| Monastery Soap is great for your skin and is handmade using traditional soapmaking methods. The monks make bar soap using the "cold process" method, combining olive oil, lye, fragrances and botanicals (that you can actually see!). The soap is poured into handmade molds, cut, cured for 4 weeks, then labeled by hand. The liquid soap is made in the same fashion, baked for three hours, then bottled and labeled by hand.

 | Red Sandalwood
Red Sandalwood is contributes the unique color to this soap. Orange to
start with, it mutates to various shades from maroon to purplish gray in
the process of soap-making. It is believed to have many healing
properties. Historically it was used in helping to heal wounds or
bruises. It also has antiseptic properties. Gifts of Red Sandalwood or
Red Sanders were given by Queen Sheba to King Solomon in ancient times.
Although the wood that gives the color is not a true sandalwood in the
sense of the fragrant wood and incense, we have remedied that by
scenting it with a sandalwood fragrance oil.
