Handmade - A Scented Space - Soap Blends
Infused with the nutrient-rich botanical ingredients of Fireweed
Soap-making is a timeless art that requires patience and attention to detail and those who create soap are always eager to enhance their basic soap recipes with new scents and rich botanical ingredients.
For me - always - it's Fireweed Epilobium angustifolium
After ethically harvesting (wildcrafting) Fireweed during its peak growing time, a lengthy process of infusing Fireweed into a quality, cold-pressed carrier oil is done. This age-old method of soaking the plant material in oils (maceration) is used to extract the vitality, spirit and beneficial healing components of the plant.
Fireweed brings a unique quality to our handmade soap, as the phytonutrients found in this amazing plant compliment and enhance the other ingredients contained in our rich-lathering and skin-soothing formulas.
Our basic foundation for making soap that gently and thoroughly cleans the skin uses the simple ingredients of olive and coconut oils for their moisturizing and nutrient-rich properties.
We then add the blends from our A Scented Space program to bring balance and harmony to your emotional state of being with the scents of these soaps.
We obtain our essential oils from companies within Canada who use strict guidelines for sourcing the purest quality of essential oils, so we can feel confident that our products are of high quality.
We also follow all of the regulations within the Canadian Standards of Soap Making, as our soap products have their own Cosmetic License Numbers (CLN)

Fireweed, Epilobium angustifolium, is a perennial, herbaceous plant from the onagraceae, or evening primrose family and grows wild in remote, pristine locations on Vancouver Island. It is often found sheltered within its companion plants of blackberry brambles and stinging nettles.
This amazing plant mends the earth from the shock and trauma of forest fires and clear-cut logging. Its root system weaves together and anchors the soil so trees and other plants can grow, while the tender, young leaves feed the deer.
It has sweet, ever-blooming flowers that provide nectar to the insects and bees, but even though its brilliant display of colour will draw your attention, this is a quiet, unassuming plant that grows in areas that are hard to access and its attracting, scented molecules go undetected by humans.
I resonate so deeply with this plant as I recognize in it, the quiet reflection of my own desire to bring comfort, ease and solace to those experiencing the sorrows of grief and loss.
