Gathered Natural Wellness's soap stands out because of its thoughtful recipe and high-quality ingredients. Karen Onove developed this formula with a focus on skin nourishment and healing, especially after the stress of winter and holiday routines.

• Organic Elderberries: These berries are rich in antioxidants and vitamins that help protect the skin from environmental damage and support its natural repair processes. Infusing elderberries into the oils ensures that these benefits are deeply embedded in the soap.

• Lemon Balm Tea: Instead of using plain water, this soap uses lemon balm tea, known for its calming and antibacterial properties. Lemon balm soap gently soothes the skin while cleansing.

• Shea Butter and Cacao Butter: These natural butters provide deep moisturization, leaving the skin silky and soft. They also contribute to the soap’s creamy lather and hardness, making it last longer.

• Stinging Nettle and Chamomile: Both herbs are included for their anti-inflammatory and anti-histamine effects, which help calm inflamed or irritated skin. This makes the soap ideal for sensitive skin types or those recovering from winter dryness.

  
  

This combination creates a hard soap that lathers well and feels luxurious, yet remains gentle enough for daily use.

How Stinging Nettle and Chamomile Support Skin Health

The inclusion of stinging nettle and chamomile in this soap recipe is a key factor in its effectiveness for January skin care.

• Stinging Nettle Benefits: This herb contains anti-inflammatory compounds that can reduce skin swelling and redness. It also has antioxidants that protect against free radicals, which are more active during winter due to indoor heating and dry air.

• Chamomile Soap Effects: Chamomile is well-known for its calming properties. It helps soothe irritated skin, reduces itching, and acts as a natural anti-histamine. This makes it excellent for people with sensitive or allergy-prone skin.

  
  

Together, these herbs help restore balance to skin that may have become inflamed or dry after the holiday season, making the soap a perfect choice for January.
