Scottish Salt Soap Dook x Lind & Lime Handmade Soap

Limited-edition handmade soap developed in collaboration with Lind & Lime Gin scented with Lime, Juniper and Coriander Essential Oils.

Lind & Lime Gin is produced in Edinburgh’s historic distilling district of Leith.
The award-winning gin is distilled with a carefully curated recipe of seven botanicals including lime, juniper & coriander.

 SCENT: Fresh, bright citrus with a spicy twist

A unique handmade soap developed in collaboration with Edinburgh's iconic Lind & Lime Gin, made just a couple of miles away in Edinburgh’s historic, port district of Leith.

This soap was inspired by both the botanicals used in Lind & Lime’s unique (and delicious!) gin and by their iconic ridged bottle.

Lime essential oil is a critical part of the mix:  it packs a powerful fresh citrus punch in our soap’s scent.  This citrus fruit also hold a very important place in the creation of this unique Edinburgh gin.

The ‘Lind’ in name of the gin is in fact Dr Lind – and Edinburgh based doctor, who in the 1740s conducted one the world’s first clinical trials and discovered the beneficial effects of including citrus fruits in the diet of sailors.  Following this discovery limes were then issued to British sailors, many of whom were in the docks in Leith, to counter the scurvy and malnutrition that sailors suffered in the 18^th Century. 

This very special handmade soap is ridged to reflect the distinctive shape and feel of the glass bottle which houses Lind & Lime gin.  The color and gradient also reflects the green-aqua of the recycled glass made especially for this gin.

HOW TO USE:

We recommend lathering up with the soaps and washing with the thick lather. If you like to rub a soap bar directly onto your skin, then perhaps wrap it in a flannel first or try a soap saver - these bags will protect your delicate skin from any of the more scratchy salt grains.
