Natural Soap: Peppermint Tingle

Handcrafted cold processed soap with avocado oil.  Naturally coloured with infused nettle powder and parsley and scented with peppermint essential oil.

Our Peppermint Tingle soap is made using the very traditional ‘cold process’ method, a way of making soap that has been around for thousands of years and can be initially accredited to the Ancient Babylonians.

In our Peppermint Tingle soap we combine lashings of Extra Virgin Olive oil with cleansing Coconut oil, rich Cocoa butter and nourishing Avocado oil to make a soap with soft, fluffy lather that will cleanse your skin without stripping the natural oils.   In this batch of soap we add refreshing Peppermint Essential Oil, with Nettle and Parsley to give a slightly exfoliating soap perfect to wake you up in the morning shower.

Despite its name, Peppermint Tingle won’t leave you feeling tingly but you may notice a cooling sensation on sensitive and delicate areas. Don’t worry the nettle doesn’t sting, it can actually calm and soothe inflammation, along with giving this soap a lovely natural green, herbal look.

Peppermint Tingle soap is VEGETARIAN friendly

Minimum weight 100g bar, packaged in recyclable and compostable greaseproof paper and recycled card.

Why we have chosen some of our ingredients:

Virgin Avocado oil is one of the few oils extracted from the flesh of the fruit rather than the seed (olive oil is another example). Avocado oil contains vitamins A, B and E, proteins and amino acids, supporting collagen and skin elasticity. Great for those with sensitive or damaged skin, it will help to repair and soften skin, calming inflammation and protecting the skin’s natural barrier function.

Nettle although often seen as a weed and a nuisance to many gardeners, it has many uses for food, medicine and even clothing! In skincare nettles have a natural ability to help calm and soothe inflamed skin, reducing redness.  It contains antioxidants, along with antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and astringent properties.  Perhaps you will look at the humble nettle differently from now on.

Peppermint Essential oil is a refreshing and cooling oil, often used in toothpastes and deodorants for its antiseptic and deodorizing properties. Peppermint oil is also a fabulous decongestant, especially when combined with the steam of a hot shower and will help to banish any morning sleepiness.
