This excellent facial cleanser contains kaolin clay, which is very mild and yet very effective. Unlike soap, it does not foam up, but kaolin clay benefits your skin by gently sloughing away dull dead skin, absorbing impurities from the pores, and leaving skin feeling wonderfully soft. At Earthen Myrra, we follow a traditional soap making technique call the Cold Process Method. It takes 4 weeks to cure. Usually all the soaps are made in small batches on regular basis to maintain the stock. Shelf life: 8 Months( its safe to use even after 8 months but since these are natural soap bars and are all scented with essential oils only, the fragrance fades away)
