Our Wanderland Vegan Soap Bar was handcrafted and hand-cut in Annandale, N.J.

Why the name?

We chose a play off “Wonderland” as we infused this bar with Amanita Muscaria the iconic mushroom from Alice and Wonderland.

Since we Love to Wander as well, BUS LIFE BLOG! what better MASH UP then WanderLand.

Since, Amanita Muscaria was infused into the base of our soap solution. We wanted to add an Oil Extract as well. We chose Self Heal.

Self heal (Prunella vulgaris) is an herb that commonly grows across the world and has been used traditionally for ages, its wellness-supporting virtues are often forgotten about in many modern herbal practices!

Roughly 400 years ago, self heal was considered one of the top herbs in its class and was highly sought after by herbalists far and wide (Holmes, 1989).

One of the most common ways to use self heal is to help promote skin and tissue repair. Hence the name “self heal,” this herb can be used both internally and externally to help the skin and tissues repair (“heal”) on their own.

Self heal is an astringent herb, making it useful to apply topically to reduce localized swelling through tonifying and tightening the tissues it touches (Holmes, 1989).

This beautiful combination needed one more staple so we added Therapeutic Grade Eucalyptus Essential Oil.

I just love feeling like I am at the spa when in my shower. Not only does it transcend me to another place, a warm healing place. But it opens up the airways, allowing for deep breath work.

 

Eucalyptus oil is a vasodilator by nature.

Because Massaging the body with it regularly helps improve blood circulation throughout the body, using it in a soap bar makes it ideal.

It is also anti-bacterial &  anti-inflammatory.

Our Wanderland Vegan Soap Bar comes in three different variation’s of medicinal dyes for you to choose from.

Indigo – Activated Charcoal – Beet Root

Indigo powder is called Indian Indigo in English, Wasma in Arabic and Neel in Urdu. Indigo is a small shrub that grows about 1 to 2 meters high and produces beautiful pink flowers. Indigo plant has wonderful medicinal uses and all parts of the plant is used medicinally. Though indigo is known mainly as a natural dye, it has other amazing hair benefits too. Indigo is a mild anti bacterial, it has tendencies to keep insects and other pathogens away. It is restorative, has smoothing properties. Great for psoriasis, and premature greying. It can lead to new hair growth. Treats Dandruff, grey hair, prevents scalp infections and soothes scalp.

Activated Charcoal has become a common ingredient in cosmetics. Researchers have reported that activated charcoal can help draw microparticles, such as dirt, dust, chemicals, toxins, and bacteria, to the surface of the skin, to make removing them easier. Charcoal may absorb smells and harmful gases, making it ideal in my Wanderland Vegan Soap. Activated charcoal is also reported to be able to absorb excess moisture and control humidity levels at a micro level.

Around the world, many different traditional medicine practitioners use activated charcoal powder made from coconut shells to treat soft tissue conditions, such as skin infections. Activated charcoal may have an antibacterial effect by absorbing harmful microbes from wounds.

This Batch of Wanderland Bars were made with organic coconut husk activated charcoal.

BeetRoot Powder is a root vegetable that is grown all over the world. It is most commonly used in skincare products, natural hair dyes, cooking, and natural medicine.
