Description

(Organic, all-natural, homemade handcrafted soap using shea butter and coconut oil, colored using Kolourscope Dyes - FDA approved, oil-based soap colorants in a base of sunflower oil and vitamin E. These bars create a quick, sweet-smelling lather that's gentle enough for normal-to-sensitive skin.)



The decal on this soap is crafted after the image of Guanyin, a Goddess who transitioned from mortal-assigned-male, to divine woman, after reaching transcendence. She's considered one of the oldest deities to exist today, and shares the fame and prestige as other invoked gods such as the Virgin Mary. Her image thrives all over Asia, and she's been worshipped as a trans woman, a non-binary/genderless individual, and beyond!



Guanyin is a loving, parent-like figure who encourages mercy and protection. Each soap is made with the dedicated and protection of our loving trans goddess! Guanyin loves you and knows that you are beautiful, and that your gender should be celebrated!



Chose between these five scents;

Trans Woman scent 'Longnü' (Strawberry, Lemon, Lilac, Freesia, Patchouli,)

Trans Man scent 'Iphis' (Rosemary, Buttermilk, Frankincense, Choya Loban)

Nonbinary scent 'Balathang' (Tea Tree, Pink Grapefruit, Orange, Lemon, Ylang Ylang)

Genderqueer scent 'Loki' (Fir Needle, Gardenia, Honeysuckle, Sweet Pea, Juniper Berry)

Agender scent 'Mwari' (Orange, Bamboo, Lavender, Fir Needle)



"Longnü" (named after a famous acolyte of Gunayin/Avalokiteśvara/Kannon) is an essential oil mix built to be both protective and accompanying. Patchouli is a powerful oil that wards off insects, fevers, and other invaders, while also stimulating the conscious mind and easing depression and anxiety. Lemon stimulates both white blood cells and neural pathways. Strawberry fruit oil provides a traditional charm for love and companionship, and Freesia a light sweetness that accompanies the fruit.



"Iphis" (named after the character from Ovid's Metamorphoses whom the god Isis helped with his transition) is primarily focused on mental wellbeing. Frankincense is a powerful and ancient oil used to calm the mind and emotions, ridding of nervous energy and providing mental refocus. Rosemary oil is used to reduce cortisol (a stress hormone), and calm down a 'fight-or-flight' response. Choya Loban gives the mix a distinct, leathery scent, while Buttermilk creates a warm base note.



"Balathang" (named after the Filipino Tagalong deity Bathala/Bathalang Maylicha) is a medicinal mix dedicated for the physical wellbeing. Tea Tree oil is a universal panacea that treats skin, the digestive system, human immunity, and more. Grapefruit, Lemon, and Orange oil also provides many health benefits, including powerful endocrinal stimulation, improving hormonal production and body metabolism. Ylang Ylang will provide antiseptic and hypotensive properties for the blood, and also strengthen the nervous system.



"Loki" (named after the Norse god, famous for his ability to change form and identity) is a formula built for fighting infections, invaders, and other concerns to the body. Pine and Juniper oil are both famous for their topical affects on the skin, and have a history of being used to treat cuts and scrapes, bruises and aches, fleas and parasites. Honeysuckle, Sweet Pea, and Gardenia contain powerful anti-oxidants that tackle acids and free-radicals.



"Mwari" (named after Mwari/Inkhosi, Supreme Creator of the Shona, who is specified to not have a gender) is a very calming and sedative mix, designed to aid in reducing anxiety and nervous energy. Both Orange and Lavender are amongst the most powerful and most-used sedatives in aromatherapy, known to reduce stress levels. The Bamboo oil further calms anxiety by focusing specifically on the inner energy of your body, while the Fir Needle oil reduces adrenal fatigue.
