In addition to the shea butter and goats milk base, this exquisite soap contains calendula flowers, calendula oil/extract, and tamanu oil, as well as jojoba organic and emu oil. This soap contains no added fragrances and, like all our products, contains all natural ingredients.

This incredible combination of natural oils and botanicals will lock moisture into your skin, smooth out all the roughness, and provide natural healing properties to make your skin look and feel healthier and younger. It is also wonderful as a gentle product to cleanse and moisturize damaged skin. We created this exclusive formula for our Greenberry family and friends, and it has become so popular that we have decided to add it to our regular line of products.

Calendula—also known as the marigold flower—has for centuries been used for skin care and medicinally for soothing inflammation, controlling bleeding and healing damaged tissue. Ideal for dry, dehydrated, irritated and delicate skin, Calendula’s healing properties have been used to provide relief for eczema, diaper rash, burns, acne, and other minor injuries and skin problems as well as fighting the signs of aging. Its essential oils and acids are reported to be antimicrobial and anti-oxidizing agents.

People from many cultures claim that Tamanu Oil (Calophyllum tacamahaca, a tree from tropical SE Asia and Polynesia--also sometimes called Foraha Oil) has anti-neuralgic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antibiotic and antioxidant properties; the thick, dark oil is harvested and cold-pressed from the nut of an apple-like fruit. Pacific islanders use Tamanu oil to treat joint pains, arthritis, bruises, cuts, abrasions, burns, rashes, scars and as an analgesic for sciatica, rheumatism and ulcers. Tamanu oil reportedly promotes new tissue formation, accelerating healing and healthy skin growth, and contains powerful bactericide and fungicide agents that defeat human and animal pathogens. 

Because of the pleasant natural scent of the Calendula and Tamanu oils and to avoid adding anything that might irritate sensitive skin, we have kept these products free of additional fragrances.

This product also benefits from the addition of Jojoba organic (Simmondsia chinensis) and Emu oil (Dromiceius novaehol-landiae). Jojoba, very similar in composition to human natural skin oils, nourishes, softens and moisturizes mature and/or dry skin. Jojoba may help to heal inflamed skin conditions such as psoriasis or any form of dermatitis. It also has anti-oxidant properties. Our products contain 100% pure jojoba from Argentina, the extract of seeds produced by the jojoba plant which is expeller-pressed, then pasteurized and filtered to prevent bacterial growth. It’s gentle enough for newborn babies and may soothe and restore elasticity to any dry skin area or help with psoriasis.

We use pure Emu oil from Australia, where for centuries, the Australian aboriginal culture has been applying Emu oil to their wounds with excellent results. Today, it is being increasingly added worldwide to foods, muscle pain relievers, skin care products, and natural soaps since it is reported to have anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and skin regenerative qualities. It has been used to help heal bed sores, assist with scar and stretch mark prevention, provide sunburn relief, and help with arthritis pain and inflammation.

Greenberry's Calendula Tamanu products are available as a creamy buttery soap bar, a lotion (Refresh!), and a thick, buttery body and face cream (Replenish!).

Our soap is in a shea butter and goats milk base and contains calendula petals; the standard design is a large Celtic knot design (4 oz) as shown. It has the most buttery, marvelous texture of any of our soaps.

Note: Since the tamanu oil is harvested from the nut of the tamanu tree, those with nut allergies may need to use it with caution.
