We have gathered these ingredients from all over the world.

People from many cultures claim that Tamanu Oil (Calophyllum tacamahaca, a tree from tropical SE Asia and Polynesia) 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.  

Nettle (Urtica dioica or pilulifera), known as “isirgan” in Turkey, is a highly nutritious herb containing nutrients such as iron, potassium, magnesium, Vitamins K and A, calcium, and other minerals. In additional to its internal uses for many medicinal purposes, nettle is used externally in many cultures for inflammatory skin conditions, chronic eczema, arthritis and rheumatic pain, sciatica, neuralgia as well as burns and insect bites, as it has a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory effect.  It is moisturizing and tones the skin and scalp. Our soap recipe uses ground nettle seeds and wildcrafted nettle leaf extract. 

Oatmeal has been used for many years to relieve skin irritations, such as psoriasis and eczema. Oatmeal is produced from finely ground oats and has exceptional skin soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. 

Finely ground oatmeal in our Repair! soap serves as a gentle exfoliant to soothe and remove dry and flaking skin and to stimulate skin circulation.

Neem Oil is pressed from the fruits and seeds of Azadirachta Indica, an evergreen tree native to India, and contains many natural fatty acids such as Omega-6, Omega-9, Omega-3 and Palmitic Acid. It has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic traditional medicine to treat skin diseases and inflammations.

Arnica (Arnica Montana) is a flowering plant native to Europe whose roots contain thymol, a powerful anti-inflammatory when applied topically. Medical studies have shown that Arnica assists normal healing processes by helping to transport accumulations of blood and fluid that have built up by helping to dilate blood capillaries just beneath the skin.

Tilio (Greek mountain herbal tea) comes from the flowers and leaves of a large tree-like bush (sometimes called the lime tree) found in Crete and areas of Greece. As a tea, it is believe to relax the body by improving blood circulation and lowering blood pressure. It is also used in lotions and creams and is considered therapetic for the skin.

Our Repair! soap is a creamy golden brown color and comes in a 4-ounce rectangular bar in a Ferns  or Celtic knot design. We do not add any additional fragrance, and so its pleasant mild scent comes from the natural scents of the above ingredients.

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. We do not know if it causes the same reaction as other kinds of nuts.
