, clear, pungent, camphoraceous aroma that we expect eucalyptus to have.
We then add Cajeput essential oil, like that of Eucalyptus, Cajeput has stimulant & relaxant properties and is used both internally and externally. The Indonesian Cajeput tree is a close relative of Tea Tree and is sometimes referred to as white tea tree due to its striking white bark. Cajeput is decongestant and expectorant, making it a good antiseptic for respiratory ailments. It has a soothing, calming effect on the whole body & helps strengthen the immune system.
In conjunction with green clay and chlorophyll this soap is an excellent choice for slightly out of balance skin types. I like it best after a long surf. It feels great on sunburn. This combination used daily will help bring your skins sebaceous glands back to normal oil producing levels. Perfectly camphoraceous, woody-sweet.
