YUZU: Citrus Handmade Soap

Fresh Citrus Fragrance with Calendula

Think refreshing and invigorating. Yuzu is a Japanese fruit which resembles a small grapefruit.  It's flavor is tart with overtones of mandarin orange.  But we're not talking food here, we're talking about soap!!

A light layer of calendula petals adds a super-gentle scrub, like being nuzzled by a lamb. No heavy exfoliating here, just a soft, warm massage that comforts, never irritates. We think it’s the perfect compliment to the scent.

In Japan, bathing with Yuzu during the winter solstice is a custom that dates to at least the early 18th century. Whole Yuzu fruits are floated in the hot water of the bath, sometimes enclosed in a cloth bag, releasing their aroma. The fruit may also be cut in half, allowing the citrus juice to mingle with the bathwater. The Yuzu bath, known commonly as yuzuyu, is said to guard against colds, treat the roughness of skin, warm the body and relax the mind
