Description
The
change–
over from
spring to warm
summer was the
inspiration to this recipe.
In English it sounds a bit strange: flappy… ?!?!?
What has “flapping” to do with a strong citrus scent ?
Well – nothing 🙂
But when I composed the scent for this soap I had all different kinds of flappy creatures in mind: a butterfly, a witch, a fairy etc. And I dreamed-up varied giftboxes which contained a butterfly, a witch a fairy.
But with time I learned that only me actually liked these different variations of gift boxes. So only the name “Flatter” (flappy) has remained…

Gift ?
If you would like to give this soap as a gift, I could enclose the small card I make for every soap. This card informs about the skin type, the scent and the aromatherapeutic effect of the specific soap of mine.
I don’t automatically add these cards to a shipment. So if you would like one, simply write so under “remarks” and I’ll stick it into the package.
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 “2“.
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.
