Is it the calendula petals? The shea butter? The bright, fresh, herbal and citrus scent? I dunno. I only know you love it. "Chaya" means "life" in Hebrew and "Chaya's Hope" was named in the depths of a rough winter, when the long, deep freeze made us all hope for life's renewal. To celebrate spring, I made a bright, lively soap featuring shea butter and calendula petals. Citrus, spearmint and floral essential oils give it an energizing fragrance.
