Cleansing Powder:

Why Elder Blossom

Elder (sambucus nigra) grows predominately in the Northern Hemisphere. The pleasantly fragrant blossoms are used for many culinary purposes (from teas, syrups & cordials to a batter-frittered crunchy treat), but elder blossoms also offer benefits with topical use. The natural content of mucilage makes elder a great choice for a gentle, yet effective skin cleanser.

Elder has a history of use that stretches as far back as ancient Egypt - both the blossom and the berries. Elder blossom has been a traditional ingredient in poultices for rash and irritation. An infusion of the blossoms was also recommended as a rinse for irritated scalp.

Elder blossom has a naturally delicate fragrance that is a little reminiscent of chamomile.

Making Your Own Elder Blossom Cleansing Gel

Depending on how long you let the packet infuse (from 5 - 15 minutes), your cleansing gel will be a deeper or lighter color. The photos above show the color variation from a short (5 min) to longer (15 min) infusion. The included instructions go through every step in detail so you can make the gel to your personal preference.
