One of my favourite natural scents is Water Mint. Water Mint grows in damp ground and wet places where you would normally wear wellies. This season Water Mint was ethically harvested on the shores of Lough Ennell, Mullingar; a place that was an inspiration for Jonathan Swift's most famous book Gulliver’s Travels.
This soap, formulated with a triple-minty blend of essential oils and made with INFUSED wildcrafted Irish Water Mint and Woodland Nettle, provides many benefits to your skin that go beyond its aroma.

WATER MINT
Water Mint was one of the herbs held sacred by the Druids in Ireland in the distant past. Like other mints, it offers a myriad of benefits and should be included in your skincare routine.
The cooling effect and the strong anti-inflammatory properties help to soothe and calm itchy and irritated skin. Mint has strong anti-bacterial properties and contains salicylic acid – both of which effectively prevent Acne. As a natural mild astringent, mint has the potential to keep your pores from clogging up and fade acne scars leaving you with a clearer and smoother complexion. It also locks moisture by tightening your pores, and stimulates blood circulation, ensuring that your skin is well-hydrated and nourished hence slowing down the ageing process and delaying the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. It acts as a local anaesthetic, relieving muscular or rheumatic pain. It curbs the proliferation of fat cells and promotes skin firmness. In addition, mint contains vitamin C, A and omega-3 fatty acids, which help protect your skin from sunburn.
WOODLAND NETTLE
A natural beautifier and skin-nurturing herb, Nettle is a good source of antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins. It is known for its gentle astringent action, and anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and can be exceptionally helpful in easing skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. Nettle is also used to treat skin burns, insect bites and Acne. A wonderful remedy for easing itchy skin and quick healing of patchy rashes, as well as reducing blemishes and burn scars. For physically active people, Nettle contains valuable components that can reduce muscle pain caused by straining and overstretching.
SPIRULINA
Spirulina, blue-green algae, is packed with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-bacterial ingredients, making it one of the hottest skincare ingredients on the market. Applied topically to the skin, this superfood can do wonders when it comes to glow and complexion.
The high content of nutrients, vitamins, and both fatty and amino acids support your skin’s health. This is vital for maintaining collagen and elastin levels which leads to a firmer, plumper, vibrant, hydrated, and more youthful appearance of the skin. Spirulina works remarkably on dull and congested skin as it gently detoxifies and encourages cell renewal hence healing. Spirulina’s anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial properties help reduce puffiness, soothe redness, and irritation and improve Acne by eliminating the surface bacteria responsible for breakouts. Spirulina is also rich in antioxidants that can help defend your skin from all those free radicals responsible for skin ageing.
