Handcrafted Adventurer Balsam Cedarwood Soap
Created for the trail and the shower, this handcrafted bar soap carries balsam, cedarwood, and berry scent notes.
Avocado oil, used for intensive surface softening of dry or weather-worn skin, joins the saponified base and belongs to a small-batch collection of natural soaps.
Skin care engages touch at each step of a routine, and the step depends on the product. Cleansing products lift surface oils, debris, and bacteria from the skin (Aiello & Larson, 2002). Moisturizing products such as creams, lotions, and balms add emollients that soften the skin surface and help hold in hydration. Serums, masks, and treatments are applied to specific areas of the face, and the pressure of application adds to the sensation. Applying any of these products activates C‑tactile afferents, the nerve fibers that process pleasant touch (Löken et al., 2009; McGlone et al., 2014). Slow, massage‑like pressure is associated with reduced stress and relaxation (Field, 2010; Field, 2015), and warmth and absorption add to the sensation as the product meets the skin.
Anyone with a skin condition, allergies, or sensitivities should consult a physician or dermatologist before use.
