Coconut Oil
Coconut oil tops the charts when considering oil benefits for your skin - it contains a natural lauric acid which has some serious antibacterial & antimicrobial skills whilst being an absolute skin hydrator legend!
Shea Butter
Shea Butter is rich in Vitamins A, E & F whilst being a great source of fatty acids. It is a miracle worker for moisturising the skin, improving wound repairs, reduces blemishes and scars!
Caster Oil
Caster oil is a master anti-inflammatory thanks to one of it's fatty acids (Ricinoleic acid) which also reduced pain sensations in wounds.
Olive Oil
Olive oil provides our strongest addition to the recipe when considering antioxidants, it's also got a hefty punch of Vitamin E. As with our other oils its an important component for making sure your skin doesn't dry out and this is thanks to Squalene which is key for moisture retention.
Natural Clay
The final addition to Mighty Soap is the colour - we use 2 natural clay colours who each in their own way are brilliant - Green removes toxins, stimulates circulation, helps heal marks/scars and soothes cuts and wounds. Then we have Yellow which is a super strong antioxidant but also aids in oxygen absorption.

Tea Tree
Tea Tree oil comes from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia, a small tree native to Australia and it contains a number of super helpful compounds such as terpinen-4-ol which can destroy bacteria, viruses and fungi!
Peppermint
Peppermint is the dark horse in our oil list even though its use for lots of different internal & external ailments date back to the Egyptians!
It is a brilliant anti-inflammatory but is great at soothing the skin so whether you've had a hard session on the mats, gruelling run, game on the pitch or court this fella is going to help calm any new scrapes, cuts or grazes!
