<br />
<br />
Steps to make your own Sanitizer:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Get a sprayer bottle. You can buy a new one or reuse old ones. Best if you keep it at 50mL-100mL so its still handy and can fit your bag.</li>
<li>Clean the sprayer bottle and remove the old labeling.</li>
<li>Fill the sprayer bottle with CDL Naturals Unscented Sanitizer. Leave some space for essential oils and sprayer.</li>
<li>Start dropping essential oils directly to the sprayer. We recommend using 0.5% up to 1% of total volume for the essential oil. For example, for a 50mL Sanitizer, you will need 5-20 drops of essential oils. Remember, less is more.</li>
<li>If your Sanitizer becomes cloudy, these are the possibilities:</li>
<ul>
<li><u>Too much essential oil:</u> you probably put in too much oils. Use lesser oils next time. Don't go too far from the recommended limits.</li>
<li><u>The Essential Oil is too polar:</u> some essential oils can behave differently, and some aren't easily solubilized by alcohol. Sometimes you may need to give it time to clear up. Waiting for a few days will result in clarity. If not, use lesser oils next time.</li>
<li><u>Something's wrong with the oil:</u> We've tried all our oils as well as other brands' oils. They all work with our sanitizer. If the above suggestions don't work, we don't know what else to suggest. </li>
</ul>
</ol>

This month of March, we pay tribute to the many women who've served as inspiration for many people in the appreciation of all things natural. We give our love and admiration to the catalysts for change in our lifestyle, choices, family, society and the environment. We've dedicated the whole month of March to each and every woman trying to make a difference, bringing people around them closer to nature.</div>

We
look up to Dr. Anneth Rigon's love and passion for bamboo and
distinctive local flora. Her research and social initiatives led to our
collaboration on several indigenous plants, essential oils and community
works. An educator by heart with a spirit of an adventurer, being out
on farms or hiking through forests and hills is always fun with her. The
bamboo tea we have in our store is among the products of her work.</div>

Her
name is Balot. She's a working mom of two, an aspiring writer, APAS and
RID warrior, a student of aromatherapy and the woman behind <a href="https://lanalaneph.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lana Lane PH</a>.
We admire her boundless curiosity, vibrant energy and intimate
knowledge of essential oils. She's one of the many who's had real,
life-changing experience by becoming conscious of her health choices and
going natural. Now she's paying it forward and helps many women through
her blogs, writeups and products.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Spontaneous, fun, resourceful and energetic. That's how we describe Jirbie of <a href="https://couchwasabi.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">#couchwasabi</a>.
Start talking about essential oils, natural stuff and beauty products
with her, you will find out what we mean. A student of aromatherapy,
she's been very generous of sharing her knowledge to people on how to
use essential oils in everyday life. Among her favorite is the
Ylang-ylang which she finds very beneficial for women in sooooo many
different applications. Its always fun being in her workshops, never a
dull moment, full of information and lots of ideas.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We
came across Marianne and her husband on our trip to Sorsogon. Around
their place is the rich, volcanic soil in the vicinity of Mt. Bulusan
where lush foliage and tall Pili trees live. She, with the help of
several women in their community, gather Pili fruits for the extraction
of Pili oil. This is a photo of her sorting Pili and the pulp will be
separated from the nuts later on. To them, it is important to get only
the best fruits to yield the best oils which we use on the Manila
Castile soaps and our Pili carrier oil.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In
the early days of Casa de Lorenzo, we got acquainted with Gil Anne.
She's a licensed aromatherapist and among the founders of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/essentialoilsphils" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/essentialoilsphils</a>.
We adore her practicality, no-frills straightforwardness and the
ability to guide fellow moms into the fragrant world of essential oils. A
mom of 3 and a part time tutor, she made an effort to make her home
plastic-free and runs the house in an environmentally conscious manner
down to the small details. May her drive and enthusiasm for all things
natural be inexhaustible for the many years to come.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are blown away by <a href="http://instagram.com/danamarquez" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dana</a>'s
deep appreciation to many things natural. Profound is an understatement
if we'd describe her soulful familiarity with music, crystals, energy
healing and yoga. When she was young, she dreams of having an apothecary
filled with herbs, flowers and oils, which served as inspiration to her
own mixes and infusions. A kindred spirit in the admiration of nature,
we look forward to the things she and many other women do so we all can
appreciate our environment better.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
To many she's <a href="http://instagram.com/theessentialqueen" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">#theessentialqueen</a>,
and we see in Vicky why so. An early adopter of Doterra products, long
before everyone began talking about essential oils, she's been actively
spreading the word of its wellness and health benefits. Full of charm,
vibrance and all that positive energy, we love hanging around with her.
An awesome resource on things to do with essential oils, there's no dull
moment with her highness. Maybe next time, we’ll invite her for tea.</div>

A Chevening scholar taking up her Masters in Sustainable Development at
the UK’s University of Surrey’s Center for Environment and
Sustainability, Jen Horn takes pro-environmental behavior seriously. As the founder, chief collaborator and community-builder of <a href="https://www.muni.com.ph/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">MUNI Community</a>,
she brings people together, with the call of concern for nature and the
environment, and infuse this with the mindfulness in all things we do
in our everyday life. MUNI and its members have been actively creating
conversations to cultivate sincere empathy and responsibility for the
planet we live in, while pushing it further by encouraging everyone to
be participative and engaged citizens geared towards causing change in a
larger scale. This means getting actively involved with matters of
lifestyle, commerce, community and even governance. We are very much
inspired Jen, and we look forward to MUNI connecting with more
Filipinos.</div>

To introduce <a href="http://instagram.com/anagutch/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ana</a>
is both a challenge and an honor. We can run out of words to describe
and space to put what we can say. Charming, inspiring, knowledgeable and
extremely resourceful, she lives and walks the talk. A full time mom,
dedicated wife, and the heart and soul of <a href="http://instagram.com/bodyfoodallnatural/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">#bodyfoodallnatural</a>,
we look up to her with amazement. She combines art, science and nature
into wonderful handmade creations like a master crafter. She is
selective of her methods, meticulous of her ingredients, particular
about her impact to the environment, and intense about what she teaches
in her classes. Students of <a href="http://instagram.com/bfan_makersacademy/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">#bfan_makersacademy</a> swear Teacher Ana set the bar so high, it will be hard to match.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Imelda Sarmiento, fondly called "Ime," is one of the most gracious and
lovable personalities we've met. There is not one person we know who
have poured so much passion and genuine dedication to the environment
like this woman has. Her advocacy, spark awareness and interest to the
Philippines' Native Trees. Working with like-minded individuals and
organizations, she is planting and promoting the almost neglected trees
indigenous to our country. As the lead person for <a href="http://greenconvergencephil.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Green Convergence Philippines</a>
native tree causes, the book Philippine Native Trees 101 was published
and succeeded by 202 and 303. We Filipinos are very blessed, because
people like Imelda are standing up for the preservation of 3,600 native
tree species unknown to most of us. For the men and women who have lived
along with nature, these trees are part of their memories, lifestyle
and identity. Hopefully, we the younger generations, find a sense of
belongingness and nationality with these trees. Filipinos living in the
Philippines filled with Philippine native trees sounds about right,
don't you think?</div>

The <a href="https://www.cdlnaturals.com/Unscented-Olive-Castile-Soap-p88956354" target="_blank">Unscented Olive Castile Soap</a> is made purely from Olive Oil, no added fragrances. It is the least cleansing of all the soaps but is the gentlest, as all pure olive soaps are. The thickest among our line of soaps, when you add your fragrance, this may thicken so just add more water to achieve the desired consistency. Mix with Coconut Unscented Castile Soap for a more bubblier effect.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
To start with, one can mix his or her very own body wash, facial wash or hand wash. Just mix a few drops of CDL Naturals Aromatics (our essential oils) to about 100mL of CDL Naturals Unscented Castile Soap and you got scented soap already! Dilute this with distilled water, it can be used as a facial or hand wash. Hope you won't mind using it thin and watery.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Make massage oils or body oils by putting several drops of essential oils to carrier oils. You can also combine other massage oils to create your very own mix fit for your skin type. Try making facial serum as well by adding essential oils to carrier oils beneficial for facial rejuvenation and applying it during the night.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How about making your very own sanitizer with a smell you created? That's why we're providing an unscented sanitizer base where you can just add essential oils, shake and use.</div>

Recommended Essential Oil Limits:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><b>Soaps:</b> 1-3%. Too much may be too overwhelming. Sometimes you can go as low as 0.5% on many essential oils.</li>
<li><b>Carrier Oils:</b> 0.25%-2%. This concentration is usually enough to achieve desired effects and is already quite fragrant for neutral smelling carrier oils.</li>
<li><b>Sanitizer:</b> 0.25%-1%. Going over this limit may cause cloudiness for most essential oils (Ylang-ylang, Lemongrass, Rosemary, etc.), although some essential oils can be added up to 5% without any issues. Please note as well that some essential oils when blended with our sanitizer base will go a bit cloudy at first, but will clarify after a day or two.</li>

Get to experience the true smell of nature with Casa de Lorenzo's Essential Oils. Our essential oils come from plants and flowers, extracted via distillation or cold pressing. Some are grown and produced here in the Philippines while others are sourced abroad.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the great ways of enjoying essential oils is diffusing them in the air using a ceramic oil burner which we're throwing in for free, if you purchase essential oils worth 1,500 pesos.</div>

For the longest time we've been trying to find the best source of Lavender and Peppermint <a href="http://www.thecasadelorenzo.com/p/aromatics.html" target="_blank">Essential Oils in the Philippines</a>. Really, we didn't want the ones available locally 8 years ago. They're affordable, they smell good, but those are not the ones we're looking for. Almost every Lavender and Peppermint we've taken a whiff at smells narcotic, seems to have a little too much of some fragrance notes, and generally, feels "incomplete."</div>

Back then, who cares about real essential oils? Who would really know what real Lavender Essential Oil or real Peppermint Oil smell like and what difference does it make? Well, we did and we still care enough to keep talking about how different the real ones are.</div>

In the supermarket aisles at the home section or at body care section, there's a lot of products using lavender. There's car freshener, home spray, fabric softener, body wash...the list is seemingly endless. Is it possible they use lavender essential oil? Possibly not. The cost of real lavender essential oil is too expensive to be in mass-produced and mass-priced consumables. So they use fragrance oils, composed by perfumers, "inspired" by real essential oils. This is the reason why not a lot of Filipinos don't know what real lavender smells like. All we're familiar with are the lavender fragrances from fragrance factories. Most of us have never even smelled fresh or dried lavender plants at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So what's the motive behind selling fragrance oils as essential oils? Maybe ignorance or choosing not to know. Maybe there's no real supply and demand. Maybe no one would bother questioning why. And for the longest time, the above-mentioned are probable truths.</div>

So we searched. We've tried a lot. We sniffed, we compared, we studied, and learned so many things along the way. The fact is, in our market today, there are 4 things you can find as essential oils: pure synthetic fragrance oils, fragrance oils mixed with essential oils, modified essential oils, and real essential oils. The synthetic fragrance oils are made by perfumers by mixing fragrant compounds resulting in an essential oil inspired scent. The fragrance oils mixed with essential oils are synthetic fragrances added with true essential oils to "bring the fragrance closer to the real thing." The modified essential oils are true essential oils but diluted with synthetic aromatic compounds so price gets lower. And finally the real essential oils, which came from plant materials with no additives or dilution done.</div>

The best guide to the real essential oils is mother nature herself. Curious to know what real Lavender Essential Oil smells like? Get a leaf from the Lavender plant and crush it with your fingers. Smell it. How about Peppermint? Do the same thing. The scent you smelled in your hands or fingers after crushing the leaves should be the smell of essential oil, although essential oils are more concentrated.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We were lucky to be able to get Lavender and Peppermint plants locally, and none of the so called Lavender and Peppermint Essential Oils in the Philippines passed the test. So instead of relying with the current supply, we set highly specialized arrangements to get the real essential oils. We also know for a fact that these essential oils are quite expensively priced in the world market, so if you're getting Peppermint and Lavender Essential Oils dirt cheap, you're probably getting not the real thing.</div>

The Philippines is the world's major producer of Elemi. From the resin of the <i>Canarium luzonicum</i>, <a href="http://www.thecasadelorenzo.com/2012/04/elemi-essential-oil.html" target="_blank">Elemi essential oil</a> is extracted, and this tree is abundant in the Philippines, particularly in the island of Luzon. For many years, it has been a popular ingredient in a lot of mainstream perfumes and has been regarded highly for its exotic scent and rarity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Called as the "poor man's frankincense," the elemi shares characteristics similar to frankincense and myrrh. The scent of elemi essential oil is fresh, spicy and lemony, perfect as a middle note for perfumes. It is a natural analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic. Used by countless people to help soothe muscles, calm nerves and aid minor respiratory problems but perhaps the biggest claim to fame of elemi essential oil is its contribution to reduction of wrinkles and rejuvenation of skin.</div>

In a book published by the International Genetic Resources Institute written by Dr. Roberto Coronel, the <i>Canarium luzonicum</i> and its relatives are indigenous to the Philippines. Locally called "malapili" because of its Pili-like qualities, the <i>Canarium luzonicum</i> are of low value to farmers before the resin has been discovered to contain desirable properties for extraction of essential oils. This tree bears fruit like Pili, although inferior. Historically, the resin from <i>C. luzonicum</i> is being used as an ingredient in making plasters, oinments, paints, lacquers, varnishes and inks. Forest dwellers use the elemi resin as torches, rolling it in leaves and lighting it up to serve as their fragrant light for the night. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As disclosed by the local farmers of Sorsogon (a province in the Bicol region where a lot of <i>Canarium</i> grows), they only tap the "malapili" trees in the past because they're quite expendable and the extraction of resin eventually kills the tree. In a study published in a Philippine Journal of Science in 1945, among the reasons why the <i>C. luzonicum</i> became the source of elemi is because it gives out sufficient quantities for profitable collection. After collection of the resin from the trees, these are shipped out to Europe for the extraction of Elemi essential oil. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fast-forward to present times, several innovative individuals began to maximize the commercial potentials of the Pili tree (<i>Canarium ovatum</i>). From just producing pili nuts, other products like pulp oil and essential oil has been extracted. Due to good attention of some agriculturists and plant scientists, farmers were able to devise a way to properly "tap" a <i>Canarium</i> tree for resin without killing it. With this advancement in farming technology, the more common pili tree (<i>C. ovatum</i>) became a good source of elemi and with further processing, become elemi essential oil.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

A big part of Casa de Lorenzo Organic Products is essential oils. We see it as a great way to make our soaps alive, in fact, it gives amazing definition and distinction to our castile soaps. Another reason is the long list of benefits it gives to people, among of which are relaxation, lowering stress levels, antibacterial action, and bad odor removal. <a href="http://www.thecasadelorenzo.com/p/aromatics.html" target="_blank">Essential oils</a> also allows us to help local farming communities and patronize their produce. Maybe not just big...its huge for us.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So why are we writing this? We just want people to be aware. Ingesting essential oils is simply dangerous and we're gonna tell you why.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u>High chance of using too much.</u> Because of the highly concentrated nature of essential oils, its always easy to go overboard when ingesting. Keep in mind, to be able to extract essential oils, one would need a lot of plant material. About one to two kilos of plant material can produce only 1mL of EO more or less. Higher concentration of substances means difficulty in administrating small doses. Half drop of EO vs 1 drop is a huge difference.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u>Essential oil tolerance of the body.</u> Drinking citrus fruits, especially the ones prepared at home contains some essential oils in minute amounts. Way less than 1 drop per serving, and its all the body is used to. Imagine ingesting 3 or 5 drops of any citrus essential oil. That is the same as eating the rind of around 1 kilo of citrus fruits. And you know that adverse effects happen when the body takes in anything excessive.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u>Some essential oils can cause irritation.</u> If essential oils can cause irritation on the skin at pure strength, getting a drop or two in your throat or digestive system will ultimately lead to some sort of discomfort.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_sv6CfAkOAgyQV3z8IhKFkvIpxYmWncPOg2aidCC7gzMbuqWRyZFwISpIKCVLYTh5boywMKNu3qb4Itzgtn_jIvRF1UvlCPDOasWi4xX2oRk3ERF5MRLidvPcsjn6niEJmxF6kv8U1pI/s1600/thecasadelorenzo+-+smelling.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_sv6CfAkOAgyQV3z8IhKFkvIpxYmWncPOg2aidCC7gzMbuqWRyZFwISpIKCVLYTh5boywMKNu3qb4Itzgtn_jIvRF1UvlCPDOasWi4xX2oRk3ERF5MRLidvPcsjn6niEJmxF6kv8U1pI/s200/thecasadelorenzo+-+smelling.jpg" width="160" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u>Action of essential oils is different when ingested vs used in aromatherapy.</u> Our digestive system is a wonderful set of organs designed to break down organic components for the body to use. It utilizes self-produced chemicals and mechanical action to do so, and this changes the actual property of any substance drank or eaten. This means the essential oil components are either changed or broken down, and when this happens, the results aren't exactly predictable. Essential oils have a better chance of reaching the bloodstream via inhalation or absorption on the skin and getting its full benefits. Whereas when taken in, we're not sure anymore what gets absorbed in the digestive system. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u>Children and pets are put at risk.</u> It happens all the time. Whatever parents use or consume, some give to their children and pets as well. Small amounts to adults may be tolerable, but for young people and animals, the tolerance may not be the same. It can lead to a long list of serious reactions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u>Not all essential oils are made using food grade equipment.</u> Because essential oils are mostly used on cosmetic and aesthetic purposes, the processing quality and the equipment used in extracting are not exactly food grade. Although bacterial and viral risks are eliminated because generally, all essential oils have a certain degree of antiseptic qualities, ingesting them may expose people to heavy metals and the likes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAsnstH53qvLkLigzGBKyBt0bVmi13qPtdM3uov-y-no9Vdr8gHco8in66loloOLl3qlkC-1e131VUWfyfTHZzgrT0W21Q8IB9kNsWCI4vpuNtvRDR-TU2y0CJazpUpoF-pxeoMQjBmss/s1600/thecasadelorenzo+-+fragrance+oil.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="134" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAsnstH53qvLkLigzGBKyBt0bVmi13qPtdM3uov-y-no9Vdr8gHco8in66loloOLl3qlkC-1e131VUWfyfTHZzgrT0W21Q8IB9kNsWCI4vpuNtvRDR-TU2y0CJazpUpoF-pxeoMQjBmss/s200/thecasadelorenzo+-+fragrance+oil.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u>Not all "essential oils" are pure.</u> Sometimes, that bottle of essential oil you get may have been adulterated and mixed with cheaper aromatic chemicals resembling essential oil components. There's no fool-proof way for a consumer to know if what the labels say are true. Even if one has access to expensive analytical instruments like gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, the results can be so diverse, even the experts can have a hard time proving the purity of an essential oil.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are still persistent about wanting to ingest essential oils, why not try extracting it yourself. Its easy to do for citrus fruits, just press the rind and you can get essential oils there. But for other plant materials, its never easy. Even if you trust the essential oil brand you're buying, we still suggest using the nose or your skin to play on the safe side. Perhaps when there's more study or credible resources that can be used as basis for ingesting essential oils, that's probably the time eating or drinking EO can be seriously considered. Its your choice still, although know that being adventurous has its drawbacks and risks.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Customize and make your own natural soap with Casa de Lorenzo DiY Castile Soap bundle. Mix in anything you’d like to add and have it your way. You can add fruit extracts, green tea, beer, honey or even melted chocolate. Your imagination is the only limit to making your very own soap.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Directions:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Pour Casa de Lorenzo Liquid Castile Soap in a clean bowl (stainless, ceramic, or glass will do).</li>
<li>Put your chosen additives and mix well. Limit your additives from 5-15% of total volume. Example: 90% Liquid Castile Soap and 10% brewed green tea.</li>
<li>If you’re adding fruit juices or extracts you squeezed out yourself, make sure you strain it before mixing. If you’re adding tea, you may brew it first in reduced water before adding (ex: 4 tea bags in 1 cup of water). If you’re adding honey or beer, just mix it in. You may even choose to put tea leaves or herbs directly on to the soap and let it stay for 24-48 hours before straining out the leaves (but a week is better).</li>
<li>Put a few drops of essential oils to scent your soap and mix really well. A mixer or wire whisk can help things go faster. Sometimes essential oils can thicken the soap when added, all you need to do is just add a little water and mix well until you reach the desired consistency.</li>
<li>Once done, put it in a dispenser and start enjoying your soap!</li>
<li>Since what you’d be using are all organic ingredients (they can spoil over time) and we’re not recommending putting preservatives on soaps, make sure you make small batches at a time and use it up for one or two so your soap won’t go bad.</li>
<li>Any questions? Email us at order@thecasadelorenzo.com or give us a call: 0939-919-2916 (Smart) or 0917-608-1219 (Globe). </li>

Something we haven't really done before and something really distinct. Its a tradition we've been doing for the past few years, even before we've started selling soaps. This year, we made bar soaps made of Pili Oil and Passionfruit Seed Oil, along with Coconut and Palm Oils.<br />
<br />
We wanted something very local, but at the same time having an exotic appeal. So we decided its time to use the Passionfruit seed oil we've extracted some time ago and we got ourselves some Pili pulp oil. The result is a very expensive and very exotic bar soap that is cleansing and at the same time very moisturizing.<br />
<br />

<br />
Since the price prohibits us from making a lot, and there's not much source of passionfruit seed oil locally, we've decided its going to our private holiday giveaway. Hopefully, in the near future we can start making soaps with rare oils like the one on the bars we've just made.<br />

Here's a look of how she's doing:<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A month ago, we noticed an increase of leaves turning brown, and this was around the time that Metro Manila was getting more rainfall so we carefully re-potted the plant to a clay pot. It helped a bit, but typhoon Lando came and the noticeable impact of too much water showed. More than 50% of the leaves suddenly began to grow limp and a few days later, they just went brown. We've also tried spraying the plant with foliar, in case the roots are not functioning anymore and it seemed to have helped. A major concern right now is that there has been sporadic rains which may aggravate the case further inspite of a potting medium with very good drainage.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To sum up, here's a few things we've surmised while we're taking care of the plant:</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Lavender is such a sensitive plant. Slight changes affect it a lot.</li>
<li>Protect the roots from too much water. Rain doesn't seem to do the plant much good, especially if it soaks up the area where its roots are. Controlling the water is essential to the plant's survival. Watering every 2 days may work, and using less water is best practice in this case.</li>
<li>Avoid moving the plant constantly. It seemed to hate being moved from one place to another because we're hiding it from the rain. Perhaps a cover during rains may work instead.</li>
<li>Lavender likes the sun. It can survive with partial sun, but if there's a place where it can get full sun, the better. If the plant is just getting partial sun, take it easy on watering a bit further.</li>
<li>Foliar spray may have help the plant if you want to give it a boost of nutrients.</li>
</ol>
<div>
Hopefully, our plant survives this bout and no one accidentally waters it out of schedule. Nevertheless, whatever the outcome of our plant will be, we're already working on preparing for our next batch of lavender plants. We've recently bought lavender seeds and made plans for a mini greenhouse so we can apply what we've learned better.<br />

They tell us a lot of stories about how they themselves or their friends tried making the plant survive here in the country, and ultimately giving up on it. Why try? Because Lavender is such an amazing plant. Aside from the fact that it is one of the most well-known and widely used flower in the world (it surpassed roses a long time ago because of price and availability), real Lavender is but a delight to the senses. And because we dream of being able to grow our own Lavender, we are also trying.<br />
<br />
Any species of Lavender doesn't thrive naturally in the tropics, but they can, as proven by a handful few. Cultivating them here in the country, will definitely be an uphill climb because the odds are bigger than the chances. The plant doesn't like being soaked frequently, loves a cool climate, thrives well under a good amount of sun and a dozen other factors that nags everyone to drop the idea and find other things to grow. But we'd like to try swimming against the current.<br />
<br />
To build our confidence, we bought ourselves a 4 or 6 month old seedling of English Lavender (<i>Lavandula Officinalis</i>) to check our green thumbs. That was 2 months ago. Here she is now:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV1mAc8flc5BnBLZ8UrnbjsC-Ug8_6-gz5RTKFkBSIJ1VwpGTPndkJsrYSM3HpLud7xZ2QtspqmmiSm8ZuCHLiZx5FR5pT4jl5xnLYR8qLxBQTXBPRpbs2W9zPR2nvJCTzPDb2TmgLFPs/s1600/Growing-Lavender-Philippines-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV1mAc8flc5BnBLZ8UrnbjsC-Ug8_6-gz5RTKFkBSIJ1VwpGTPndkJsrYSM3HpLud7xZ2QtspqmmiSm8ZuCHLiZx5FR5pT4jl5xnLYR8qLxBQTXBPRpbs2W9zPR2nvJCTzPDb2TmgLFPs/s320/Growing-Lavender-Philippines-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
People seem to have understood the needs of Lavender because where we bought the seedling, they potted the plant on a high drainage potting medium which the plant seemed to be enjoying. Seeing it grow and mature in the past 60 days has been kind of a roller coaster ride. There are times when the leaves would be uptight and proud, such a happy sight. There are times when its leaves will droop low, and we'd get concerned. But now, she's going good. Her major stem is turning woody, the leaves are proliferating and the shoots are continually appearing. Whenever we pluck the damaged or drying out leaves, crushing it on our fingers releases a delightful fragrance, assuring us its going to be alright.<br />
<br />
So we decided to take it to the next level: growing Lavender from seeds. We tried the English Lavender Munstead variant, and out of the about 200 seeds we planted, about 15 sprouted. However, because of the unpredictable weather in the past weeks and a lot of other factors, it went down to 3 yesterday and as of checking a while ago, one more wilted out. So here's one of the survivors:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnYCrT0nAwq9OQ9oeaLSOSVz0Oi2XRA1xiuJufoHi4MfShgKHRIWIaamx-gaeDgRbHlTTr4h24h6kX98KewTJJ0brDLlkEkz-QpExDLu30xgKEIJqPWnZxaSWACgIwzxm68GA0r8MbCk4/s1600/Growing-Lavender-Philippines-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnYCrT0nAwq9OQ9oeaLSOSVz0Oi2XRA1xiuJufoHi4MfShgKHRIWIaamx-gaeDgRbHlTTr4h24h6kX98KewTJJ0brDLlkEkz-QpExDLu30xgKEIJqPWnZxaSWACgIwzxm68GA0r8MbCk4/s320/Growing-Lavender-Philippines-2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
All of these are just very small trials, as we are dreaming of growing a lot of Lavender locally and getting extracts or essential oils. By the looks of it, seems like we have a long, long way to go in improving the survival success of the plant. If it won't thrive well in a more or less controlled environment, how will it fare on a more hostile environment out in a field? Indeed, it takes a lot of patience, but once flowers will bloom, it will definitely be a statement it was worth all the effort.<br />

</tbody></table>
There's a lot of people looking where to buy castile soaps in the Philippines. And of course, there's a lot of choices and finding what you need won't be a huge challenge. First, one must decide whether its bar or liquid castile soap. Both are "castile soaps" and are natural, but always read the labels of the ingredients to make sure all ingredients are natural and organic in nature.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If the choice is liquid castile soap, look no further because there are a lot of ways to get yourself a bottle without the hassle.</div>

<span id="goog_1217927640"></span><span id="goog_1217927641"></span>We're proud to announce the release of our newest liquid soap variant: the Dark Castile Soaps. As it's name implies, it is darker than the usual soaps we make. One might be shocked at the contents of every Dark Castile Soap bottle because it is literally almost black. But don't be fooled by appearances, .</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first among the variants is the Coffee Dark Castile. For our love of coffee, the way it wakes us up during mornings, and how it makes us jumpstart our day, we thought we'd carry that over in the shower. We've been trying to make this soap happen for more than a year now, and it was just recent that we're satisfied with it so we're now sharing it to everyone.</div>

Our concept of the soap is to be able to help provide support to Filipino farmers and make use of their produce, and coffee is one produce we Filipinos can own up. We have a great coffee history, only to be cut short by plant disease. The Philippines was a major coffee and tobacco player of the world, no wonder why coffee and smoking is deeply ingrained in our culture. With this, we fill our Coffee Dark Castile Soap with Filipino heritage by adding our very own "Kapeng Barako." The glorious smell of coffee every time its used in bathing is just amazing, we've tried it ourselves before we open it up to everyone. It even has coffee scrubs which act as an exfoliant making it a great alternative to foot scrubs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You wouldn't really end up smelling like coffee after using the soap, but since studies show caffeine is absorbed through the skin, you'll probably be more stimulated when you get out of the shower. For coffee lovers out there, we invite you to try this one.<br />

There's no changes in the prices of our locally made castile soaps. As for the essential oils there's been some updates on the pricing. The Philippine Essential Oils are also updated, but bigger volumes will definitely save you a lot.</div>
