If you love the understated elegance of Rosemary, you will adore this rare and extraordinary soap ... here is the story of its creation.
I stumbled upon a cache of imported Tuscan Extra Virgin Olive Oil that I had infused with organic fresh Rosemary several summers earlier. At the same time, I also infused 2 large batches of oil with Lavender and 5 of a magical skin care botanical blend I've christened Huile Botanique, french for Botanical Oil. This unique infused oil had been absorbing the skin loving properties of Comfrey, Chamomile and Calendula all grown right here at DayBreak.
When we rediscovered them, it was like finding gold. I was so excited.
How could this have happened? How do you misplace 8 large amphoras of expensive olive oil? Easily!! As DayBreak quickly grew, and we reorganized several times, someone moved all the amphoras of infused oil into a dark corner of the soap studio without telling us. We forgot about them and for more than 18 months -- over 540 days -- those oils had been absorbing the essences with which they have been infused. I can honestly tell you they are the most fabulous oils on the planet. Some were used for soap, some for creams and balms. And some for solid perfumes.
The bars we cut will be a generous 9 ounces, the size of the Herbal Apothecary bars, and each will be hand stamped.
If you would like to reserve one of these extraordinary bars, please order now. These soaps are extremely limited and once this vintage is gone there will be no more.
Listing is for one thick hand cut bar of soap packaged and shrink-wrapped. Due to the nature of our handmade products, variations in size, color, scent, and/or form are expected - each soap is unique.
All DayBreak soaps are handcrafted from scratch in small quantities using traditional cold process methods. Our unique and luxurious formula starts with a large portion of skin-loving olive oil or virgin coconut oil and more -- all chosen for their lathering and cleansing properties. You will see some bars with rice bran oil for silky smooth skin, and lavish amounts of Ghanaian shea, cocoa, mango, and even aloe butters for their skin conditioning and therapeutic qualities. Some bars are formulated with goatsmilk. The result? A lush, creamy lather that gently cleanses and nourishes, leaving skin soft and silky.
