This limited edition soap bar is made with tomatoes and nigella (black seed) oil.
The result beautiful bar of soap, superfatted - which means it has wonderful moisturizing qualities due to high content of unsaponified oils within the formula.
We're using olive oil that was cold-pressed from olive which were organically grown in Clil; Oganic virgin coconut oil (both are food grade), cold-pressed palm oil, nigella and poppyseed oils for soap that is both very cleansing, yet nourishing for the skin and can be used on the face.
Activated charcoal and Moroccan red clay not only give it a striking contrast of colours, but also make this soap real treat for oily and acne-prine skin, as it is unscented, mildly and thoroughly cleansing to the skin without drying it. Dragon's blood resin infused in jojoba oil add to its antiseptic qualities.
Ingredients: Saponified vegetable oils (coconut, olive, palm, castor), cacao butter, water, pureed Italiam tomatoes, nigella (black seed) oil, poppyseeds oil, activated charcoal, Moroccan red clay, Dragon's Blood resin infused in Jojojoba oil.

Tree of Life incense is inspired by my beloved, one-legged teacher: an ancient Eastern Plane Tree that grows in Kziv Creek. The tree is rooted in the pure running water, and has a unique quality of roots and branches joining or merging together, creating imaginative shapes and cavities in the tree formation.
Incense cones, hand-rolled in the traditional technique, made from finely ground botanicals, including local aromatics that were ethically foraged: fallen leaves and outer bark that I found in the creek. The aroma is unique, reminiscent of the sweet smell of Kziv Creek, and also burning leaves. It was created in two different formats: Incense cones (bound with natural gums or wood bark. No saltpetre or charcoal used in these cones); and a Kyphi-style loose incense blend, bound with local organic honey, wine and raisins.
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.
Kyphi-style should be burned on a charcoal in a designated vessel, or in a bowl filled with sand.
Tree of Life Incense cones come in a box containing a dozen cones.
Tree of Life kyphi comes in a glass jar and can be either burnt on hot charcoals, or placed on an incense heater for a gentler and smoke-free aroma.

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.

Burning instruction: Prepare a heat-proof vessel, on a sturdy surface away from flammables and out of reach of children and animals. If you don't have a designated incense vessel, you may use any heat-proof ceramic or glass bowl with some sand, earth or ash. Light a piece of coal, and allow it to catch the heat completely, until the stage when it is fully covered with grey/whitish ash. Place the hot charcoal on top of the vessel or bowl with sand. Sprinkle a pinch of the loose incense on top of the hot charcoal, or place a single pastille. Enjoy the smoke and add more loose incense or pastille once the smoke has run its course.
