Description
Description
Mint here is a smell, not a sensation. There's no menthol anywhere on the ingredient list, so you get the cold, green sharpness of peppermint over dark cedarwood without the tingle that makes menthol washes uncomfortable on freshly shaved skin.
Underneath the scent, thirteen ingredients: four cleansers sharing the work, betaine fifth to stop your skin finishing tight, and organic quince fruit extract. No artificial colour, and nothing in the formula that has to be declared as an allergen. 98% natural origin, certified COSMOS Natural by Ecocert.
How to use
How to use
Half a pump onto damp skin goes further than you'd expect — it builds a lather quickly, so most people start by using twice what they need. Fine at the basin, in the shower, or poured under a running bath.
Rinse thoroughly. The cedarwood settles into the skin and stays around a good while after the mint has lifted.
Who is it for?
Who is it for?
All skin types, and anyone who wants one bottle covering the sink and the shower. It suits people who like a cold, sharp scent in the morning rather than something sweet — and people who like mint but not the sting.
Sulfate free it isn't: a coconut-derived sulfate sits second and produces the lather, with three gentler cleansers around it. On the plus side, a scent this defined with an empty allergen line is rare. Vegan, and free from gluten and nuts.

Ingredients / INCI
How to use it
Half a pump
Onto damp skin. It builds up fast, and most people reach for twice what they actually need.
Basin, shower or bath
One bottle covers all three. There's no separate hand version because there doesn't need to be.
Rinse properly
The mint lifts off quickly. The cedarwood underneath it sticks around considerably longer.
One bottle, three taps
Shower gels and hand soaps are sold separately out of habit rather than necessity.

What's inside and why it's there
Thirteen ingredients, 98% natural in origin, carrying Ecocert Greenlife's COSMOS Natural certification. Free of artificial colour, with an empty allergen line. Suitable for vegans, gluten free, nut free, GMO free, bottle recyclable.
Peppermint Over Dark Cedar
Cold and green at the top, dry and woody underneath. Read the thirteen ingredients and you'll notice what isn't there — menthol. This smells of mint without behaving like it.
Betaine
Not a cleanser — a humectant, sitting above most of the formula. It's what remains on your skin once everything else has gone down the drain, and why you don't immediately reach for a moisturiser.
And Nothing Spare
Four cleansers, a humectant, organic quince fruit extract, and what keeps the bottle stable. No artificial colour, no filler, and an allergen line that reads empty.
Questions people ask before buying
It shouldn't. Menthol is what produces that cold sting, and there's none listed among the thirteen ingredients — the peppermint here is a fragrance rather than a sensation. Useful if you like mint scents but not what they do to freshly shaved skin.
It isn't. A coconut-derived sulfate sits second and generates the lather, with three gentler cleansers working alongside it. It's not SLS or SLES, but if the word itself is a dealbreaker for you then this isn't the bottle.
Yes — the same formula handles both, and it works poured under a running bath too. Selling hand wash and shower gel separately was always a shelf-space decision, not a formulation one.
Betaine sits high in this formula and doesn't rinse away with everything else — that's what stops the tight feeling. If you're at a sink a dozen times a day you'll notice it more than anyone.
Generously — that's what the coconut sulfate is there for. Washes built on sugar surfactants alone barely bubble, and people compensate by using three times as much of them.
Sharp green peppermint first, with something herbaceous behind it, settling onto a dry white cedarwood base. It's a cold, brisk scent rather than a comforting one — better suited to a morning shower than a bath before bed.
The allergen line on this label is empty, which you don't often see next to a scent this pronounced. Every one of the thirteen ingredients appears on this page. Still worth a patch test if products generally give your skin trouble.
None, nor any filler. Every one of the thirteen ingredients earns its place.
Vegan and cruelty free, plus gluten free and nut free. GMO free, and the bottle can be recycled. Ecocert Greenlife certifies the formula to COSMOS Natural at 98% natural origin.
After the shower
Damp skin takes whatever you put on it next far better than dry skin does.
