With crushed almonds & baking soda. Purifying, refreshing & revitalizing. Heritage: Mentha piperita, also known as Peppermint, is one of the earliest documented medicinal herbs cultivated by ancient Egyptians. Known for its cooling, astringent and purifying benefits on the skin, peppermint is also known to have stimulating aromatic effect. Legend has it that Cleopatra used the gel of the aloe vera plant in her bath water and in the colorings for her eyes and lips. Aloe, the plant of immortality, is an essential botanical first aid treatment dating back to the 4th century BC when ancient doctors obtained aloe from islands in the Indian Ocean. For over three thousand years, the over 300 species of aloe vera have been known to promote healing. Carefully blending conditioning aloe and organic shea butter with peppermint essential oil creates an effective cleanser for a variety of delicate skin conditions. The oxygen action of baking soda invigorates and revitalizes skin as peppermint's uplifting aroma stimulates the senses. Crushed almonds add antioxidant and gentle exfoliation to this rich lathering, invigorating and skin soothing all-natural soap. www.NubianHeritage.com. Certified organic ingredients. Cruelty free.
