Della Terra Roman Bath Clay Soak / Milk & Honey Bath Soak *LUPERCALIA COLLECTION*

Before soaps were created, Ancient Romans utilized various raw materials of the land for washing & perfuming the body. Often a mixture of clay & oils was applied with a flat curved tool called a strigil. This was a process, everything from the sourcing of materials, to the mixing of them, to the actual application. By doing this, it showed great devotion to the gods they honored, resulting in a tether of scent between them. The most common raw materials used for oils/ointments were roses, pomegranates, lavender, quinces, grapes, rosemary, basil, bay laurel, myrtle, & olive trees. The most precious raw materials often acquired only by the rich were cinnamon & myrrh.
