Green Godess
Nettle powder, Lavender essential oil, and Tea Tree essential oil combine to create a deeply cleansing, soothing, and balancing soap ideal for problematic skin.
Nettle powder, rich in vitamins (A, C, K) and minerals (iron, silica, sulfur), offers several benefits for skin care:
- Anti-inflammatory: Soothes inflamed skin, helping to reduce redness and irritation associated with conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis.
- Astringent and purifying: The natural astringency helps to tighten pores, regulate natural sebum (oil) production, and draw out impurities, making it excellent for acne-prone or oily skin.
- Antibacterial and antioxidant: Fights bacteria associated with blemishes and acne, while antioxidants (polyphenols, carotenoids) protect skin cells from free radical damage and premature aging.
- Nourishing: The high mineral content supports overall skin health, resilience, and elasticity.
- Natural colorant/exfoliant: It provides a natural green hue to the soap and, depending on how finely it is ground, can offer a gentle exfoliating effect.
Lavender essential oil complements the nettle with its well-known properties:
- Calming and soothing: It has prominent calming and anti-inflammatory properties, making it gentle for sensitive or irritated skin.
- Antiseptic: Helps to cleanse the skin and prevent infection in minor blemishes or cuts.
- Aromatherapy: Provides a relaxing, herbaceous scent that can help soothe the mind.
Tea tree essential oil adds powerful clarifying properties to the blend:
- Antibacterial and antifungal: It is highly valued for its strong natural antimicrobial action, which can combat bacteria and fungi associated with skin issues and breakouts.
- Acne relief: Effectively helps to cleanse acne-prone skin and minimize breakouts.
- Purifying: Offers a fresh, clean scent that enhances the soap's purifying feel.
Together, these ingredients create a synergistic effect: the nettle provides a nourishing, anti-inflammatory, and sebum-regulating base, while the lavender and tea tree enhance the cleansing, antibacterial, and soothing capabilities. This results in a potent, yet gentle, bar of soap that addresses multiple skin concerns from irritation and dryness to oiliness and acne.
