Spicy Anise Natural Soap

Anise

£5.95

My wild card! Scented with anise essential oil to create a spicy and sweet scent reminiscent of liquorice. Aniseed oil is known to mask human body odour and was often used by hunters and fishermen. Perhaps you could try it as a hand soap in the kitchen to banish the smell of garlic and onions?

The Picobello Soap Formula

Anise Essential Oil With A Liquorice-Like Scent

Picobello Anise is a natural handmade soap scented with anise essential oil, giving it a spicy and sweet aroma reminiscent of liquorice. Picobello describes it as the wild card of the soap range and notes that aniseed oil is known to mask human body odour, having traditionally been used by hunters and fishermen.

That makes Anise an interesting choice for the kitchen too, with Picobello suggesting it as a hand soap to help banish lingering garlic and onion smells. Like the wider Picobello soap range, it is handmade in Yorkshire using plant oils and natural ingredients, and is cruelty free, palm oil free and suitable for vegans.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely superb, high quality products. I've been using the sage and salt soap as a facial soap for several years now and I wouldn't dream of using anything else on my face. I had some skin problems before I started using it but these went completely a few weeks after I began using the soap. I can honestly say that my skin is in the best condition now that it has ever been. The products are excellent value for money, particularly for the quality of the ingredients used, and last a really long time - just two bars last me all year.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Used a few of the soaps and the face and body oil. Very happy with my purchases, all aromas I just love. The oil absorbs like a cream you can  get dressed straight away. Thank you Bettina you deserve every success, from a very happy customer!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been using Bettina’s soaps and oils for a few years now and I love them. People often comment on their lovely aroma when they come to visit my home.

I have dry sensitive skin and since using her soaps I no longer need to use body moisturisers or oil for dry skin. I still love the ritual of body oils so continue to pamper myself anyway.

This year I took a trip to the Amazonian jungle and decided to give her Buzz Off soap a try!! I have a real problem with mosquitos usually but I was restricted to bringing only organic products so as not to damage the delicate ecosystem of the rainforest. I was so amazed and delighted to find out that Buzz Off really worked! I used it in combination with some organic mosquito repellant sun cream and I didn’t get a single bite!!! This was a miracle to be honest. I’m sure Buzz off was a key factor because the last time I was there I was badly bitten and had used the same organic mosquito repellant suncream on that occasion too. So thank you Bettina! Your soaps are epic!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been religiously using the Jojoba Pomegranate and Olive Face and Body oil on my skin for the past 4 months. Over this time, I've seen my complexion even, my skin brighten and acne clear up in target areas around my face. I cannot rave enough about this oil. I was worried that with it being an oil it would leave my skin feeling sticky, but it instead feels like it seeps in and leaves my skin feeling soft throughout the whole day. Have had lots of people compliment my skin when using this!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband bought me a selection of Picobello soaps at Christmas. I have very dry, sensitive and eczema-prone skin, so haven't used ordinary soap bars for decades and just recently I've found the gel/liquid hand soaps are not agreeing with my skin either, along with many shampoos. But these soaps are terrific; not drying at all. I've even used the Classic on my hair with no itchy scalp afterwards. Sage & Seasalt and Anise Cinnamon are perfect for the kitchen, where you don't really want a floral or 'perfumey' smell when you're handling food (my other half likes these too for that reason) and the Buzz Off has a zingy lemon fragrance. Oh, and they're long-lasting too if you make sure they don't sit in water between uses.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been using soap bars from Picobello Oils for a few years now and I swear by them. I have dry hands that become extremely chapped during winter; however, since I started to use Picobello Oils soaps I can now get through winter without them chapping. The difference is significant. When you wash your hands with the soap bars they leave a very light, soft residue on your skin, which I believe helps to lock in the moisture. My particular favourites are the stronger scents of Anise & Cinnamon and Minty Mint as they fill the bathroom with fragrance. Highly recommended.
