After years of making soap for her 13 children, her family finally convinced her to open a small soap shop in São Paulo, Brazil where she made soaps with her family for 25 years. Those soap recipes found their way to North Carolina last year when I went back to Brazil for Christmas and asked my grandmother for food recipes to bring back to NC. While looking through boxes of recipes, we came across all her old soap and essential oil recipes.
Here are some of our soaps made from Grandma’s batches.
Brazilian Copaiba with Shea Butter – Brazilian Oil and Leaves Soap
Rainforest Copaiba is known among indigenous tribes for its soothing and calming properties on the skin and against all kind of skin- disorders. Copaíba oil is an oily resin that is extracted from the Amazonian tree. Copaiba is the secret of Brazilians for beautiful young, and healthy skin. Copaiba is an all-natural, gentle ingredient that should be suitable for all skin types.
