pure may chang bars

Posted on | October 27, 2009 | 2 Comments

i lost my head under production pressure recently and i made a bit of a mistake with a mis-labeled bottle (entirely my fault) and ended up creating a soap with pure may chang oil and nothing else.

it smells just gorgeous….a fresh lemony scent with grassy/herbaceous undertones.
i added some petals and green tea to make it pretty, and i’m calling it lemon tree.

may chang (litsea cubeba) oil comes from the fruit of a small shrub that is native to china, taiwan (where is is greatly loved), indonesia and other parts of se asia.
it is useful for acneic skins, excessive perspiration, oily skin.
it is enlivening, zesty, joyful and uplifts the spirits.

quite a happy mistake, when you get down to it.
