What Makes Our Sensitive Skin Soap Special:
Our Gentle Calendula Soap is crafted with a meticulous blend of nature’s finest ingredients, each chosen for its unique contribution to soothing and nourishing sensitive skin:
The Heart of Calm – Calendula & Colloidal Oatmeal:
Calendula-Infused Olive Oil: For centuries, calendula has been cherished for its remarkable ability to soothe irritation, calm redness, and comfort troubled skin. We steep these golden petals in olive oil to capture their full, gentle power.
Colloidal Oatmeal: This finely milled oat powder is a hero for itchy, sensitive skin, known for its immediate soothing and protective qualities.
The Rich Hydrators – Shea Butter & Aloe Vera Butter:
Shea Butter: A luxurious butter packed with vitamins and fatty acids, it deeply moisturises and conditions, leaving skin feeling wonderfully soft and supple.
Aloe Vera Butter: The legendary soothing properties of aloe meet the richness of a skin-loving butter, offering an extra layer of gentle hydration and calm.
The Gentle Supporters – Kukui, Rice Bran & Castor Oils:
Kukui Oil: This light, penetrating oil from Hawaii is prized for its ability to soothe dry, chapped skin without a greasy feel.
Rice Bran Oil: Adds a silky smoothness to the lather and contributes its own moisturising and antioxidant benefits.
Castor Oil: Ensures a rich, creamy, and stable lather that feels luxurious on the skin.
A Touch of Nature’s Sweetness & Purity – Honey & Brazilian Yellow Clay:
Raw Honey: A natural humectant, it draws moisture to the skin while offering its renowned soothing and clarifying properties.
Brazilian Yellow Clay: This gentle clay imparts a beautiful, natural sunny hue and helps to mildly purify the skin without drying.
Citric Acid: We add a small amount of this natural acid (often found in citrus fruits!) to our soap recipe. It helps to prevent soap scum, especially if you have hard water. This means a cleaner rinse for your skin and fewer residues in your bath or shower, leading to a brighter feel and a more pleasant experience all around.
Your Daily Ritual of Skin Calm:
Regular use of this beautiful, handcrafted soap will transform your daily cleansing into a moment of pure comfort. Say goodbye to that stripped, uncomfortable feeling and hello to skin that feels soft, calm, and resilient. Watch as areas of dryness and irritation feel soothed, and your skin rediscovers its natural, healthy balance.

Gentle Calendula Soap: Science & Ingredients
At Ossie Naturals, we believe in transparency and the intelligent application of nature's wisdom. This section provides a comprehensive look at the carefully selected ingredients that make our Gentle Calendula Soap so effective for pure comfort and lasting skin health.
Gentle by Nature, Effective by Design: The Ossie Naturals Soap Philosophy
Our Gentle Calendula Soap is born from a deep respect for traditional soap-making and an understanding of what sensitive skin truly needs. We believe that a daily cleanse should be a moment of comfort, not a cause for concern.
✓ The Art of Traditional Soap-Making: We craft our soaps using the time-honoured cold process method. This technique allows us to have complete control over our ingredients and ensures that the natural glycerine, a wonderful skin humectant, is retained in the final bar. This glycerine helps to draw moisture to your skin, making our soaps inherently more conditioning than many commercial alternatives.
✓ Why Unscented for This Bar? For skin that is already feeling stressed, irritated, or is highly reactive, even natural essential oils can sometimes be one variable too many. Our Calendula Soap is intentionally left unscented to provide the purest, kindest cleanse possible. Its subtle, clean aroma comes naturally from the high-quality oils, butters, honey, and calendula infusion itself – a true scent of nature.
✓ Focus on Soothing & Barrier Support: Every ingredient in this soap is chosen not just for its cleansing ability, but for its contribution to skin health. From the calendula-infused olive oil to the calming colloidal oatmeal and nourishing butters, our aim is to support your skin's natural barrier, reduce feelings of discomfort, and leave your skin feeling balanced and cared for.
This isn't just soap; it's a daily offering of gentle care, handcrafted to bring peace to your skin.
Key Ingredients & Their Gentle Power:
Our Gentle Calendula Soap is a carefully selected blend of nature's most soothing and skin-loving ingredients:
✓ Calendula Infused Olive Oil (Olea Europaea Fruit Oil & Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract): The star of this soap. Olive oil, a classic moisturiser, is infused with calendula flowers, renowned for their exceptional ability to calm inflammation, soothe irritation, and promote skin comfort. This golden infusion forms the gentle heart of our soap.
✓ Coconut Oil (Cocos Nucifera Oil): Provides a beautiful, bubbly lather and effective cleansing, ensuring your skin feels thoroughly refreshed without stripping.
✓ Rice Bran Oil (Oryza Sativa Bran Oil): Rich in vitamins and antioxidants, this oil contributes to a mild, conditioning lather and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth.
✓ Kukui Oil (Aleurites Moluccana Seed Oil): A precious oil from Hawaii, known for its light texture and ability to penetrate deeply. It's excellent for soothing dry, chapped, or irritated skin without feeling heavy.
✓ Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii Butter): A deeply moisturising and conditioning butter, packed with fatty acids and vitamins. It helps to leave skin feeling wonderfully soft, supple, and protected.
✓ Aloe Vera Butter (Cocos Nucifera Oil & Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract): Combines the moisturising benefits of coconut oil with the famously soothing and cooling properties of Aloe Vera, offering an extra layer of comfort for sensitive skin.
✓ Castor Oil (Ricinus Communis Seed Oil): Helps create a rich, creamy, and stable lather, enhancing the luxurious feel of the soap.
✓ Raw Honey (Mel): A natural humectant, honey draws moisture to the skin. It's also known for its soothing and clarifying properties, making it a wonderful addition for delicate skin.
✓ Brazilian Yellow Clay (Illite): This gentle clay imparts a beautiful, natural sunny colour to the soap and offers very mild purification, helping to draw impurities from the skin without drying it out.
✓ Colloidal Oatmeal (Avena Sativa Kernel Flour): Finely ground oatmeal that is a champion at soothing itchiness, calming redness, and providing gentle comfort to irritated or eczema-prone skin.
✓ Citric Acid: A natural acid used in small amounts in traditional soap making to help prevent soap scum, especially in hard water areas, leading to a cleaner rinse.
✓ Calendula Petals (Calendula Officinalis Flower): Whole calendula petals adorn the top of each bar, a beautiful visual reminder of the key soothing ingredient within.
(Sodium Hydroxide is used in the soap-making process to turn oils into soap. None remains in the final, cured bar of soap.)

✓ Lather Up: Wet the bar and work up a rich, creamy lather between your hands or on a soft washcloth.

Preservation & Natural Character
Gentle Calendula Soap: Preservation & Natural Character
At Ossie Naturals, our commitment to natural purity extends to how our products are preserved and how their inherent natural character contributes to their unique quality. This is especially true for our handcrafted soaps.
Caring for Your Natural Soap's Integrity:
To ensure your handcrafted soap lasts as long as possible and maintains its integrity:
✓ Storage Before Use: Store your soap in its original breathable cardboard box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity until you're ready to use it. This allows the soap to continue its gentle curing process, enhancing its quality and longevity.
✓ During Use: Once in use, place your soap on a well-draining soap dish. This prevents it from sitting in water, which can soften the bar and shorten its lifespan. Allowing it to dry thoroughly between uses is key.
The Beauty of Natural Character: A Synergy of Ancestral Wisdom & Skin Science
At Ossie Naturals, our products are a testament to the power of 100% natural origin ingredients, intelligently combined to work in deep harmony with your skin. We combine nature's finest ingredients with scientifically understood botanical lipids, plus our signature herbal infusions and pure essential oils. This is skincare that respects your skin's innate intelligence.
At our artisanal cosmetic and soap-making workshop, we take immense pride in crafting products that are as nourishing as they are cleansing, using only the finest natural ingredients. This dedication means that variations in our products' colour, aroma, and texture are not just possible, but are a celebrated aspect of our craft. These variations are a testament to the authenticity of our methods and the unique properties of the botanical ingredients we employ.
Each batch is a reflection of the natural world, influenced by the season of harvest and the specific conditions under which our ingredients are grown and processed. For example, essential oils derived from plants and flowers may exhibit variations in their aromatic intensity, depending on the time of year they were harvested and the extraction process used. Such changes are inherent to true artisanal production and highlight the individuality of each product we create.
These natural variations are not imperfections but rather the hallmarks of genuine craftsmanship. They add to the unique beauty and individuality of each batch, ensuring that while the core qualities and benefits of our products remain consistent, each offers a distinct and personal experience. This not only enhances your connection with nature but also makes each use a uniquely charming and effective encounter with our products.
We believe that these subtle differences enrich your experience, providing a personal touch that mass-produced products simply cannot replicate. Each product becomes a unique piece of art, carrying the essence of the natural world into your daily routine.
Choosing Ossie Naturals means choosing a product where every detail, right down to its wrap, is considered with your well-being and the integrity of nature in mind.
Wrapped for Purity & Breathability
Our Thoughtful Packaging: Purely Wrapped for Purity & Breathability
At Ossie Naturals, our commitment to purity extends to how we present our handcrafted soaps. You'll find your Gentle Calendula Soap nestled in a simple, breathable cardboard box, and here’s why this choice is so important to us:
✓ Allowing Your Soap to Breathe: Our traditional cold process soaps, like fine wine, benefit from air circulation. A breathable cardboard box allows the soap to continue its natural curing process, ensuring a harder, longer-lasting, and milder bar over time.
✓ Minimising Plastic Contact: We choose to avoid plastic shrink-wrapping for our soaps. While some packaging aims to seal in scent or protect from humidity, we prioritise the purity of the bar itself. Our concern is to limit your soap's contact with plastics, thereby reducing any potential for the transfer of unwanted residues or microparticles that can sometimes be associated with heated or direct plastic contact.
✓ A Kinder Process, A Purer Product: By avoiding heat-shrinking plastic wraps, we also sidestep processes that can create fumes or require direct heat application to the product. We believe this contributes to a cleaner making environment and ultimately, a purer bar of soap for your skin.
✓ Simplicity & Eco-Conscious Values: A cardboard box is a straightforward, recyclable, and often biodegradable choice that aligns with our respect for the environment. It’s honest packaging for an honest product.
✓ Focus on What Matters: We believe the true value lies in the meticulously crafted soap within. Our simple packaging reflects this, ensuring that what you're investing in is the quality and gentle effectiveness of the Calendula Soap itself.
Choosing Ossie Naturals means choosing a product where every detail, right down to its wrap, is considered with your well-being and the integrity of nature in mind.
