Scottish Tartan Soap Bar - Charcoal Detox

Serious detoxification with gentle care. This beautifully crafted Scottish soap combines activated charcoal powder with fresh lemon essential oil, pumice, aloe vera, and jojoba. Wrapped in authentic tartan, it's brilliant for oily skin and blemishes - powerful enough to properly detoxify yet gentle enough for daily facial use. That genuinely clean, balanced, refreshed feeling.

Activated charcoal powder:

Activated charcoal is exceptional at absorbing dirt, excess oils, and impurities from skin. The activation process creates millions of tiny pores in the charcoal, massively increasing its surface area and absorption capacity. It draws out environmental pollutants and excess sebum like a magnet - bringing oily skin back to harmony without stripping or over-drying.

This is the serious deep-cleansing ingredient that makes this soap particularly effective for problem skin.

Fresh lemon essential oil:

Pure lemon oil brings powerful natural antiseptic properties. It helps tone, brighten, and balance spot-causing bacteria on skin beautifully. Rich in vitamin C, it supports skin clarity whilst the fresh citrus scent is uplifting and clean. Lemon is brilliant for helping keep breakouts in check.

Pumice:

Finely ground volcanic pumice provides gentle physical exfoliation, buffing away dead cells and helping prevent pore blockages. Combined with the charcoal's drawing power, it ensures thorough cleansing and smooth, refined skin texture.

Aloe vera leaf juice:

Fresh aloe vera is crucial for balance. Whilst the charcoal and lemon do their purifying work, aloe vera soothes and hydrates without adding oiliness. It provides anti-inflammatory benefits, helps heal blemishes, and keeps skin comfortable. This is why the soap is gentle enough for daily facial use despite its powerful cleansing action.

Jojoba seed oil:

Jojoba is brilliant for oily skin because it mimics skin's natural sebum. Rather than adding more oil, it helps signal to skin that it's already balanced - reducing overproduction. The result is comfortable, harmonious skin that doesn't feel tight or stripped.

Why this combination works:

The activated charcoal and pumice deeply detoxify and exfoliate. Lemon oil provides antiseptic action and brightening. Aloe vera soothes and balances. Jojoba ensures skin stays comfortable. It's powerful cleansing without harshness - perfect for oily or blemished skin that needs serious help without irritation.
