Show Foster Kids Some Love This Valentine's Day With These Soaps From Luminance Skincare!

One of my favorite skincare brands, Luminance Skincare (read my review here), is doing something really awesome this Valentine's Day. Not only have they created some beautiful, heart shaped organic soaps for the holiday, but they have partnered with Beyond Emancipation, an organization that helps young adults who've grown up in the foster care system. This Oakland based organization provides a range of supportive programs to help these youths make healthy, successful transitions into adulthood and independent living.

As part of their partnership, Luminance is graciously donating $14 of every sale of these Limited Edition Soap Sets to the organization! Think of how many young people this could help!

As for the soaps themselves, read on to learn more! :-)

First, here are a few facts about the soaps:

100% vegan,
made with 12 plant and seed oils
Hydrating and nourishing to skin
Lathers up extremely well for shaving
Completely non-toxic 
Made without any synthetic ingredients
Non-drying
Hand-made

Can be used to scent lingerie or sock drawers
Limited edition scent available until the end of February

The scent is a delightful combination of spicy ginger and fruity peach and the lather is rich, creamy and deeply moisturizing. I love that it rinses clean, without leaving my skin dry or with that "filmy" soap feeling. This also works great as an alternative to shaving cream, and you don't need to worry about any of the nasty synthetic ingredients most shaving creams contain either! I've been very impressed with everything I have tried from Luminance, and this soap is no exception! I highly recommend it - for both the delicious scent and the hydration benefits it provides to your skin!

Price - $15 (for the 3 soap set)
Ingredients - Purified Water, Oils: Coconut, Palm (Orangutan friendly), Jojoba, Apricot Kernel, Macadamia, Avocado, Palm Kernel, Meadowfoam, Argan, Kukui,Grape Seed and Rice Brand. Clays: White Benonite, French Green & Red Moroccan. Scents: Ginger Peach Essential Oils. To Saponify: Food Grade Sodium Hydroxide*  

* A few words about Sodium Hydroxide: It is not synthetic.  It is the traditional base component that when added to the fatty acids (the seed and fruit skin oils) to create an reaction resulting in cold process soap. The most gentle skin loving variety of soaps. When the formulation is done right, and we do it by hand is small batches, with engineering precision, all of the Sodium Hydroxide reacts with all of the oils, and clays and essential oils into a wonderfully fragrant, perfectly gentle and safe bar of soap.
