Wood Grain

Trees are strong & patient. They show their age and hardship through the beauty of their grain and I admire that. Swirling lines circling around knots and burls that show their story, their history.  The dark and the light. The good times and the bad. Silent sentinels stand in quiet contemplation save for the rustle of their leaves in the summer breeze.

This year I learned a new skill and put it to use for this soap.  Not only does it contain the creamy goodness of raw goat milk, but it also contains pure birch water from a tree that I tapped this spring in the forest surrounding our home.
Birch water? Why birch water?
It is packed full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants and it is incredibly hydrating for your skin. Plus how freaking cool is it to use a soap with birch water tapped straight from the tree. 

Scented with a woodland blend of earthy, spiced, and woodsy essential oils and an infusion of balsam poplar buds harvested from the forest around me.
Coloured with natural colours from cocoa, charcoal, turmeric, and annatto.
