Baressential - Art of Soap

"Our biological rhythms are the symphony of the cosmos, music embedded deep within us to which we dance, even when we can't name the tune." ~ Deepak Chopra ❤❤❤

"Be good to your #skin. You’ll wear it every day for the rest of your life." ~ Rennee Rouleau ❤❤❤

Just feeling sunny!!! 💛

Simply #beautiful - precious golden liquids. Pure and translucent, #coldpressed #plantoils with powers to soothe, heal, protect and seal. 💚💚💚

In defense of one of #nature's most unloved #plants and one of our favourite ingredients - Maligned as a nuisance weed - a plant that don't play by human rules, the stinging #nettle, is a super charged gift, packed with nutritious, #healing #vitality for #skin, hair and body. ❤

Naturally beautiful - the many shades of #kaolin #clay - green, yellow, blue, pink and purple. Used in ancient #beauty rituals for thousands of years to decorate, heal, tone, cleanse and detoxify. Such an amazing material we still use since ancient times. ❤❤❤

Ideas board for our new #PalmFree range. All hands on deck as we brainstorm, play, research, test and then go back to the drawing board. We are feeling very impatient to see the final results, but you can't rush Art. It's this creative journey that is the joy. ❤❤❤

The art to of balance - our aim - to create beautiful skincare, amazing to use, without harm to the environment. It's a serious objective which we achieve with lots of play. Buzz in the workshop as we are determined to finalise the designs and scents of our #palmfreesoap bars.

A few of our favourite ingredients. Nature's abundant palette, amazing #natural colourants that help your #skin to shine with #NaturalBeauty. #Herbs, #spices and #clays, long used to nurture, nourish and soothe - can help your skin to defend itself against premature aging. ❤ 🤗

Like the smell of mountain wind in your hair - juniper berry, #marjoram, Jamaican #sandalwood and #oakmoss. When designing our Wetstone Bar I was dreaming of ancient mountains laced with grey #stone walls that shade golden grass stems, and moist plushes of luscious green #grass.

Orange, lime, grapefruit, lemongrass, patchouli, neroli, jasmine, rosemary, lavender - the workshop is filled with heavenly #scents. ❤ 5 years since we started pouring these and I still get great sensational satisfaction when I see these boxes lined up. baressential.ie/gift-boxes/

Bouquet of yellow honey scented beauty ❤ A stunning sight greeting us every #Spring. Patch works of luscious green grass juxtaposed to glorious yellow #rapeseed flowers that glow incandescently under brooding grey skies. One of the few oils we can source locally and we love it.

Stopped in my tracks every time I pass the #cherryblossom tree, in awe of its fragile, brave beauty in the face of winter's reluctance to let go, April showers, frost and hail threaten, but they hang in. Yet, no doubt Spring is here - so excited!!! ❤❤❤

Enriched with amazing #organic #sheabutter to help soothe and smooth - our pretty #Jasmine, #Lime and #Grapefruit beauty bar of artisan #handmadesoap. baressential.ie/shop/beauty-…

Creating #NaturalPerfumes is like climbing into a magical time machine. I can be transported to any place or time all I need are my pure #essentialoils and #imagination. I work to create a #symmetry that it is structured with base, middle and high notes. Balanced, but alive. ❤

If #optimism had a #scent I think it would be sweet juicy pink #grapefruit. Its clean bright scent is a tonic for mind and soul. Recommended one whiff - for a shift in gear - a change of perspective - to elevate the trajectory of your day - feeling renewed ❤❤❤

What makes #rain smell so nice? Soil recently moistened releasing rich earthy bouquets, #plantoils secreted after a sun soaked day - escaping into the air after a sudden downpour, ozone pulled down from the sky on droplets. The smell of rain on rock after a long dry spell ❤❤❤
