Cassia Spice

Another soap I have not made for YEARS. I consider this to be a winter holiday soap, one of my few seasonal creations.

Cassia (Cassia (Cinnamomum aromaticum, synonym C. cassia) is an evergreen tree native to southern China, Bangladesh, India, and Vietnam. Like its close relative, cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum, also known as "true cinnamon" or "Ceylon cinnamon"), it is used primarily for its aromatic bark, which is used as a spice, often under the culinary name of "cinnamon". The buds are also used as a spice, especially in India, and were once used by the ancient Romans.)

mixed with Ginger and Sweet Orange. All essential oils put together with ground cinnamon for a homey yet slightly exotic treat. A favorite of many but some people are sensitive to cinnamon so if you have skin irritant issues its best to avoid this one.
