Alaskan Alchemy with Chaga

Alchemy: Taking something common or mundane and turning it into something immensely valuable. We stumbled onto something I normally wouldn't look at twice, and then discovered the value of this weird appearing fungus after it's been turned into things like soap and skin care products. If you don't know about it already, I'm talking about...
 
Chaga! If you don't know already about the scientifically backed benefits of chaga, stop for just a minute and look that stuff up. It's good for the inside of us and good for the outside as well.
 
Alchemy begins with harvesting chaga from birch trees during Alaskan winters. Our chaga has been dual extracted with first 151 grain alcohol and then a water reduction over a period of three days. After the liquid was poured off the resulting spent chaga grounds were turned into an extremely strong tea which was used to replace the water in this soap recipe. The soap's light tan color is strictly from the tea. Loaded with wonderful skin benefits, chaga soothes and moisturizes dry and damaged skin and hair. Alchemy is exceptionally gentle.
