On saleVisit product page →Camamu Handmade Set for Dry Skin: Rosemary Nettle Shampoo, Black Beauty Soap, Argan Milk and Honey Soap
*Ideal for Winter Dry Skin*
Deliciously nourishing and rejuvenating 100% natural and biodegradable bar shampoo, facial soap & body soap for Dry Skin.
Please keep the bars in a dry place between use.
Rosemary Nettle Shampoo: Rosemary is an excellent tonic for hair and scalp which helps to strengthen the hair, stimulate the follicles and combat dry and flaky scalps, thus helping to reduce dandruff. It is also reputed to work against hair loss and greying. Nettles are prized for their health benefits when taken internally or used externally. In hair care, nettles help to combat dandruff, scalp pimples, scalp eczema and hair loss. High in vitamins and minerals, nettles help to gently support hair regrowth.
To use, just wet your hair, rub all over with the bar until a lather forms, put the bar aside and scrub as you like. Rinse well and then condition as needed.
Black Beauty Soap: Facial soap with detoxifying activated charcoal binds to toxins, dirt and grime deep cleaning the pores and surface of the skin. The kaolin clay swirls help absorb surface oils and condition the skin, making it also an excellent anti-acne soap. We augment this soap's detoxifying properties with an essential oil blend of juniper berry, clary sage, lemongrass and gingergrass which help rebalance the skin, clear and tone pores and energize skin and psyche. This soap leaves the skin feeling silky smooth and is not at all drying. Beautiful indeed!
Ingredients: olive, coconut, RSPO-certified palm, apricot kernel & aloe oils; activated charcoal & kaolin clay.
Argan Oil Milk and Honey: Argan oil, aka Liquid Gold, provides profound skin care benefits. Protein rich, full of anti-oxidants and carotenoids, it boosts the skin's elasticity, protects against premature aging and reduces skin irritations. The fresh goat's milk we use provides deep nourishment and moisturizing, while its alpha hydroxyl acids help the skin to shed its top layer of dead cells. For added benefit, we use local honey which acts as a humectant, attracting moisture to the skin as well as promoting gentle healing. We don't believe enough is ever really enough and so have added a restorative and regenerative essential oil blend to balance, soothe and restore the skin.
Ingredients: olive, coconut, RSPO-certified palm and argan oils; fresh, organic goat's milk; local honey. Scented with an essential oil blend of sweet orange, amyris sandalwood, geranium, cedar and frankincense.

2018 Greetings
Happy New Year!
May you live this new year in good health, with intention, gratitude and love. And most of all, remember to live each moment fully!For us, 2017 has been quite the ride! We were musing about this on December 31st in Vienna, at the bohemian Cafe Hawelka, a crowded dimly-lit space filled with good cheer and warmth, sipping our Cafe Melange (a sort of Viennese Cappuccino with more coffee and less milk). The overwhelming feeling we felt looking back at 2017 was GRATITUDE, for being the lucky new Camamu Soap keepers, for getting to work together with an amazing team creating organic awesomeness for you, for getting to meet many of you, and for the larger Camamu family, round the planet - a fun lot, who loves organic, is ethically responsible towards the environment, and enjoys the handmade and quirky in life.
One of the things we love most about Camamu is the nod back to the time of our grandmothers, the time of wildcrafting, of things made from old recipes by hand, with loving care, in big pots on the stove, stirred often, and fussed over. We love the charm of things coming into being slowly, teasingly, and asking for patience.
If you've ever had the pleasure to step into the back of our studio, you would feel like you've stepped inside a magical kitchen. There are white tables, stoves, wooden shelves lined with rows of jars filled with delightful herbs, dried flowers, and spices. There are drums filled with fresh and creamy plant butters with exotic names, like coconut, shea, avocado, there are glass jars on the window sill with nourishing golden, amber, green herbal infusions doing their magic in the sun. And last but not least, there is the array of exotic essential oils from all over the globe, with scents divine.
Next comes the cooking of the soap, the stirring it in big pots, the pouring it in hand-made trays, the covering it up in blankets to let it do its alchemical thing, and then after a few days, the unveiling, and the cutting it by hand, like trays of freshly baked cake…Now, this IS magic!
The making of soap has always reminded Anca of the way her grandma in Transylvania made a special Christmas treat known in Romanian as 'cozonac' -- a golden airy-flufy-melt-in-your-mouth sweet bread made with layers of roasted walnuts and rum, or poppy seeds and sugar, or little chunks of Turkish delights -- her recipe passed down from her mother, and her grandmother before that. She, too would stir these big pots, wafting the yummiest aroma, knead the dough by hand for a long, long time, then pour it in vats she covered with blankets for the deliciousness to rise and be baked to perfection. Stu finally got to experience this almost-impossible-to-describe-in- words treat this Christmas, when Anca's mom made it in Germany for our family’s international Christmas, which included Stu's family who had come from Ireland to join in the celebrations!
Anyway, in so many words, we love Camamu Soap, we are grateful to make all these goodies for you, and we are thrilled when you stop in on rainy days (sans umbrellas) and strike up tidbits of conversation with us about the soap (or not about the soap), but always a delightful way to connect briefly, in a world where so much is mass-produced and faceless.
THANK YOU for all your support, and come by often!xo
S & A
and the Camamu Soap studio team
