A lovely homage to India

This quality marigold soap is a great accompaniment to our Agra inlay soap dish which we picked up on our travels. A great way to provoke our memories of India on a regular basis

Thank you so much for your review Dan. I'm glad we can bring back special memories with our soaps. Enjoy :)

Marigold: Gende Ka Phool

Marigold is a flowering plant from the Daisy family. It can grow up to 4 feet tall and produces yellow, orange, maroon or red flower petals. Most types of marigold have a spicy aroma but a citrus taste and are often used in salads or cake decoration and are edible too! The Marigold flower is native to South America, but much loved in India for more than 400 years where it goes by the name Gende Ka Phool or Geyn-day-ka-phool or ‘Garlands of flowers’ (which to be fair, sounds way better). 100,000 tonnes of Marigold flowers are exported from Madhya Pradesh, India, every year.

Skin Benefits are plenty

It's all in the science - Marigold is often used in the cosmetic industry for the production of creams and lotions. The benefits for the skin include keeping the skin well moisturised, aiding even skin tone (like patchy skin), slowing premature ageing of the skin (phew!) and reducing inflammation.

Dermatologically tested - All our soaps have been clinically tested in a lab and are dermatologically approved for all skin types including sensitive skin.

We at Saabuni are not medical professionals so we don’t claim that using our products will alleviate pre-existing skin conditions. The skin benefits we outline relate to specific ingredients within the recipe of each soap only.

How to use

How to use - Transport yourself to meadows full of flowers…but before you do that, have a wash with our lush Marigold soap bar. Its' creamy texture lathers up instantly. Simply massage in, cleanse and rinse. Combine with our Terracotta pumice stone to leave your skin feeling silky smooth and refreshed.

Careful Now - If the soap or lather gets into your eyes, rinse immediately with water. The soap is not suitable for use if you have open wounds or cuts. All our soaps have been dermatologically tested, however if you experience any irritation or redness, stop using the soap and seek medical help. Keep out of reach of small children. Please avoid in case of any allergies you are aware of already listed in our ingredients below. Always consult your doctor before using essential oils during pregnancy.

Please note, we use Sweet Almond Oil in our recipes which are not suitable for people with serious nut allergies.

Storage - Store in a cool dry place or a well drained soap dish. For best results use this product within 12 months of opening.
