Cztery Szpaki Soap Nettle with Coniferous Essential Oils - 110 g

The main character of this soap in a big Hollywood production would play the role of a typical villain, who at the very end shows his completely different face, rescues an old lady from a fire, adopts a little cat, bakes apple pies for the neighbours and generally everyone loves him. Such a happy ending. This hero, or rather heroine, is.... nettle. A troublesome weed and a painful childhood memory from which it is best to stay away. Everyone has heard something about its beneficial properties somewhere, but only recently has it been able to bask in a well-deserved blaze of glory, and properly so!

Effect:

No action happened in the making of this cube. We'll spare you the details, because why go back into the meanderings when what matters is the destination, which fortunately turned out to be mega pleasant and we're going to hang out there for a while.

We're going to do it again.

By a lot of trial and even more error, we got something we like immensely and we think you will share those feelings. Ground (and previously dried) nettle, which is responsible for both the visual and the content, landed in our classic soap bar. The green, unique colour of the bar is thanks precisely to Urtica Dioica (everything sounds clever in Latin, have you noticed?). As well as imparting colour, the plant's lightly perceptible particles gently smooth and massage the skin, making the soap a soft (or even soft-soft) alternative to scrubbing. And as if that wasn't enough, nettle has a soothing, cleansing and toning effect, as well as nourishing the skin and hair. No wonder our grandmothers loved it and valued it for its beneficial properties.

The juicy, dark green of the cube brings to mind a forest. And when you smell it, you are almost certain to be in that forest. The essential oils of cedar, pine, spruce and juniper will make your bathroom into a little bit of a forest, spreading the scent of trees, needles and resin. It's easy to forget.
