Description
This natural bar of shower soap contains honey from the
dark bee.
On top I added some bees wax to the formula, so that the soap bar becomes hard and therefore tends to induce a kind of skueaky-clean feeling on the skin.
Honey has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties which are boosted by the bees wax.

ProSpecieRara
The Swiss foundation promotes the “Dark Bee” and has been successful in convincing apiculturalists in the valleys of “Prättigau” and “Val Müstair” to switch to this old type of honey bee.
The dark bee was the first honey bee north of the alps and like many other “old” types of farm animals was “replaced” it by more “efficient” and more “productive” breeds of bees.
Which has lead to a heavy drop in bio diversity.
2% of the sales price goes to “ProSpecieRara”.
Anwendung
For showering.
Either you simply use the piece of soap without any auxiliary implement. Or then you use the practical “DuschSäckli“.
Another option would be the ingenious magnetic soap holder: makes things a lot easier in terms of handling.
Healthy skin
According to LOTS of feedback I have heard throughout the years the imporant points seem to be:
– if possible: don’t take a shower on a daily basis
– use soap (or any cleaning agent) only in the “neuralgic” spots – not on all of the body
– rinse well – everywhere
– try not to rub yourself too rigorously with your towel; better would be to pat the moisture away; leaving some water on the skin would be optimal
Due to the essential oils it’s not recommended for kids unter 3 years of age
Hard / soft
Industrial soap or natural soap which is made with palm- or coconut oil tends to be very hard.
Old olive-oil soap also tends to be hard.
Relatively fresh natural soap – made without palm- or coconut oil – can be a wee softer than the kinds mentioned above.
In order to achieve favorable characteristics for our skin, I absolutely want special oils in my recipes 🙂
And some of these tend to make my soaps a bit less hard.
This is the reason why I classify my DuschMödeli into different “degrees of hardness”.
On a scale between 1 (very hard) and 5 (very soft) this Mödeli would figure at “1“.
Longevity
Keep it dry. Don’t let it sit in water. Then it last the longest.
Helpful could be the soap pouch or the magnet soap holder.
