EMU SOAPS

*All my emu soaps are exclusively formulated for Venus and Mars by Venus&Mars' licensed formulator.*

Have you heard about EMU oil?
Emu oil is an oil made from the refined fat of the Emu, a bird native to Australia. It has been used for a thousand of years for the treatment of burns, wounds and bruises. It has also been used as a pain reliever for bone, muscle and joint orders. It is used to soften the skin while making it 2.5 times thicker and stronger, (thus reducing fine lines and wrinkles!) and is frequently found in ointments for dry cracked heels. It is considered to be the "it" ingredient in beauty products, such as natural analgesics, non-surgical facelifts and wrinkle removers because it is the only natural oil that penetrates the skin the fastest.

Emu oil has has been shown in studies to aid in reducing scar formation in healed burn wounds, muscle sprains and arthritis due to its strong anti-inflammatory properties. It is also known to lighten the skin's appearance.

Venus&Mars' little secret: Many users of Venus&Mars' emu soaps say they stopped applying deo since they started using the bars. Well, based from my experience too! So add me to the list. :) My personal tip, apply it and leave it on for a couple of minutes before rinsing it off.

Note: We get our Emu oil straight from the United States.

VENUS&MARS EMU SOAPS
Venus&Mars soaps make each and every part of the body soft enough to kiss. :)

These bars are made with 25% more emu oil than the US Emu Soap, so if you tried the US emu soap before, you surely can’t miss this and discover for yourself the benefits they have especially when combined with other essential oils.

Make sure you only use soaps with great ingredients down to the base oils.

COMMON INGREDIENTS OF ALL THREE SOAPS:
BASE OILS: Emu oil, goat's milk, olive oil, beeswax, tea tree essential oils
(Imagine all the goodness of Emu oil with these four fine essential ingredients!)


"Tea tree oil is an excellent natural antiseptic for skin infections. It penetrates immediately to the skin and mixes with body oils to treat various skin conditions such as acne, insect bites, cuts, burns, infected wounds, bruises, boils, scabies, diaper rash, prickly heat, sunburn and many more. Studies have shown that the simplest method to treat acne prone skin is to wash the face with soaps containing tea tree mixed with superb essential oils. Goat's milk has a PH level similar to our skin, which helps protect the skin from invading bacteria and chemicals we come in contact everyday. This is highly recommended to people who has various skin allergies, eczema and dry skin for it rejuvenates and soothes the skin while moisturizing it. Olive oil has become very popular in the skin care industry. It was discovered 5000 years ago and the Egyptians, Romans and Greeks took full advantage of this priceless oil. It is known to maintain elasticity of the skin and protect it from harmful and age-accelerating free radicals while keeping it moisturized. Beeswax is known to nourish and soothe the skin. Trace amounts of vitamins and minerals are also found in it. It forms a light barrier on the skin that prevents the loss of moisture from dehydrated skin and helps seal in the moisturizing oils without clogging the pores."


Minty Geranium Mud a.k.a. the Whitening & Shaving Mud Soap
120g bar costs Php180




What better way to get rid of the irritating thick strands from our bod than to use an all-organic, ingrown-hair-healing and whitening soap in our regular routine? Minty Geranium Mud bar is especially formulated for those who constantly worry about growing hairs on their legs and face even after only a day of shaving. These days, depilation creams are too expensive and even harsh on our skin. No matter how much they advertise these creams to have moisturizing ingredients, they couldn't deny the big concentration of chemicals they use in manufacturing their products. Don't you think this is alarming?

Minty Geranium Mud bar is filled with only the best ingredients (citrus oils, peppermint, dead sea mud, geranium and papain) to give your skin silky smoothness and at the same time the perfect nourishment it requires. This soap has a very rich lather and feels very fresh and minty on the skin because of its peppermint and citrus oil content. It also has a very citrus yet mild scent that's so refreshing you'd never want your bathroom without this soap. Minty Geranium Mud! Just say hello to a silkier smooth, healthier, fresher and fairer skin!

NOTE: This may be used in every bath - even without the frizzy hairs! But do not use this bar as your everyday facial wash if you are distracted by its mildly cool, minty feel. :)

"Citrus oil is extracted from Lemon Peels and Orange Peels. It stimulates the microcirculation of the skin. It is effective for cellulite, wrinkles and dull skin. Citrus Oil is also a refreshing cleanser, purifier and a potent antiseptic agent. When applied to the skin, it combats bacteria and infections and promotes healthy scar tissue. It is known to have anti-rheumatic and immunostimulating properties. It's an excellent toner and tonic for oily skin and hair. Peppermint leaves a cooling and soothing sensation on the skinand produces a bitter sweet, herbaceous and powerful aroma you'll surely love. The miracle of the dead sea mud is an interesting wonder. It is known to be very effective in calming troubled and irritated skin and they are often prescribed to treat conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, dandruff, and dry, itchy skin. All skin types will benefit from their softening, conditioning effect. The dead sea mud we use in our soap is not powder. It is the nourishing Dead Sea Mud from the Dead Sea itself imported from Israel. Geranium essential oils are known to be a great astringent, clear oily complexions, get rid of acne and relieve sluggish skin. Papain has been used for many skin conditions. Its ability to break down inactive proteins is used to remove dead tissue from burns, to help skin injuries heal, to relieve psoriasis, to remove warts, and to treat ringworm. Cold sores caused by Herpes simplex virus have been treated successfully with both oral and topical papain-containing products. In laboratory studies, topical application of papain has also shown some antibacterial properties, which may be due to papain's interference with an enzyme made by certain bacteria. And of course, it is a very popular skin whitening extract. We can never go wrong with this. :)"

I love this soap because unfortunately, I wasn't blessed with inactive hair follicles. They just keep on growing, literally! Being the really busy person that I am, it is so much of a hassle for me to spend (and spend) so much time in the shower just to get rid of the hair without getting all the nicks and cuts! With this soap, I tell you, worries are gone! You'll really see dead skin off your legs. :) You can remove the hair a lot more quickly too and the strands will stick to the blades because of the wonderful oils. In any case where accidents still come in, healing comes quickly because of the imported emu oil! Pesky scars are gone! Blades will also be protected from the water because the foam and oil coat them. Get this soap and save a lot more (money, time, and who knows, your love life too! ;p) while getting only fairer and smoother skin!

What more is great about it? May also be used as your everyday whitening soap!
