Alternative Nutrition Product:
Coconut oil & Peppermint Tea Bar Moisturizer and Cleanser
My alternative nutrition product consists of a coconut oil and peppermint tea soap, that doubles as a moisturizer to help treat dry, and irritating skin. Alongside these main benefits for treating dry, and irritating skin, coconut oil is a major natural skin moisturizer, which can help protect the skin from dryness and flaking, is also popular for removing makeup and it is great for massaging in your skin for a relaxing and de-stressing. Properties of Peppermint oil is best known for a natural cleanser for skin, help reduce irritating skin, and helps to prevent acne. Peppermint oil is a great source for antiseptic and antimicrobial properties, which can reduce and prevent growth-causing microorganisms and bacteria on the skin. Based from many research done, both coconut oil and peppermint tea are a great resource for cooling the skin, especially peppermint tea which is great in treating insect bites, rashes and inflammation of the skin. The significance of this product is to treat and try to reduce acne, irritating skin and providing a cooling sensation using peppermint tea, and utilizing the coconut oil to moisturize the skin.
My product which consists of coconut oil and peppermint tea in the form of a bar, can be created easily by mixing the coconut oil in a warm pot and adding peppermint tea, or peppermint leaves, mixing the ingredients well, and then placing the liquid on any shape container you would like it to make a mold from, and finally allowing it to cool in the refrigerator overnight. This product is meant to be all natural and easy to assemble, so the use of no added additives and chemicals are not included. Knowing this in mind, the bar would probably not create a soapy lathering texture like most soap cleanser would create but the properties and the effect and or benefits of the bar are still included. The utilization of the bar could include using it in the shower to moisturize your body after using your regular soap or body bath, this bar could be used to finalize your cleansing routine, and leaving your skin smooth and soft. By applying it after you wash and rinsing it with water, this will allow the components of the coconut oil and peppermint tea to adhere to your skin, moisturizing and treating any rashes and irritations. It would be recommended to keep this coconut oil and peppermint tea bar soap in a cool place because when kept in a hot temperature it might melt and lose its consistency. The product can also be created by using the peppermint tea leaves in the mixture with the coconut oil, which can add more of an aroma to the bar soap and the resulting color of the bar would be a light or dark green color depending how much of the peppermint tea is used.
