Being an elf is definetly a hard work. After a long day of helping Santa Clause with preparing and delivering gifts, a luxurious bath is definitely well-deserved. The regular bar soap from the store is not always good because it is filled with nasty chemicals I can’t even pronounce. I have this rule that when you can’t say it, it is probably bad for you.
Thank heavens I came across this simple and easy shea butter soap recipe with essential oils that Santa’s elves will surely love!
