TREAT YOURSELF DAILY
Upgrade your shower routine with this luxurious soap. Daffodil essential oil is one of the most expensive natural materials available to perfumers.
Here is a breakdown of the primary benefits these floral bars can offer your skin:
- Diminishes Hyperpigmentation: Daffodil extract visibly reduces dark spots, age spots, and uneven discolouration, promoting a more even and brighter skin tone.
- Deep Hydration & Elasticity: Because handmade soaps are typically enriched with natural oils like olive oil and shea butter, combining these with daffodil extract locks in moisture, maintains elasticity, and prevents dryness.
- Anti-Aging Antioxidants: Daffodil bulb extracts are rich in natural antioxidants. They help protect the skin from free radicals and improve overall elasticity while helping to soften fine lines.
- Sebum Control: The flower's natural properties can help balance and slow down excess oil (sebum) production, leaving the face and body looking smoother and less shiny.
- Soothing & Anti-Inflammatory: The botanical compounds in daffodil help calm redness and irritation, making it a gentle option for reactive or sensitive skin.
- Aromatherapy: The uplifting aroma reduces stress and promotes a sense of well-being.
EVERY INGREDIENT SERVES A PURPOSE:*
Glendalough spring water (Aqua) infused with Irish Daffodils; Saponified: Organic Virgin Olive Oil (Olea europaea) infused with Irish Daffodils; Organic Raw Virgin Coconut Oil (Cocos nucifera), Organic Castor Oil (Ricinus communis), Organic Sweet Almond Oil (Prunus amygdalus dulcis), Organic Unrefined Shea Butter (Butyrospermum parkii); Citric Acid; Vitamin E; Annatto Powder; Essential Oil: Narcissus Absolute (Narcissus poeticus absolute).
The chemical breakdown of this soap recipe translates directly into these skin-specific benefits:
Deep Moisture & Barrier Repair
- Olive Oil & Sweet Almond Oil: These oils are packed with oleic acid and vitamin E. They act as heavy-duty emollients that seal moisture into the skin, making the bar incredibly gentle and ideal for dry or weathered skin.
- Shea Butter: Because shea butter contains high amounts of "unsaponifiable" compounds (fats that don't turn into soap), a portion of it remains raw in the bar. This leaves a nourishing, protective lipid layer on your skin after rinsing.
Cleansing without Stripping
- Coconut Oil: This ingredient produces large, fluffy bubbles and helps the soap cleanse effectively. By pairing it with a high percentage of moisturising oils (like olive and almond), the recipe prevents the coconut oil from drying out your skin.
- Castor Oil: This oil acts as a natural humectant, drawing moisture from the air onto the skin. In the soap recipe, it specifically boosts and stabilises a thick, ultra-creamy lather.
Targeted Botanical Benefits
- Narcissus Absolute Essential Oil (Daffodil): Beyond its luxurious, grounding floral aroma, narcissus oil acts as a natural astringent. It helps to tighten large pores, balance excess surface oil, and promote minor tissue recovery to fade skin blemishes.
- Annatto Seeds: Used here as a 100% natural, biodegradable colourant to create a beautiful warm yellow hue. Annatto is packed with carotenoids and antioxidants, which help calm skin redness, soothe irritation, and defend cells against environmental stressors.
A SCENT PROFILE:
A complex, deeply intoxicating green-floral aroma that opens with the crisp, sharp freshness of petrichor—the distinct scent of wet spring earth right after a heavy rain. As you lather, it transforms into a rich, hypnotic floral heart defined by a velvety, narcotic sweetness. Finally, the fragrance settles into a heavily grounded, warm finish, enveloping you in a comforting, sun-warmed spring breeze.
