Black Pepper & Vanilla with Ground Black Pepper and Rhassoul Clay

Black Pepper and Vanilla with a whole heap of beautiful skin nourishing Rhassoul Clay. For those people needing a really good scrub!
 
Rhassoul clay is the stuff that you have a facemask of. It's jam-packed with goodness for your skin. Rhassoul clay comes from the Atlas Mountains of Morocco and is known for its mineral-rich profile. It helps draw out impurities while delivering a silky, conditioning feel to the skin. In body soaps like this, it offers a luxurious feel and subtle earth-toned colour.
 
The black pepper and vanilla essential oils are blended to make this scent and the ground black pepper adds to that, as well as acting as a gentle exfoliant for your skin.
 
I love the dark colour and the recipe is one of the absolute best you'll ever find for a cold process soap.
 
Other ingredients used in this soap and the benefits of using them are detailed below:
 
Rose Water hydrates and soothes irritation while balancing pH and controlling oil. It provides antioxidant protection for the skin.
 
Shea Butter offers deep moisture with anti-inflammatory properties. It contains vitamins A and E for skin repair and improves elasticity.
 
Sweet Almond Oil is a lightweight moisturiser rich in vitamin E, which provides UV protection. It helps reduce the appearance of scars and dark circles.
 
Castor Oil is antimicrobial and deeply moisturising, particularly for very dry skin. It may help reduce acne-causing bacteria.
 
Responsibly Sourced Palm Oil is rich in antioxidants and provides moisturising and anti-ageing benefits.
 
Olive Oil is high in vitamins and antioxidants that nourish dry skin, though it can clog pores for some skin types.
 
Coconut Oil has antibacterial properties and is intensely moisturising, but may cause breakouts in acne-prone skin.
