Dirty Mint | Bar Soap
Get clean with Dirty Mint. The mint hits first, cool and fresh; the dirty is the sweet tobacco and honey underneath, keeping it warm and a little earthy. It's also the simplest bar we make: tallow, a few good oils, shea butter, and a double dose of kaolin clay. Kaolin is one of the gentlest clays in the craft, and the heavier hand here is the whole trick. It thickens the lather to a silky slip, cleans gently and thoroughly, absorbs excess oil, and rinses off without a hint of tightness.
Scent
Mint up front, crisp and cooling. Sweet tobacco through the heart. Honey rounds out the finish. Fresh enough to wake you up, warm enough that you won't smell like toothpaste.
Weight
Approximately 4.2 oz. Hand-cut, so size and weight vary slightly bar to bar.
What's not in it
No detergents, and that difference is the whole point. Detergent bars clean by stripping, which is where the tight, dry after-shower feel comes from. Real tallow soap cleans just as well and leaves your skin's natural oils where they belong.
Safety / Allergies
Contains skin-safe fragrance. Patch test if you have known sensitivities.
Use & Storage
Lather between wet hands or with a cloth. Let the bar dry on a draining dish between uses.
Full ingredients: Saponified oils of beef tallow, coconut, olive, and castor; shea butter; kaolin clay; fragrance.
