Sumaksae Korea Bentonite

Inspired by: My Home Away from Home|| South Korean Historic Culture

The Story: (A mini history lesson) ||  While living in Korea, I used to LOVE visiting Gyeongju, a city on the southeast coast which was the capital of the country during the 1,000-year-long Silla dynasty reign. In this town, they are famous for baking Gyeongju pang (or Gyongju bread) which is a red bean paste filled snack. At first, I wasn’t a fan, but over time my taste buds adjusted. This town is also known for its extensive historical artifacts, one of which is Sumakse, or the 1,000-year smile (the shape of this soap). The point of me using this mold is to pay homage to a land that I had once called home for 3 ½ years.

The Escentials:

Bentonite Clay: (Montmorillonite) aged volcanic ash that is a powerhouse when it comes to detoxifying and drawing out impurities. When applied to skin (hair, teeth, etc.), the clay’s negative charge bonds with the negative charge of most toxins. (see this for more http://wellnessmama.com/5915/benefits-of-bentonite-clay/)

Tea Tree Essential Oil:(Maleluca) a strong camphor-scented antibacterial oil known to clear up acne, eczema, and psoriasis. Also fights odor, removes makeup, and helps relieve athlete’s foot.

 Lavender Essential Oil: The soothing flower notorious for use aroma-therapeutically also helps clear acne, aids in respiratory flow, and even stimulates hair growth. It is a natural anti-fungal and antibacterial oil.
