Benefits of Tea Tree, Peppermint & Eucalyptus Soap (and Why Handmade is Better for Sensitive Skin)
If you’re tired of supermarket soap that leaves your skin feeling tight, itchy, or dry, it’s time to switch to something your skin will actually thank you for: handmade natural soap. At Naturally Soapy, I use skin loving oils and pure essential oils like Tea Tree, Peppermint, and Eucalyptus Smithii to create soap that’s not only cleansing but also soothing, refreshing, and safe for sensitive skin (yes, even for kids!).
Tea Tree: Natural Soap for Clear & Balanced Skin
Tea Tree essential oil is one of the most popular natural ingredients for acne-prone skin and for good reason. With antibacterial and antifungal properties, it helps keep breakouts at bay while calming irritation. Instead of harsh, drying cleansers, a bar of Tea Tree handmade soap gives your skin a gentle deep clean, leaving it balanced and refreshed.
Peppermint: Cooling Soap for Tired, Itchy Skin
Peppermint oil adds that signature refreshing tingle. But it’s more than just a spa like treat it helps boost circulation, cools itchy or irritated skin, and leaves you feeling instantly revitalised. My peppermint soap bars are especially popular in summer (or post-gym showers) for their uplifting, cooling effect.
Eucalyptus Smithii: Gentle Enough for Children’s Soap
Eucalyptus often gets a bad rap for being too strong for sensitive skin but that’s where we’re different. I use the Smithii variety of eucalyptus, which is the most gentle of all. Safe for daily use and suitable for children, it’s naturally antibacterial and soothing without the harshness of other eucalyptus oils. Think of it as a soft herbal hug, making it perfect for a gentle soap for sensitive skin.
Why Handmade Soap is Better Than Supermarket Soap
Most mass produced soaps are made with detergents and fillers that strip your skin of its natural oils. Our handmade soaps are different, they retain glycerin, a natural humectant that draws moisture into the skin. The result? A bar that cleans without drying. Plus, handmade means small-batch, cruelty-free, palm oil free, and crafted with care (not churned out by machines).
The Avocado Oil Advantage: Nourishment You Can Feel
Here’s what makes Naturally Soapy unique: I use avocado oil in our handmade soaps. Packed with vitamins A, D, and E, plus skin-loving fatty acids, avocado oil is a powerhouse for hydration and repair. It’s especially beneficial for people with eczema, psoriasis, or very sensitive skin. Sure, it costs more than your standard filler oils but your skin deserves it. The difference is in the results: soft, nourished, glowing skin after every wash.
Why Upgrade Your Soap?
Yes, my soap bars cost a little more than the mass produced stuff but they’re an investment in healthy skin. Every wash is a mini spa moment, with natural ingredients that work in harmony with your skin, to create calm, clean skin that glows (and won’t clog your bathroom shelf with unnecessary chemicals).
Why settle for dry, itchy skin when you could have glowing, nourished skin instead? Swap the boring bar for Naturally Soapy your skin will notice the difference after the very first wash.
