Making: Grapefruit + Calendula

This week we’re focussing on Grapefruit + Calendula soap, making these beautiful bars of subtle citrus sunshine with lashings of calendula petals that were harvested and dried months ago. It’s a great bar of soap for all members of the family, and can be used top to toe. The calendula (marigold) petals are refreshingly and gently exfoliating, helping to lift off stubborn dirt or stains. It’s particularly great at scrubbing out stains on clothing! We’ve used it to remove dirt from our toddlers’ muddy trouser knees, as well as painting splotches that were meant to go on paper but somehow never made it that far. A great family bar, and gentle enough to use on the face too.
