Greek Yogurt and Mastica Soap Bar (For the Gods)






This soap is truly good enough for the Greek Gods. It's loaded with organic greek yogurt, organic heavy cream, organic goat's milk and the rare resin mastica from the Greek Island of Chios. The Greeks and Egptians bathed with milk for its skin whitening, anti-aging and natural exfoliating properties. My heritage is Greek and my mother and grandmother used mastica often in their homemade beauty treatments. These Greek secrets are centuries old. I know you will enjoy this rich, creamy bar of soap.

Each loaf contains 1/2 pound of Organic Greek Yogurt. It is super fatted with organic whole milk greek yogurt, organic heavy cream and organic goats milk.

Mastica comes from the Mastic Gum Tree (Pistacia lentiscus); Mastica resin comes from the island of Chios in the Greek Aegean sea. It is only grown on this Island and no where else in the world. It is organic and picked by hand only 2 months out of the year. It is truly a wild harvested product. Mastica is known for its antifungal and antibacterial properties. It was used by the Ancient Greeks for its healing properties, natural skin whitening and for its anti-aging properties.

Mastica has many medicinal values and is a sought after rare resin. Mastica is more expensive than gold at $2000 dollars a pound. It is the original "liquid gold". Recently the ancient Greek beauty secrets are now being rediscovered and researched.

Chocolate Chip Minty Cream Soap Bar

Yummy!!!!!

A lot of times I get inspired by food, and that really comes across when I make soap.  I love chocolate chip mint ice cream, so why not make it into a soap.  I have to tell you it so yummy and really good for your skin.  You have the invigorating essential oils of spearmint and peppermint, moisturizing fats from olive oil and heavy cream.  I didn't forget to put real chocolate in this bar.  I use organic cocoa powder for the chocolate chips and chocolate chunks in the soap. YUMMY!! 

It also has the visual appeal going for it as well.  You just can't help yourself.  I am really in love with this bar of soap.  I hope you all like it as well!  There is also a lot of skin and mental benefits in this soap bar.  You have the aromatherapy from the essential oils, the moisturizing from the superfatting of the oils, dairy fats and the cocoa for skin nourishing antioxidents and revitalization of the skin.

Here is my description on my Etsy Store.  I think this says it all.......

Wow!! This bar looks and smells like the real ice cream you get from a gourmet ice cream parlor. It has organic heavy cream and goats milk, spearmint  and peppermint essential oils and a chocolate fragrance to die for. This bar is creamy and moisturizing from the superfatting of the heavy cream. You will not be disappointed with this bar. It is a amazing! Do control yourself from wanting to take a bite. It is that good!!!!!!!!!!!!
