Golden Calendula
Calendula infused oil, calendula petals and a turmeric gold.
Built on a calendula oleate - petals infused into oil - with more ground calendula carried through the bar. A touch of turmeric warms the colour naturally instead of a synthetic dye, and honey goes in as well. Olive oil and shea butter make the base.
5 bars left
Every bar cures for four weeks, so batches are small and counted.

Notes on the bar
Keep it on a draining dish. A cold-process bar left sitting in water softens and will not last the way it should.
- Scent
-
Oatmeal, milk & honey
The same warm, quiet scent as Golden Oat, over a more herbal base from the calendula.
- Texture
-
Petals you can see
Ground calendula petals are visible through the bar. Olive oil and shea butter make the lather dense and creamy rather than bubbly.

-
