This avocado soap duet will keep you smiling during your shower and bath experience, whether you’re an avocado-lover (like myself) or not. Avocadoes have long been known for their incredible properties when digested and/or applied topically: from aiding digestion and weight-management, helping prevent cardiovascular disease to nourishing your skin.
The lengthy, yet worthy process of how this lovely soap has been created allows you to benefit from organic unrefined avocado oil, that has highly-moisturising properties and is rich in vitamins A, B, D and E, making this soap particularly good for sensitive, mature, sun and weather-damaged skin. As if that wasn’t enough, I added the nourishing butters of cocoa and shea into the recipe, as well as some coconut and castor oil for beautiful lather, plus extra-virgin olive oil and sweet almond oil for extra conditioning.
A special note about Avocuddle’s scent. Encouraged by the great feedback that I’ve had from feel great soap customers, I created a unique blend that appeals to both genders due to its non-floral, non-fruity, yet fresh and grounding subtle smell. In their perfect ratios, the essential oils of cedarwood, lemon, lime and patchouli create a soothing yet re-invigorating effect that helps relieve stress, tension and foggy-headedness. In my search for unobtrusive, yet fresh aroma for this geeky soap, I settled upon these essential oils mainly for their tonic and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as the actual colour of the blend that enhances the natural green appearance of this soap.
Each Avocuddle half has its own skin-nourishing “avocado stone”, which saves you the trouble of deciding which half to keep for yourself and which one to gift – there’s no better half, both are equally good. You’ll be pleased to find out that as you use your Avocuddle soap, both the stone and the actual fruit (you knew avocados are fruit, didn’t you? ;) ) will go down at the same, very slow rate, so your dear Avocuddle will keep its shape till pretty much the final bubble. A proud addition to the feel great soap range, this soap is very long lasting, making it ridiculously great value!
As you can probably tell, a lot of love and brain power went into creating this unique twin soap for you, and I have to admit that this project has been fuelled by many avocados that I had to let ripen before I could have them. Luckily, you don’t have to wait before you can have yours – Avocuddles are perfectly ripe and ready to be enjoyed… by your skin and senses ;)
