Natural, Handcrafted Soap for sale
Hi! My name is Laura:-)
I homeschool along with my four siblings, and have been making soap for a few years now.
At the moment, I am selling Charcoal + Lavender soap, and Lavender soap. As the document says, the blocks are $4 each, unless they are in a hand-written gift bag, which is $6.
Sometime soon, I will probably make a batch of Lemongrass soap, which would be sold for the same prices.
Here is a little blurb about the benefits of lavender and charcoal:
LAVENDER
Gently cleanses the skin without stripping it of moisture, allowing its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties to combat pimples and skin irritation. These properties also make lavender soap useful in treating skin infections, scabies, and eczema.
CHARCOAL
Helps absorb excess oil.
Helps prevent breakouts.
Tightens pores.
Makes skin firmer.
Exfoliates skin.
Brightens complexion.
Exfoliates dry, dead skin that can lead to flakes and dandruff.
Deeply cleans.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
