An all-vegetable soap containing cucumber, a mild cleansing agent and skin toner, and calendula, high in flavonoids, which accounts for much of its anti-inflammatory activity when treating minor skin abrasions.

Every summer, when local, fresh cucumbers are available, we buy bushels. We peel them and juice them. There is cucumber all over the place as we make gallons of cucumber juice. We add this juice to the soap bar along with the herb calendula. Both ingredients are designed to sooth skin.
