Why you'll like it: This orange soap is highly reviving as it rids the skin of impurities while stimulating and tightening skin pores. It contains Orange juice and Orange-skin extract, both rich in Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic acid), that soften out fine lines and minimise wrinkles giving shine and elasticity to the skin. Essential oils in orange skin have antiseptic and detoxifying properties that keep erupting and forming acne at bay. In this soap, they are combined with bergamot essential oils that fight oiliness and acne. Each bar is also enriched with mandarin essential oil, reviving both the skin and the senses. Cypress essential oil cleanses deeply the skin, making it tender and shiny, while can be beneficial especially to oily skin thanks to its antiseptic properties.

Skin Type: Suitable for all. Ideal for acne-prone and mature skins.

How to use: Rub between your wet hands or on your natural sponge for extra foam, under lukewarm water. You can also rub it onto your face or body gently in circular motions. Wash your face- don’t forget your forehead and neck-, or wash your body in the shower, and rinse well. Dry your face with cotton (or other soft fabric) towel by dabbing gently your skin.

This handmade soap retains all the natural glycerin in it (derived from vegetable oils) and it’s superfatted so it won’t strip your skin off of beneficial oils.

It contains an organic, cold-press, Cretan Olive oil and organic Coconut oil blend, enriched with juice from sweet homegrown Cretan oranges, orange skin peels, essential oils of orange, mandarin, bergamot and cypress as well as carrot oil.

Natural dyeing and subtle scents are naturally occurring from plants and essential oils. Because of this, actual colours may vary slightly from those pictured here.
