As the crisp autumn air begins to settle in, there’s no better time to refresh and nourish your skin with products that deeply care for your wellbeing. That’s where The Edinburgh Natural Skincare Company steps in, offering a range of eco-conscious, luxurious skincare products that will have you ready to face the colder months. Today, I’m reviewing a pampering must-have for autumn – the Super Scottish Porridge and Honey Cold Processed Soap.
Disclaimer: I was kindly gifted this soap by The Edinburgh Natural Skincare Company to try out, but rest assured, all opinions shared are entirely my own and based on my personal experience with the product.
This soap is not just a product – it’s an experience, handmade with the finest natural ingredients and wrapped in eco-friendly packaging. From the moment you open the beautiful fabric pouch, a comforting blend of scents and textures immediately welcomes you. Here’s why this soap has become my favourite autumn companion:
First Impressions
The Super Scottish Porridge and Honey Soap arrives elegantly in a cotton drawstring bag, embodying both sustainability and artistry. The packaging alone sets the tone for a brand that genuinely cares about its impact on the environment. As a lover of both nature and skincare, this thoughtful packaging is a huge bonus for me.
Once out of the bag, the soap itself looks like a little bar of luxury, embedded with real Scottish porridge oats. You can already imagine the soothing, exfoliating properties it’s going to have, especially when preparing your skin for the harsher elements of autumn.
The Ingredients: A Soothing Blend
This soap is handcrafted using cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, eco-sustainable palm oil and virgin organic unrefined shea butter. These nourishing ingredients ensure that while your skin is exfoliated with the porridge oats, it is simultaneously moisturised, leaving it feeling soft and cared for.
The added touch of honey provides antibacterial and hydrating properties, while the bergamot oil offers a revitalising citrus scent, perfect for boosting your mood during darker, colder days. The hint of rosewood adds a calming, earthy fragrance, balancing the soap’s overall sensory experience.
Why It’s Perfect for Autumn
As the season changes, so does our skin. Cooler weather tends to make skin dry and flaky, which is where the gentle exfoliation from the porridge oats comes in handy. Not only does it help unclog pores and remove dead skin cells but it also promotes skin cell renewal, leaving you with a fresh and radiant complexion.
But exfoliation alone isn’t enough – and this is where the soap truly shines. Thanks to its blend of moisturising oils and shea butter, your skin feels soft and nourished after each use, as if it’s been wrapped in a comforting autumnal blanket.
Using this soap is a simple way to inject a little luxury into your daily routine. Pair it with a hot bath, a candle (as shown in my photos) and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a cosy autumn pampering session.
