Now you can enjoy one of our favourite scents while bathing! The newest addition in our soap world is Film Noir, with scent befitting the boudoir, with it's dark, sensuous whisper of cacao, patchouli and myrrh. Handcrafted in-house from top quality oils and butters, these cold-processed bars have incredible lather and are moisturizing leaving your skin smelling fresh and feeling smooth and nourished.

Our new formulation is palm-free, and is es  pecially formulated to clean and condition hair and scalp. One of our most beloved bathing treats - like a chocolate bar for the tub. 

Ingredients: Saponified vegetable oils (organic virgin coconut oil, organic virgin olive, shea butter, cocoa butter, cold-pressed castor), water, proprietary essential oil blend.

This fantastic soap bar is made from olive-oil and water infusions of lavender from my garden in all of the soap's phases, creating a beautiful bar of soap, with a clean yet rich scent, underlined with an infusion of frankincense resin.  

Like all of our soap, it is superfatted - which means it has wonderful moisturizing qualities due to high content of unsaponified oils within the formula. It is the same rich-lathering formula we've always had for our soaps, now handcrafted in our new studio in Clil by yours truly! 

We're using olive oil that was cold-pressed from olive which were organically grown in a Druze village near Mt. Meron infused with lavender and lavandin leaves and flowers from my garden in Clil, frankincense resin in jojoba oil for superfat and fragrance; Oganic virgin coconut oil (both are food grade quality), palm oil and castor oil for that extra emollient quality. The finely ground and infused frankincense resin provide both healing and nourishment for the skin, as well a bit of "peeling" effect for renewed and rejuvenated skin, further softened by the honey. 

The result is a hard, long-lasting bar with rich lather that is very moisturizing - a real treat for your skin, hair and even for shaving; dyed with natural plants and clays and the occasional golf mica (in the picture we have indigo dyed soap with gold mica lines; but that is not the only colour on hand).

Ingredients: Saponified vegetable oils (coconut, olive, palm, castor), water, frankincense (Boswellia carterii) resin*,  honey, lavender and lavandin essential oilS

Botanical incense pastilles designed for each one of the seven ancient planets. 

This series of these resin-based, monastery-style incense pastilles is the result of close to 20 years of researching the botanical symbolism and alchemical traditions of each planet, and creating the best depiction of these planetary energies.

SATURN NERIKOH 
(Japanese Pastilles - for heating only)
Ironically, the harshness of reality hits when reaching the planet that is furthest away from earth. Saturn is often perceived as our challenges, burdened with rigidity and stiffness. On the other hand, it is through this strict form that our innermost intentions will manifest. 
Saturn's incense is deep with dark myrrh resin, cedar, cypress, patchouli, cassia, vetiver, agarwood and a touch of honey to balance its heaviness. 
Burn on Saturdays, or when you require grounding, material wealth, support as well as discipline to achieve your goals.  
Please note: This is Japanese-style Nerikoh, which are honey-based and are meant for warming on a mica plate, aromatherapy lamp or a designated electric incense heater; they are NOT resin- pastilles for burning on charcoal. 

Bois d'Hiver incense evokes a snow-laden forest of ancient conifer trees. Picture in mind the towering pillars of a forest cathedral, made entirely of giant redcedars, Douglas fir trees and Hemlock Spruce, their evergreen branches laden with impeccably white snow. 

Bois d'Hiver incense was created especially for Yule - the Winter Solstice. To celebrate the spirits of the forest and anticipate the return of the sun with fragrant smoke from resins and foraged botanicals carefully blended and shaped into thin sticks that produce a fine wisp of smoke, redolent of precious resins (frankincense, myrrh, sandarac, and wild harvested piñon resin and spruce pitch by my friends in Canada and the USA), mingled with and forest-foraged needles and saps from spruce, balsam fir, and juniper berries, and many other fragrant spices, and brightened by clary sage from my garden and bright grapefruit blossoms from my orchard. It is anchored in cedarwood, sandalwood, and a pinch of agarwood and snowy Borneol camphor.

Bois d'hived Yule (Winter Solstice) Incense cones come in a box containing paper-wrapped bundle of 18 incense sticks. 

To burn the incense sticks: Place the lit stick (light the tip and then blow out the flame) on a bowl full of ash (preferably rice ash). This will enable the stick to burn without any bits left off. If you have a designated incense dish with a hole you may also use that. It will leave a tiny bit of incense unused though.

Triple Goddess incense cones were handcrafted with reverence to all phases of the moon, and all facets of womanhood - Maiden/Mother/Crone, the birth, pregnancy and softening of the age of wisdom. This incense is created with women's healing in mind, for all stages of life, but especially for times of transition, large and small - be it birth, loss or the monthly bleeding time.

Triple Goddess incense cones were conceived on a a Full Moon Monday and are infused with energy that is meant to aid and assist women and girls during the time of bleeding and any other challenges faced by Womanity.

Incense resins of the three colours representing the Life-Death-Life cycle were chosen lovingly for this blend: Frankincense and White Copal for the Maiden; Dragon's Blood for Motherhood, Bleeding and the "Fertile" years; and Black Copal, Bdellium and Myrrh for the wisdom of the Crone. These were all manually ground with mortar and pestle, and mixed with finely powdered red and white sandalwood for an even burn of mysteriously fragrant smoke. 

* This incense is also available in a loose-incense, resin-based blend, in which all these colours are visible. 

Incense cones, hand-rolled in the traditional Asian style, made from botanicals that were finely ground on location and artfully blended. No saltpetre or charcoal used in these cones. Cones are generally faster burning than a thick joss stick (range of burning time may be from 7-15min, and produce more smoke. They are more convenient to burn while traveling and outdoors, and they stand on their own base, and therefore don't really require special equipment or vessels.  

Burning instruction: Prepare a heat-proof vessel, on a sturdy surface away from flammables and out of reach of children and animals. To prevent scorch marks, it is recommended that you layer some sand, earth or ash on the vessel.  Place the cone and light the tip of it, and allow the flame to extinguish. Because these are handmade cones, each has a different burning times.
