Rusalka - Forest Bathing Soap
In Eastern European folklore, a rusalka is a mysterious and elusive water nymph who resides in the deep waters of forest lakes. These water maidens are the providers of life-giving moisture every spring, when they leave the depths of the lake to dance in the spring moonlight. When treated with respect, they bring nourishment to help crops grow plentifully. When their power is ignored or they are treated with ill intent, one may just find themselves dragged to the depths of the lake in which she dwells.
Rusalki and Nettle are of the same nature - both givers of great medicine when treated with reverence and great pain when disrespected.
May this soap be an offering which allows you to remember the call of the Nettle, the call of Rusalka, who leads you back to the lake in the forest from which all life springs.
List of Ingredients:
Olive Oil, Avocado Oil, Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Castor Oil, Nettle Hydrosol (locally foraged & hand distilled by Sasha) Powdered Nettle (locally foraged), French Green Clay, Rosemary & Mint Essential Oil, Sodium Hydroxide
