Lilacs have always been my favorite flower for their amazing scent alone. Their sweet floral smell is a stress reliever, but you’ll probably be surprised to see just how many medicinal properties these very beautiful, very short-lived flowers also have.
Lilac flowers contain Vitamins A and C which help boost your immune system, and have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties as well. They can also give respiratory relief, and can help sooth and calm anxiety, making it a wonderful stress-relieving agent.
This year the soaps will be made with coconut milk and a small layer of vegetable glycerin, calendula and rosehip oils, and fresh New Hampshire Lilac petals (which also happens to be the official NH state flower). They will be available in a 4oz soap for $12 or a 5oz body bar for $15.
I harvest the lilacs when they are just opening and in full bloom, and make the soaps immediately, preserving as much of the medicinal properties as possible. I am at the mercy of Gaia and the weather, but I usually have these ready for shipping and pick up in the 3rd week of May. The pre-order page will be available until the day before I harvest. Once it is removed, ordering for the yearly batch will be closed.
I will only be making enough soaps for my pre-orders this year, and will not have extras after the season. To place your order, click the link below to pick your size and get your deposit in. I can also customize a blend for you too, as long as we get your order in before harvest day, which is approximately the 2nd-3rd week of May.

I hope you are all taking care of yourselves, and each other.
Til next time,
Blessed be and rock on!
