The loofahs used in the soaps, grow wild off the tender clinging vine - the luffa aegyptiaca - in the lowveld and the Zambezi Valley. They are handpicked by villagers who live in these remote areas, and are delivered to us from as far as 500kms by various modes of transport. The loofahs are then sun dried, peeled, washed, de-seeded and dried again. Hand selection takes place in selecting the correct size loofah to fit the mould. The soap is made using high percentages of natural oils which are poured over each loofah. We wait for the soaps to set and then each is individually removed from the mould and trimmed and polished by hand. The wrapping and packing process takes place by hand. We believe that this is what makes our product so unique - you really have a piece of Africa in your hands. Enjoy our products they are naturally a part of Africa. At present the range consists of: - Loofah Soaps Glycerin Soaps Exotic Bath Soaks Sugar Bath Cubes Endangered Guest Soaps Not forgetting our unique Earthchild Eau de Parfum Which come in six exciting African inspired fragrances - Zambezi Wild Berry - Zambezi Rain Forest - Marula and Jojoba Oil - Baobab and Tea Tree Oil - Rose Oil and Apricot -----soon to be replaced by African Love flower. - Savannah Aloe ++++++++++ Private boarding required for form 3 boy, from Vic Falls, starting Jan.
