Jewelweed for Poison Ivy Goat Milk Soap

Long celebrated by herbalists for its medicinal sap, Jewelweed is a natural antidote to such skin inflictions as poison ivy, stinging nettle, and mosquito bites. It is also beloved by hummingbirds who flock to feast on its bright orange wildflowers. Our Jewelweed Goat Milk soaps are unscented, though the pure and natural Jewelweed will remind you that the healing properties of this miracle plant are a gift from God. Jewelweed Soap Size This Standard Bagged Jewelweed Soap weighs between 4.0 and 4.8 oz. It measures approximately 3.5" x 1" x 2" and comes packaged in a labeled, draw-string cotton bag. All soaps are weighed and meet the minimum weight six weeks after being made. As they continue to age and cure, they will last even longer although they may lose water weight, causing them to be slightly lighter. Jewelweed Goat Milk Soap is safe to apply all over your body, except for directly in your eyes. An allergic reaction may be possible, so before using it all over, conduct a patch test on a small area of skin first to discover any sensitivities. If you do have an allergic reaction, stop using it immediately. Goat Milk Soap Benefits Goat milk soap provides many skin benefits, and the miracle of goat milk soap lies in the lactic acid, Vitamin A, Selenium, and other compounds it naturally contains. Lactic acid is a natural alpha-hydroxy acid that gently exfoliates the skin, revealing a youthful and radiant complexion. In addition to lactic acid’s anti-aging properties, goat milk also contains antioxidants, reducing the skin’s oxidative stress (did you know oxidative stress leads to premature aging?). All of these natural benefits are still gentle, meaning unscented goat milk soap can still be enjoyed by people with sensitive skin or skin conditions. Skin health is amplified by the naturally occurring minerals of the milk, such as Selenium and Vitamin A, which helps in the repair of sun-damaged skin. Goat milk also contains cream that is incredibly nourishing and moisturizing, which assists in common skin problems like cracking, peeling, and eczema. Unscented goat milk soap thoroughly cleans and moisturizes your skin, while also caring for common skin concerns, all without added harsh chemicals. What does ‘Unscented’ Truly Mean? The unscented soap varieties smell like soap, yet do not have any added scents or fragrances (including essential oils!) to reduce risk of irritation. Unscented soap does still have a smell because the ingredients used in soap production contain natural scents that we do not chemically remove. We do store unscented soaps in separate containers to prevent the product from picking up notes from our fragranced products. However, unscented items that ship in the same package as scented items may pick up trace amounts of scent. This fragrance should disappear when the items are separated. If you do find you’re hyper-sensitive to scents in general, start with a smaller sized bar to make sure the pure soap smell is not irritating. How to Use Jewelweed Goat Milk Soap To use our Jewelweed goat milk soap, get the soap wet and lather directly into your hands, or on a soft washcloth. The rich, creamy lather will leave your skin clean but not stripped, and after use, you may find that you don’t need to use lotion thanks to our deeply nourishing formula. Feel free to use this natural soap anywhere including face, hands, and body, though do avoid getting the soap directly in your eyes. For those starting with incredibly sensitive skin, we suggest trying the travel size bar to make sure the soap does not irritate your skin.
