Honoring Our Vessels

Our bodies, the vessels of our journey, are adorned with the imprints of our story — revealing beauty and resilience.

Our Body

Skin, the body's largest organ, is a beautiful testament to our uniqueness. It's incredible how this protective layer varies in structure and behavior depending on where it graces our bodies. Just like each of us, our skin deserves attention and care.

Our bodies are miraculous in their ability to care for us, and this includes the way our skin renews itself over time. Consider, for instance, the skin on our hands and faces. These areas keep us in connection to the world and are constantly exposed to our environment.

 

While the skin on our hands, face, and body both undergo a cell turnover process, they do so at different rates. Our facial skin has a faster cell turnover rate than our body skin, which means that it renews itself more frequently. In fact, the skin cell turnover rate of facial skin is typically around 28-30 days, while the skin cell turnover rate of body skin is typically around 30-45 days. This difference in renewal rate reflects the loving and intentional approach our bodies have towards maintaining our health and wellbeing. The unique qualities of our skin also play a role in the cell turnover process, ensuring that our skin stays healthy, vibrant, and beautiful.

Body Skin Cell Turnover Highlights

 

  • The basal cell turnover rate of body skin is typically slower than that of facial skin, at around 30-45 days compared to 28-30 days for facial skin.

  • The spinous cell turnover rate is also slower in body skin than in facial skin, at around 30-45 days compared to 14-21 days.

  • The granular cell turnover rate is similar between body and facial skin, at around 7-14 days.

  • The cornified cell turnover rate is also similar between body and facial skin, at around 14-28 days.

 

Our body skin is constantly renewing itself through the cell turnover process, so it's important to treat it with love and care. Natural ingredients are gentle and nourishing for our skin, helping to enhance and support its renewal. They provide essential nutrients and antioxidants that protect against environmental stressors, like pollution and UV rays. By using natural products specifically formulated for each area of our skin, we can show our bodies the love and intention they deserve.

Our Offerings

Handcrafted, Whole-Plant Infused Body Bars

We hand-craft our artisan body bars in small batches, with carefully selected whole-plant ingredients that have been infused into nourishing oils. The soap making process is an ancient one and involves combining the infused oils with lye and water to create a chemical reaction that results in a gentle and cleansing bar. The natural oils and botanicals in our body bars provides a range of benefits for the skin and a relaxing, sensory experience.

 

Each of our bars contains its own blend of organic and wild harvested ingredients that will have you feeling like you're living your best life. So if you're looking to add a something wonderful to your daily self-care routine, look no further. Our body bars are filled with high vibrations and plant-based goodness.

 

They are fire.

Using our Offerings

 

We encourage you to be gentle and mindful. We recommend a patch test. Apply a small amount to your inner wrist or elbow and wait 24 hours. Discontinue if irritation occurs. Avoid eye contact; rinse thoroughly with water if contact does occur.
