Questions people ask
What skin type is it for?
It suits oily skin. Moong (green gram) powder is a fine grain scrub rather than a coarse grit, so it exfoliates without scouring.
Who should avoid it?
Anyone with sensitive or broken skin, as it is still a physical scrub, and anyone sensitive to jasmine, neroli or grapefruit.
What is in it?
Coconut oil and wild forest beeswax, moong powder, and jasmine, neroli and grapefruit essential oils. Forest Post hasn't published the other base oils or the alkali used to make the soap yet, and we've asked. No sulphates, phthalates, parabens or palm oil.
How should I use it?
Lather with water and use gentle circular motions. Patch-test first if your skin reacts to essential oils, and keep it on a draining dish.
