Gano (Shining) Derma (Skin)

This soap recipe was inspired by the beautiful, varnished upper “skin” of Reishi when it fruits. We infused our homegrown Reishi (Ganoderma sessile) in organic extra virgin olive oil to capture some of Reishi’s fat-soluble terpenes, which have been found to reduce histamine reactions on skin. We added the ground up Reishi back into the final soap to add some pleasant exfoliation. This one is now the go-to soap at our house for hair and sensitive skin. We love the way it feels & smells and we hope you do too!
