Most soap products use shea butters, coconut butters, and olive oil to soothe irritated skin. Apricoty’s unique formula incorporates exotic oils, crystals and clays into soaps and skin care products to give you skin a unique cleanse. Here are some of our favorites, and their essential benefits when your skin is bothered.
- Kaolin Clay
Commonly used in face masks, we mix kaolin powder or clay into Apricoty soaps to reap their cleansing benefits. The pH of kaolin powder is close to that of human skin, making it an effective cleanser and moisturizer. It cleans skin without removing too much excess oil, allowing for a bright, rejuvenating shine. Kaolin can help soothe mild irritation from bug bites, to larger skin irritants at the root of conditions like psoriasis and eczema.Tiny particles naturally found in kaolin clay allow it to penetrate deep into pores and clean out the dirt that can clog skin and cause acne.

- Menthol Crystals
Despite what you’re thinking, menthol crystals are not used as an ingredient in cigarettes These tiny mint-green rocks are cool and refreshing, and often carry a minty aroma. Here at Apricoty, we use menthol crystals to prevent dryness and itchy skin. There are plenty of other uses too – including as a salve, balm, throat spray, medicated oil, or as shampoo and conditioner.

- Babassu Oil
Babassu oil is an herbal botanical derived from the babassu palm tree, attalea speciosa, a native palm found in South America. While the leaves, roots, and fruits of the plants are commonly used in medicine, the oils of the palm’s root – babassu oil – are used for cleansing and purifying the skin. Healthy fats in babassu oil keep skin clean and fresh, while other properties help fight acne.
