Handcrafted Switchback Trail Soap
Devised with spices, musk, and bergamot as scent notes, this handcrafted swirl soap belongs to the Rocky Mountain Collection.
The bar combines coconut, organic palm, castor, olive, and avocado oils, with avocado oil in many instances used for surface softening of dry skin.
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.
