Plantain & Nettle Botanical Soap

Plantain 

Soothing and anti-inflammatory ~ Plantain leaves (Plantago major) are rich in compounds like allantoin and flavonoids, which have soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. This makes them ideal for calming irritated or sensitive skin and may help alleviate conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

Wound healing ~ Plantain has been traditionally used for its wound-healing properties. The plant contains mucilage, which forms a protective barrier on the skin, promoting faster healing and reducing the risk of infection.

Antioxidant-rich ~ Plantain contains antioxidants like vitamin C and E, which can help protect the skin from free radicals and environmental damage, leading to a healthier complexion.

Emollient ~ The mucilage in plantain leaves acts as an emollient, helping to moisturize and soften the skin, making it a valuable ingredient for dry or rough skin.

Soothing and calming ~ Nettle leaves (Urtica dioica) have anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe and calm irritated or inflamed skin, making it beneficial for those with sensitive skin or skin conditions like eczema.

Antioxidant-rich ~ Nettle is a good source of antioxidants, including vitamins A and C, which can help combat free radicals and promote youthful-looking skin.

Skin-nourishing ~ Nettles are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that can nourish and revitalize the skin, supporting overall skin health.

Mildly exfoliating ~ Nettle leaves contain fine hairs that can act as a gentle exfoliant, aiding in the removal of dead skin cells and promoting smoother skin.

Anti-acne properties ~ Nettle possesses natural antimicrobial properties, which can be

beneficial for individuals with acne-prone skin by helping to control bacteria and reduce breakouts. 

 

Together, these little weeds complement each other's properties, resulting in a soap that provides excellent soothing, healing, and nourishing effects on the skin. The combined infusion can be particularly beneficial for individuals with sensitive or troubled skin, offering relief from inflammation, dryness, and skin irritations. Additionally, the antioxidant content can promote overall skin health, reducing the signs of aging and helping to maintain a healthy complexion. 

Gentle and Calming ~ The plantain and nettle infusion, along with the soothing essential oils, provide a gentle and calming effect on the skin, making it suitable for daily use.

Moisturizing and Nourishing ~Avocado oil, shea, and cocoa butter work together to deeply moisturize and nourish the skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth.

Gentle Cleansing ~ Kaolin clay ensures a mild cleansing action, effectively removing impurities without stripping the skin of its natural oils.

Skin-Friendly ~ Oat milk soothes and hydrates the skin, making it an excellent choice for individuals with sensitive or delicate skin.

Aromatherapy Benefits ~ The well-balanced blend of Juniper Berry, Pink Grapefruit, Lavender, Chamomile, and Ho Wood essential oils uplifts your spirits and provides a sense of relaxation during your bath. 

 

 

All bars are handcrafted, each bar soap weighs approx. 140gr, so please allow for minor variations in the appearance of the product, after all it’s what makes each bar authentic.

White Cauldron Co.'s soap are cured for 4-6 weeks to help produce a good, hard and long-lasting bar. Please keep the bar dry in between uses, ideally on a draining soap dish. If you need one, then please check out our accessories.

Our soaps are rather large, I find cutting them in half makes them easier to handle.

All our soaps come labelled in 100% biodegradable paper, which are embedded with a mix of wildflower seeds. To grow the paper just place in a pot with compost, water well and make sure the paper is always kept moist (Do not let it dry out as this will reduce the chance of growth).

Keep the pot somewhere light and warm and watch the beautiful flowers grow.

Handcrafted in the UK using high quality ingredients.
