What Makes Our Chai Tea Soap So Special

The Etta + Billie Chai Tea Soap is not just an enriching holiday bathing experience, but actually packed with so many rich ingredients that boost aromatherapy and skin wellness. This week, we're exploring how rich cardamom, cinnamon and nutmeg are your key bathing essentials for the winter season! 

Cardamom and Antimicrobial Impact

Cardamom is a special ingredient that stems from the same family as ginger - and is a key component of our Chai Tea Soap. Cardamom essential oil, when used for external use, only has been found to kill several types of bacteria and fungi. Research has shown that is helps damage the cell membrane from certain bacteria. In addition, cardamom is a rich antioxidant that can provide an invigorating odor that enhances your body's ability to use oxygen while exercising. 

Benefits of Cinnamon 

Our Chai Tea Soap is rich with notes of cinnamon to awaken feelings of warm hugs and winter baked goods. Cinnamon Essential Oil is good for diminishing the feelings of depression, faintness, and exhaustion in the body. It is also known to relax the body enough to stimulate the libido, making it an effective natural aphrodisiac! Cinnamon is fantastic for seasonal celebrations of warm spices & treats. This soap is also perfect for bringing those favored winter treats into your bathroom! 

Why We Love Nutmeg 

Nutmeg essential oil is a key ingredient in marrying the prominent noted of cardamom with the scent of cinnamon in our Chai Tea Soap. Nutmeg essential oil is amazing for relieving joint pain, elevating mood, regulating menstrual cycles and hormones, as well as boosting cell regeneration for skin and healthy hair. Nutmeg, we as all know, smells amazing, but is a really popular addition for perfumes, shower gels, cleansers, moisturizers, and other body care products. 

So many of our limited edition holiday releases use these rich essential oils - but you can also explore our our chai tea scent ingredient blend in soap, body scrub, liquid soap, and even skin balm. These blends only come around once a year, so be sure to stock up before they are gone! Luckily, chai tea is appropriate all year round.
