Description

Jewelweed Bar Soap – A Natural Ally for Irritated Skin

When nature gives you poison ivy, reach for a bar of Jewelweed Bar Soap from The Michigan Soap Co-op. Formulated to soothe and support sensitive skin, this bar is your first line of defense against the discomfort of outdoor life—without compromising on purity or ethics.

What Is Jewelweed and Why Does It Matter?

Jewelweed (Impatiens capensis) is a native plant long used in traditional herbal medicine for its ability to relieve itching, inflammation, and minor skin irritations. Often found growing alongside poison ivy, it’s nature’s answer to the rashes caused by it. Jewelweed contains lawsone and saponins, compounds believed to have anti-inflammatory and antifungal effects.

We wildcraft our jewelweed locally and infuse it into our oils during the soap-making process to preserve its natural properties.
