Moringa Soap

Moringa powder is the star here — a leaf with a long history in West African traditions — and it gives this bar its earthy green color. I blend it with shea butter and a warm trio of ginger, lemongrass, and peppermint essential oils.

Scent: Warm ginger, bright lemongrass, and a touch of peppermint.

Size: 4.5 oz · lather with water and rinse.

What these ingredients are known for in skin care:

• Moringa powder is made from the dried leaves of the moringa tree, used for generations across West Africa and South Asia and valued in skin care for its rich mix of vitamins and plant nutrients.
• Ginger and lemongrass essential oils are known in body care for their warm, spicy and bright, citrusy scents that make a shower feel energizing.
• Shea butter is pressed from the nuts of the West African shea tree and one of the best-known moisturizers in skin care, used for generations to help skin feel soft and smooth.
• Castor oil is a thick oil long used in skin care for its moisturizing, conditioning feel, and in soap it helps create a creamy, lasting lather.
• Coconut oil is known for a rich, cleansing lather that leaves skin feeling fresh and clean.
