艾草平安皂 Wormwood Blessed Soap

再过一个月就是清明节了！ 到时这批艾草平安皂刚晾好，正好给家人冲凉。

踏青回来用艾草平安皂洗澡，据说可以辟邪呢！ 哈哈 ！ 正确的说法，应该是指可以舒缓皮肤的不适感。

为什么叫做平安皂呢？ 哎！随俗而已，每次说用艾草入皂，大家就自然而然的想到“平安”二字。 不过，除了大家都同样用艾草之外，每个皂人都有自己的配方。

我这次作的艾草平安皂，主要材料是艾草，橄榄油和红棕榈果油。 另外也添加了茶树精油，香茅精油与安息香精油。这些材料混合起来，都是为了能够杀菌消炎止痒，修复皮肤同时滋润皮肤。

希望大家喜欢。 : )

Next month will be the Qingming Festival or Thomb-Sweeping Day in Chinese culture. This is the festival for families to visit ancestral graves. By the time these wormwood blessed soap would be cured hence just in time for bathing.

Why is this soap named “blessed soap” ? Well, this is just the norm – wormwood is always associated with peaceful and bliss in Chinese culture. Every soap maker would have his own wormwood soap recipe.

For this batch wormwood blessed soap, its major ingredients are wormwood, olive oil and red palm fruit oil. Besides, added to it tea tree essential oil, citronella essential oil, and benzene essential oil.
