Candy Cane Soap

The Candy Cane Face & Body Soap Story This festive soap features a light scrub from dried mint leaves & our signature peppermint essential oil. Lightly scented, each bar emits the refreshing scent of peppermint when used. Our face & body soaps are a soothing balance of water from the Atlantic Ocean & oils that create a rich lather for natural cleansing of face, hands & body. Perfect for sink, tub & shower use, we use them for bathing in nature, too! Features & Benefits Natural product great for folks with scent &/or chemical sensitivities Plastic-free, compostable & recyclable packaging Scented with essential oil, gluten-free, nut-free Handcrafted in small batches with care No latex allergy reactive ingredients Unisex, for all ages & skin types Not tested on animals Septic-safe 25% of Every Bar is Salt Water All year round we go to Port Hillford beach on the pristine Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia to collect sea water in five-gallon buckets. We've learned that crocs are the best thing to wear, as rubber boots simply fill up with water 😊 Once filtred through fine fabric, it makes up 25% of every bar! Why? Salt water makes a harder bar so it lasts longer, salt water is soothing to skin, & most especially it's kind of romantic to use something that connects us to our ancestors who emigrated from the old country 10 generations ago. Ingredients Plain language: Sea water, vegetable shortening (soybean oil, palm oil [sustainably harvested - Info on FAQ page]), coconut oil, olive oil, sodium hydroxide (see note below), peppermint essential oil, peppermint leaves INCI terminology: Aqua, olea europaea fruit oil, cocos nucifera oil, glycine soja oil, elaeis guineensis oil, sodium hydroxide, mentha piperita oil, peppermint leaves, salt Caution: Peppermint essential oil may irritate delicate tissue. Soap Making Note: Sodium hydroxide (commonly referred to as 'lye') is necessary to cause the chemical reaction that makes oil & water become soap. Once the soap is soap, the lye is gone.😊 Please visit our FAQ page for more info about the saponification process. Pack Options Full bar: appx 100 grams* (cured) * While curing water evaporates & weight decreases, though shape remains the same. Fully cured bars are harder, so last longer, provided they dry between uses. Packaging Info Full bar: Recyclable, compostable, zero-waste, plastic-free box How to Use Soap Bars Instructions ~ Use as a Bar Wet bar & lather up on hands, face & body Rinse well Store bar out of water to dry between uses Tip: Place the bar on the bristles of a fingernail brush so the water drains off it. Instructions ~ Use as Foaming Soap Purchase a foaming soap bottle with a pump Cut several slivers of a bar & place in the bottle Fill the bottle with warm water & shake well The soap will soften in the water Pump soap onto wet hands, wash & rinse well 😊 Tip: This is a great way to use up slivers of soap too small to hold. Note: There is a slight possibility the mint leaves could clog the dispensing mechanism, so we suggest rinsing it occasionally with clear water.
