Karere io | Solar plexus chakra soap

This handmade cold process soap is a beautiful blend of oils which have been steeped with kawakawa, manuka, and kanuka, as well as the non-native plants of lavender, chamomile, and calendula following tikanga Māori.

Created in alignment to the maramataka with takutaku and aroha, it is imbued with the mauri (life force) of the creator, turawera and totara which channel the solar plexus chakra and its yellow aura.
