Sweet Basil Soap Bar

Ingredients: 

• saponified sunflower oil, saponified palm kernel oil, organic beeswax, sweet basil oil, moringa leaf powder, distilled water

Handmade in Zambia!

     Somewhere behind every incredible ingredient are people. Their passion, heart and sweat lie at the root. For Zambeezi, it’s the Zambian beekeepers, essential oil farmers, and young entrepreneurs. Their personal investment into the ingredients is what truly creates the wonderful nourishment of their soap bars. 

     It doesn’t just stop there though, the place is important as well. You can’t find organic honey and beeswax just anywhere. To be considered organic, a hive must have a 3-mile radius around them which is pesticide free. Three miles is quite a lot though, because a circle with a 3-mile radius has a 19-mile circumference and will sit within 28 square miles. The North-Western province of Zambia provides a pure, pristine, unadulterated landscape for bees to forage. Set in the context of the one of the largest swaths of pristine sub-tropical forest in Africa, hives are able to thrive in this region.

     It’s not just the bees that benefit from this lush environment though. The farming of lemongrass, rosemary, sweet basil, tea tree, sunflower and mungongo oil all reap the reward of such fertile soil. 

     From the people to the land, the products begin with who and where the ingredients come from. This is the foundation of Zambeezi's recipe and the result…well, as you well know, it speaks for itself.
