Golda Hiba Wood & Lemon Grass Sphere Soap

Studio Cue is a peaceful, holistic studio retreat in Topanga Canyon, Los Angeles, where Tsugu Wada creates hand-printed photos and functional art, and Keiko Matsuo practices Japanese qi (chi) therapy. An example of the studio’s philosophy of combining diverse cultural materials and environments is seen in the array of products made with the aromatic oil from Japanese hiba wood. This durable and attractive wood is from the Aomori hiba, a tree in the cypress family that is often planted around temples and used to make furniture and utensils. In this fine soap the woodsy fragrance of hiba oil is carefully blended with lemon grass. Ingredients: Saponified oils of coconut, palm, olive, and safflower, glycerine, water, sodium hydroxide, jojoba oil, avocado oil, hiba wood oil, lemongrass oil, mica, sorbitol, sorbitan oleate. 4.4 oz.
