Ingredients of Forest Post Jasmine Neroli Exfoliating Beeswax Soap: Coconut oil, Beeswax, Lye, Moong bee powder, Essential oils of jasmine, neroli and grapefruit.

• Coconut oil is a popular ingredient in soap making due to its excellent cleansing and lathering properties. It creates a rich, foamy lather that helps lift dirt and oil from the skin, making it especially effective in soaps. Coconut oil also has natural antibacterial and antifungal properties, adding to the soap’s cleansing power. Despite its strong cleansing ability, when used in the right proportion, it helps keep the skin soft and moisturized, making it ideal for both oily and sensitive skin types.
• Beeswax is a valuable ingredient in soap production for its skin-protective and moisturizing properties. It forms a natural barrier on the skin, helping to lock in moisture without clogging pores. Beeswax also adds hardness to the soap, making it longer-lasting, and gives it a smooth, creamy texture. Rich in vitamin A, it supports skin regeneration and helps soothe dryness and irritation, making beeswax an ideal addition for nourishing, gentle soaps.
• Lye, also known as sodium hydroxide, is a crucial ingredient in traditional soap making. It reacts with oils and fats through a process called saponification, transforming them into soap and glycerin. This reaction is what gives soap its cleansing properties. Although lye itself is caustic, it is completely neutralized during the saponification process, resulting in a safe, skin-friendly product. Without lye, true soap cannot be made, making it an essential component in creating effective, natural soaps.
• Moong bean powder (green gram powder) is a natural exfoliant widely used in soap making for its gentle cleansing and skin-purifying properties. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and enzymes, it helps remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and absorb excess oil—making it especially beneficial for oily and acne-prone skin. Its fine texture provides mild exfoliation without irritating the skin, leaving it smooth, refreshed, and radiant. Moong bean powder also supports an even skin tone and can help reduce blemishes with regular use.
• Jasmine essential oil is a prized ingredient in soap making for its soothing, aromatic, and skin-loving properties. Known for its calming floral scent, it adds a luxurious fragrance to soaps while also promoting relaxation and stress relief. On the skin, jasmine oil offers natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits, helping to cleanse gently and support healthy, balanced skin. It’s especially beneficial for sensitive or oily skin, as it can help reduce redness and control excess oil without drying. Jasmine essential oil enhances both the sensory and therapeutic qualities of handcrafted soaps.
• Neroli essential oil is a valuable addition to soap for its refreshing scent and powerful skin benefits. Extracted from the blossoms of the bitter orange tree, neroli has a sweet, citrusy aroma that promotes relaxation and uplifts the mood. In skincare, it is known for its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and skin-rejuvenating properties. It helps improve skin elasticity, reduce the appearance of scars and blemishes, and balance oil production, making it ideal for both oily and sensitive skin types. Neroli adds both therapeutic value and a luxurious touch to handmade soaps.
• Grapefruit essential oil brings a bright, invigorating twist to soap making with its natural astringent and antibacterial properties. Its fresh, citrusy aroma energizes the senses and helps uplift mood, making each wash feel revitalizing. Grapefruit oil also aids in balancing oily skin by gently regulating sebum production and unclogging pores, while its antioxidant content supports skin renewal and a healthy glow. Adding grapefruit essential oil not only enhances cleansing effectiveness but also imparts a refreshing, spa-like experience to handmade soaps.
