Ceanothus Flower Soap-Scrub

Ceanothus spinosus — Greenbark / Redheart • single-ingredient, waterless cleanser • wild-grown & sustainably harvested on our private ranch (no pesticides or fertilizer)

Pure bloom → soft foam. Finely milled Greenbark Ceanothus flowers lather with a few drops of water (natural saponins) and give a feather-light exfoliating polish—no added surfactants or fragrance. A tradition noted in California ethnobotany: blossoms that foam when rubbed with water.

Why you'll love it

  • Clean formula: one ingredient; fragrance-free, essential-oil-free.
  • Built-in suds: gentle foam from flower saponins—no SLS/SLES or PEGs.
  • Feather-light exfoliation: smooth feel with a visibly refined look to skin.
  • Waterless control: you set dilution & pressure to protect the acid mantle.
  • Planet-friendly: microplastic-free; small-batch, low-impact harvests.

How to use

  1. Place ½–1 tsp powder in palm.
  2. Add a few drops of water; let it soak/bloom 10–20s.
  3. Rub hands together with a light touch until a soft foam forms; rinse well. Use 1–3×/week.

Safety & Cautions

  • Please be advised to keep essential oils out of reach of pets and children.
  • Please avoid using photosensitive essential oils (Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit, Orange, Bergamot, Tangerine, Calm Shen Blend and any products made with these oils such as Santa Barbara Goldenbush Lotion) prior to going out in the sun or using a tanning booth as they can react to sunlight and cause something similar to a severe sunburn.
  • It is advised to void continuous long term use of the same essential oils.
  • Be sure to research the powerful effects of essential oils before use.
  • Use diluted essential oils on the skin (Carrier oils like Jojoba are great for this in a 10% essential oil to 90% carrier base oil ratio).
  • It is advised to patch test on a small portion of sensitive skin and discontinue if there is irritation or a negative reaction.
  • Please know the safety data and specific warnings on an individual oil or Blend before using.
  • And please use careful caution using essential oils during pregnancy. Any use should be approved by a medical provider.
  • Its important to keep essential oils away from your eyes. If oil does get in your eye, do not flush it out with water. You can dilute the area immediately with vegetable or carrier oil by placing the vegetable oil on a tissue and gently wiping the eye area.
  • Also essential oils are flammable so please avoid direct contact with flames such as candles.
  • Please do not use essential oils internally unless properly trained and prescribed by a physician. If accidentally swallowed, call the Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) immediately and do not induce vomiting.
