Not only is basil (Thulasi) considered one of the holiest plants in
India, it's reputed to bestow beauty, grace, and happiness on those who
use it. Basil is also a noted skin tonic, and it has powerful
anti-bacterial and acne-fighting properties as well a delightful fresh
scent. Like all Amrita Herbal products, our basil soap is carefully
hand-made using high-quality natural ingredients that have been
prescribed in the texts of Ayurveda, the classical Indian science of
healing. These soaps are made with 100% pure coconut oil base and
contain no animal products. What's more, they are all handcrafted in
India by the nuns in India at Amma’s ashram making sure each is created
with love, devotion, and many mantras… However, be careful not to leave
them in the water- since they are made without animal fats they
dissolve easily. Enjoy.
