The main ingredient is the extra virgin olive oil, extracted from local olive trees that grow all around this area and give the Alentejo its characteristic landscape. To add to the moisturizing characteristics of the olive oil, the organic cold pressed coconut oil provides the cleansing and firming properties and creates a bubbly lather

Peppermint is a medicinal plant it is widely known for its digestive benefits. In aromatherapy is used to promote easy breathing, focus and positivity. Peppermint also gives the soap stimulant and anti-bacterial properties. According to the Greek mythology, Hades’s wife Persephone turned the river’s nymph Minthe into an herbaceous plant after discovering that Hades was in love with her. Since Hades couldn’t reverse the spell, he added a beautiful smell to the newly created plant, making it spread a magnificent odor when people walk across her.

Activated charcoal effectively cleanses the skin, unclogs pores, removes deeper impurities, and dead skin cells. The result is smooth, supple, and even-toned skin.

HOW TO USE

1.Wet the soap bar.
2.Rub the soap in the hands or directly on the body.
3.Always leave the soap on top of a sponge or a soap holder with holes for the water to go through, making sure that it dries well between uses. This is the most important step for the soap to last a longer time. If it doesn’t dry properly, it becomes soft and every time it comes off a lot more quantity than needed.
