We use it almost daily but what is the Origin: SOAP 🍃🌺
It is believed that soap was first created by nature itself!
The fat of animal bodies, when carried down rocky mountains by the rain, would meet the ashes of tree barks in a reaction we call saponification. The mud that resulted would accumulate at the valleys beneath and used to facilitate cleaning.
Who would have thought 💭
Mama Gaia teaching us once again.
Now we know how to create that same process, still using earth’s ingredients, to create soaps like the ones we made at Origins Gathering 2022.
Soap can be made with simple ingredients, unrefined or minimally refined from the earth. A natural soap biodegrades gently and goes back to nature without polluting it. We can clean our bodies and homes with the wisdom of nature, making sure that what we leave behind will circle back into her cycles.
