At The Candle Tree, we have a large selection of naturally scented French soaps. As the autumn season changes to winter naturally we turn to the comfort and warmth of aromatic spices and scents. Popular choices are cinnamon, vanilla, orange and honey. The soaps are also infused with shea butter to help soften and moisturise your skin, great for this time of year. Shea butter is used to keep skin in good condition and is particularly useful for applying to sensitive, damaged skin or skin that is dehydrated, promoting hydration and skin elasticity. BIO Shea Butter creates a rich and creamy lather leaving your skin soft and moisturised. As well as being deeply moisturising, the rich shea butter forms a protective layer to defend skin from environmental damage. Overall, shea butter is a wonderful ingredient to form the basis of these naturally scented soaps.

Cinnamon and orange are two are perfect seasonal partners, together they evoke a truly festive scent. Cinnamon, with its richly evocative spicy fragrance is perfectly complimented and enhanced by the zingy aroma of oranges. For centuries we have decorated our homes at Christmas with these two delightful gifts from nature and we have studded tangerines with cloves and tied ribbons around cinnamon sticks. Orange and cinnamon combined bring warmth and a touch of seasonal joy during the cold winter months. The natural orange and cinnamon scent is both uplifting, woody and aromatic, it both exfoliates and tightens pores to improve your skin’s overall texture. Along with its gentle exfoliation, the soap is infused with shea butter to help soften and moisturise your skin, leaving you with a natural glow. Savon de Marseille Cinnamon and Orange soap is fabulous stocking filler. It is also a lovely treat to use during the winter months to evoke the festive spirit and bring aromatic warmth and seasonal joy into your bathroom routine!

Vanilla is a welcome, sweet comforting scent this time of year and can lift mood and promote a relaxed state of mind. Vanilla is often combined within beauty products to enhance the fragrance and the appeal of the product. Vanilla extract also contains specific antioxidants that are vital in anti-aging skin benefits. This makes it an ideal addition to your daily cleansing soap. This traditional Provencal soap looks and smells superb in a contemporary or traditional bathroom setting. This Savon de Marseille soap is enriched with Vanilla giving this soap warm, sweet and musky notes making you feel comforted and cosy. Savon de Marseille is still hand crafted in Marseille, just as it has been for hundreds of years. It takes two weeks to make Savon de Marseille. The delicate mixture of olive oil, alkaline ash from sea plants and Mediterranean Sea salted water are heated for ten days in antique cauldrons.

Savon de Marseille Honey soap is a rich golden soap that contains a liquid gold honey harvest of Provence.  It has a warm and comforting aroma as well as many skin enhancing benefits. The addition of the Honey and Shea Butter in this French soap makes this a really gentle soap for your skin. Honey is naturally antibacterial, so it’s great for acne treatment and problem skin prevention. Honey is anti-aging, it is full of antioxidants, and gives your complexion a boost. Overall, combined with shea butter, this honey soap is extremely moisturising and soothing, and so it helps create a healthy glow. Honey is also great for pores, it is clarifying because it opens up pores making them easier to unclog during cleansing. A lovely comforting scent for this time of year, it makes a thoughtful festive gift and lovely skin treat during the harsh winter environments.
