myrrh handmade glycerin soapProbably one of the quintessential fragrances of Christmas is myrrh. Known by many as one of the gifts provided by the three wise men to at the birth of Jesus, the use of myrrh dates back much further. As far back as 3000 BC, the ancient Egyptians used myrrh resin for embalming their dead, as an antiseptic treatment and for burning during religious ceremonies. What many don’t realize is that, of the gifts provided, myrrh was recognized as the most highly valued, even more so than frankincense and gold!

Today, myrrh is a popular fragrance that is added to incense, soaps, candles and massage oils. With its sultry and seductive vanilla undertones, myrrh is popular with both men and women alike. It is known to help relieve feelings of stress and apathy, or of being stuck in a rut. The lingering scent is of great benefit both emotionally and spiritually. Combined with our all natural vegetable glycerin soap, this is a great way to lather away all your cares and concerns.

The whimsical design of our myrrh glycerin soap brings to mind ribbons and celebrations, making it an ideal addition to your Christmas bathroom. Guests will love the scent that fills your rooms, helping to make what can be a stressful time a lot more relaxing.

This soap is a great gift idea for the holidays. Add it to the stockings of your loved ones, so the lovely fragrance will fill the room even before the gifts are opened. Family and friends will always want to stay with you, if you include it with their linens on arrival.  With the quality of the scent and look of our myrrh handmade glycerin soap, you will be hard pressed to find someone who doesn’t love it!

While many of us pay close attention to what we put in our bodies, we are not as vigilent about what we are using on it. Our skin is the biggest organ of our body, and although it provides a protective barrier to the outside environment, what we use on our skin can both damage it and also be absorbed into our systems.

Say NO to petroleum based soap

Many soaps are petroleum based, which can clog the pores in your skin. Coupled with the many chemicals added to the soap for color and fragrance, the natural moisture of your skin can be depleted. As the moisture is removed, the ability of your skin to renew itself decreases, which in turn can lead to further skin damage and premature aging. This doesn’t just apply to the skin of your face, but to that of your whole body.

Choose Glycerin soap

With all natural soaps, you know exactly what is being used to create the soap. handcrafted soap from MagicSenses.comInstead of a petroleum base, nourishing oils or glycerin make soaps moisturising and help your skin renew and replenish itself. Glycerin is actually a by-product of the soap making process, yet many producers actually remove it to use in their creams and lotions. By using glycerin to make soap, moisture will be attracted to and trapped in your skin, making it look smoother and healthier and feeling softer to the touch.

Oils

The addition of natural oils can have many benefits, besides just providing an attractive fragrance. Oils from nuts such as almonds and shea are excellent for dry and sensitive skin, as they soften and protect the skin. Eucalyptus and tea tree oil have many medicinal benefits including being anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiseptic. These types of oil are great for problem skin types. Lavender can actually calm the nervous system and help with insomnia. All of these examples are naturally occurring and can easily be used to create soap, instead of using a chemical alternative.

So, before you go out and buy your next bar of soap … isn’t it worth considering purchasing an all natural one instead? Your whole body will thank you for it.

mountain rain glycerin soap

Mountain Rain Glycerin Soap

I am happy to introduce one of our latest additions to the Glycerin Soap Collections. It is called “Mountain Rain” and is very refreshing with a “green feel” to it. You would never guess but it has light flower notes of Gardenia and Lavender, with refreshing citrus notes of Mandarin and Lemon plus a touch of Patchouli and Vanilla. This is the type of fragrance that you would smell again and again and never want to let go.

The design is very simple but beautiful at the same time: blue and green “rain drops” falling down in a white bar.

You can purchase it online at MagicSenses.com for $6.75.

Check this out: Magic Senses has been reviewed on Grammy Janet’s Place! Here is an excerpt:

Photobucket “I unwrapped the pretty Cheerful Butterfly Soap and it felt so soft. Removing the covering released the full potential of the beautiful Plumeria scent and I was drawn into reverie of happy flitting Butterflies and warm sunshine! I could not wait to try this soap out and display it near my bathroom sink. Washing my hands with the Cheerful Butterfly soap created a soft, silky scented lather. My hands felt very soft after rinsing. I love this soap!”

We are excited to announce that Magic Senses has been featured on SheScribes.com! Here are a few paragraphs from their review:

She ScribesI’ve added a bit of spring time to our bathroom. I’ve added a Cheerful Butterfly glycerin soap from Magic Senses in our shower. It’s almost too cute to use! I don’t know how they did it but the wings are really swirls of other soaps. It’s like they took a beautiful lavender soap and a lovely pink soap, shaved off some pieces, curled them and then added them to the butterflies wings. Even the body of the butterfly is made from a creamy yellow soap. They are all held together with a clear glycerin soap. It’s scented with Pulmeria and it smells SO GOOD!

As silly as it might sound having the Cheerful Butterfly soap in the tub makes me feel happy. I guess that is why it’s called the Cheerful Butterfly. I guess it’s the pretty colors and lovely scent that makes me feel that way.

I LOVE the soaps from Magic Senses! They are so funky looking. I love how they take different colored soaps and twist them and do unusual things to them to create colorful works of ART.”
