The roots of this gentle herbal soap started in my time as a volunteer at CANSA where my patients needed an alternative to harch chain store soap. I made this for many years under the name “Cancer Warrior Soap” This is a gentle uncolored and fragrance-free soap, with lots of Olive oil and a tad bit of Coconut and Castor just to even out the sliminess associated with Castille – 100% Olive oil soap.
For this batch, I made a tea with Skin loving Herbs (Stinging Nettle, White Sage, Fumatory)
