Oh, and I have to share this: my cousin started using this soap after struggling with post-partum acne and dark spots. She swears by it now! She told me just last week that her skin has never felt so soft and looked so clear. It makes me so happy to know something I’ve created has helped her (and could help you, too!).

Benefits of Honey & Calendula Soap

1. Deep Moisturization
   Honey acts as a natural humectant, drawing moisture into the skin and keeping it hydrated all day.

2. Healing Properties
   Calendula is renowned for its ability to speed up wound healing and repair damaged skin, making it perfect for irritated or sensitive skin.

3. Soothing Inflammation
   Both honey and calendula work to calm redness, reduce swelling, and soothe inflamed skin, making this soap ideal for conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or sunburn.

4. Gentle Cleansing
   Honey has natural antibacterial properties, while calendula helps cleanse without stripping the skin's natural oils.

5. Anti-Aging Power
   Rich in antioxidants, both ingredients fight free radicals and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

6. Acne Relief
   Honey’s antibacterial effects, combined with calendula’s anti-inflammatory properties, help reduce breakouts and soothe irritated skin.

7. Safe for All Skin Types
   The gentle nature of honey and calendula makes this soap suitable for even the most sensitive skin types.

DIY Honey & Calendula Soap Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 lb melt-and-pour soap base (goat’s milk or glycerin)

• Silicone soap molds

Instructions:

1. Prep Your Materials: Set up your workspace with your ingredients and soap molds.

2. Melt the Soap Base: Cut the soap base into small chunks and melt it in a double boiler or microwave in 15-20 second intervals, stirring until smooth.

3. Add Honey and Calendula: Stir in the honey until fully dissolved, then add the calendula petals and essential oil. Mix gently but thoroughly.

4. Pour into Molds: Carefully pour the mixture into your molds, tapping gently to remove air bubbles.

5. Let it Set: Allow the soap to cool and harden for 1-2 hours at room temperature or in the fridge.
