This soap is infused with sacred and traditional essences of Mayan ceremonial incense: Frankincense,  Myrrh, and Copal from the Mayan site Uaxactun. Copal has been used traditionally by the Maya in Guatemala for burning during scared ceremonies and it believed to purify the air and the spirit. To the ancient Maya, the divine God of the earth extracted copal resin from The tree of life and gave it as a gift to humans.  It is a resin similar to amber with a smoky, sweet aroma.  The organic copal used by Tierra & Lava is harvested from trees from the  Uaxactun village and Mayan site of Guatemala (just behind Tikal). Frankincense and Myrrh are combined with Copal to burn as incense for ceremonies and also happen to have amazing skincare properties that the Egyptians made use of centuries ago.

The ingredients that make a difference

ROSEWOOD OIL

Rosewood oil can strengthen and regenerate the skin. It is, therefore, used to treat stretch marks, tired skin, wrinkles, and acne, as well as to reduce scars. Equally, this is also found to be extraordinary for treating dandruff, eczema, and hair loss.

OLIVE FRUIT

Beyond their antioxidant properties, which combat free radicals that cause aging, olive fruit help skin stay soft and healthy since it also contain vitamin E and vitamin A. Vitamin E prevents the formation of free radicals which can cause skin diseases while keeping the skin moisturized.

FRANKINCENSE

Essential Oil Frankincense helps to soothe the skin and improve its elasticity and tone, reducing blemishes and discloration.

How to use it

Morning & Night

The soap create a beautiful light foam that lathers and moisturizes hands. Simply rub between wet hands until hands feel clean. Some of our soaps contain gentle exfoliants that you may feel when cleansing. Great for hands and body.

Founder, Lucy's Tip

Store in a cool, dry place once opened. Once in use, keep it on a soap dish or surface that allows the water to drain. As it is a natural product, if allowed to sit in a wet surface for too long, the soap bar will dissolve.

Jazmin's Tip

"I love the soft romantic aroma of this bar soap. It's both sensual and grounding."
