Peppermint Patty soap has a minty scent that opens the airways, invigorates the senses, and soothes sore muscles. The menthol in peppermint oil activates your skin’s thermoreceptors, initiating a cooling sensation that may sometimes be accompanied by a slight tingling or prickling. This is a normal reaction, as menthol interacts directly with the skin’s temperature receptors, producing a cooling sensation without altering the skin’s temperature.

Peppermint essential oil is known for its antibacterial/microbial and antifungal properties, which aid in treating athlete’s foot. It produces a cooling and tingling sensation on the skin, invigorating the mind and senses. Aromatherapists use it to help individuals with anxiety and stress because peppermint oil invigorates the mind and senses. As peppermint soap cures, it takes six to eight weeks to eliminate any impurities that would prevent the soap from reaching a pH of 5 on the acidic mantle scale.

SCT (Soaps Creams & Things) does not use dyes or synthetics. Our organic cacao powder has a bold, rich brown color and a lower acidity level, which enhances its solubility and deepens its color. Cacao powder is rich in caffeine, which helps promote the growth of new skin cells. For long-lasting soap bars, SCT cures all soap for six to eight weeks, allowing water evaporation to create a much harder bar that also improves its longevity and mildness. The curing time allows the soap’s three-dimensional crystalline structure to fully develop, influencing its strength, conductivity, and optical properties (when light interferes, soap bubbles display rainbow colors as light reflects from their front and back surfaces).

The healthiest soap to use is generally a natural soap that is free from harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, and potential irritants. Opting for soaps with moisturizing ingredients, such as oils like olive, coconut, or goat milk, is beneficial, especially for dry skin.
