Alfalfa Grass

Alfalfa Grass

Alfalfa grass is a common ingredient used in many natural soaps and skin care products. Sometimes called lucerne, alfalfa has been used for centuries as a nourishing herb and is packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that are fantastic for the skin.

The Benefits of Alfalfa for Skin

Alfalfa contains a number of key nutrients and compounds that make it an effective addition to natural skincare products like our handmade soaps.

Vitamins A, E and K

Alfalfa is high in antioxidants, including vitamins A, E and K. These vitamins can help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and environmental stressors like UV exposure and pollution. Using alfalfa soap regularly may boost the antioxidant capacity of your skin.

Vitamin E is especially nourishing - it penetrates deep into the skin’s layers to rejuvenate, soften and strengthen. Soap with alfalfa can leave your skin feeling silky smooth. The vitamin K in alfalfa also helps reduce inflammation and irritation.

Amino Acids

Alfalfa contains high levels of amino acids like lysine and methionine. Amino acids are the “building blocks” of the proteins that make up our skin, hair and nails. Washing with alfalfa soap provides protein-rich nourishment for stronger, healthier-looking skin.

Minerals

Soap made with alfalfa powder is abundant in skin-loving minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium and zinc. Minerals play an essential role in many of the biological processes of our skin cells. They keep the skin balanced and help maintain its protective barrier.

Saponins

Alfalfa contains natural plant compounds called saponins that work up into a lush lather when blended into soap. Saponins gently cleanse the skin’s surface without stripping essential natural oils. Enjoy a satisfying foamy soap experience that leaves skin clean, soft and moisturised.
