All dressed up...

Mint Chocolate Chip Cupcake Soap Bar in Linen bag
Mama Z's Mint Chocolate Chip Cupcake Soap Bar is made with 100% Organic Coconut Oil.


Coconut oil is used primarily as an emollient—an oil that soothes and softens the skin, and corrects dryness and scaling—to act as a barrier.  Studies have shown that coconut oil increases the turnover of collagen, the main structural protein in your skin.  This means your skin is better able to repair itself and reduce signs of long term weathering. 
Other properties of coconut oil include the following:
·         Topical wrinkle treatment
·         Anti-microbial (kills bacteria)
·         Wound healing
·         Nourishes and strengthens the hair cuticle
·         Full of antioxidants
·         Brings skin back to natural balance after exposure to chemicals

Lather Love

A beautiful sight to a soap maker!

Are you wanting to make a switch to soap that is natural and organic instead of soap that is loaded with harmful chemicals? Then this is a great site for you! Check back as we do some digging into commercial soaps and other beauty products to learn the truth about them. 


Quality products can only come from quality ingredients such as this Coconut Oil.

Here's a few interesting facts about Coconut Oil.
Coconut oil is made up of medium chained fatty acids, MFCA's are known for their ability to kill off harmful bacteria, infection and parasites, making the oil as good for the inside of you as the outside.  A study about the effects of massage and massage oil on newborns concluded that massages with coconut oil quickly increased the amount of fatty acids in the blood.  Acknowledging that we gain nutrition through our skin holds us accountable in grander ways for the products we use on our skin. 
When so many body creams and beauty products are petroleum based and full of chemicals and fragrances, it is increasingly important to recognize that these things will make it into the bloodstream.  However, when we use natural products like shea butter and coconut oil, what seeps into the blood is in fact nutrition and fatty acids valuable to the functioning of the joints, cholesterol levels, skin health, and much more.
This really makes me think twice about what I apply to my skin.
