C. O. Bigelow Mentha Exfoliating Bar Soap, Pack of 2 — 7 oz Peppermint & Walnut Powder for Cooling, Gentle Mechanical Exfoliation

This is an invigorating peppermint exfoliating soap bar that combines crushed walnut powder and peppermint oil to gently cleanse, smooth, and refresh rough, dry skin.

C. O. Bigelow Mentha Exfoliating Bar Soap is formulated to lift dead skin and leave a cooling, energized sensation after each use. Handcrafted by Bigelow chemists and made in the USA, this soap bar blends physical exfoliation from crushed walnut powder with a brisk peppermint oil finish. It’s designed to rinse clean without leaving a heavy residue, and comes as two individually wrapped 7 oz bars that fit standard soap dishes.

How does this soap remove dry, rough patches?

The bar uses finely crushed walnut powder to abrade and remove flaky, dead skin cells, revealing smoother surface skin underneath. Exfoliation also helps other moisturizers and treatments absorb more uniformly.

• Crushed walnut powder provides gentle, natural mechanical exfoliation.
• Use on elbows, knees, feet, hands and body for targeted smoothing.
• Rinses clean to avoid sticky or oily film after use.

What sensations and scents should I expect in the shower?

Peppermint oil gives a cool, tingling sensation that refreshes the skin and senses without harshness. The mint aroma is bright and awakening, ideal for morning showers or post-workout rinses.

• Cooling peppermint oil for an invigorating finish.
• Lightly scented—noticeable but not overpowering.
• Specifically formulated to feel revitalizing on tired skin.

Can I use this before shaving or on sensitive areas?

Exfoliating beforehand can reduce the chance of clogged razors and help achieve a smoother shave. However, avoid aggressive scrubbing on freshly broken skin or highly irritated areas; test a small area if you have sensitive skin.

• Helps lift hairs and smooth skin ahead of shaving for a closer result.
• Not recommended for open wounds or severely inflamed skin.
• Gentle pressure and short passes preserve comfort on delicate areas.

What else should I know about usage and care?

Use the bar with wet skin in the bath or shower, rubbing it directly over the desired area, then rinse thoroughly. Let the bar dry between uses on a well-draining soap dish to extend its life.

• Works best on wet skin—apply in circular motions for even exfoliation.
• Store on a slotted or raised soap dish to prevent softening.
• Each 7 oz bar fits standard soap holders and lasts longer when allowed to dry.

Who is this for? C. O. Bigelow Mentha Exfoliating Bar Soap is suited to anyone looking to add natural, tactile exfoliation and a refreshing peppermint boost to their routine—especially those with dry, rough patches on feet, elbows, knees, or hands. It’s a practical choice for people who prefer cruelty-free, handcrafted soaps and want a straightforward, aromatic way to renew skin texture before moisturizing or shaving. If you have very sensitive or broken skin, consult patch testing or choose a milder, non-abrasive cleanser.
