Beneficial Properties of Essential Oils
|
Rainmaker Soaps are made with pure vegetable oils which may include: olive, coconut, soy vegetable, canola, palm, avocado,
apricot kernel, sweet almond, or neem. Jojoba, while not an oil but a plant wax that resembles what your own body produces, is
added for additional benefits. Essential oils are added not only for aromatherapy but for properties that are exclusive to that
particular oil.
