There's no question; Lavender is an amazing herb. It is known to soothe skin, calm frazzled nerves, to aid in sleep, and much more. We just love the smell of lavender. Our soap is made with pure essentail lavender oil from Provence. Please note, the soap is tinted with mica, a natural mineral; however, over time it will turn a lovely shade of green. This is due to a reaction of the essential oil, but it does not affect the quality of the soap.
