*Malbec Wine Soap Scented or Non-Scented
$10.00
Malbec is a red wine imported from Mendoza, Argentina, located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. The region’s high altitude is ideal for cultivating Malbec grapes, which produce thicker grape skins compared to most other grape varieties. This thicker skin leads to higher concentrations of resveratrol, a polyphenolic compound known to reduce dark spots, support wound healing, and protect against photoaging. Malbec wine is also rich in tannins, which benefit the skin by acting as potent natural antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, and antimicrobials. They help tighten pores, reduce oiliness, and promote healing, and are especially effective for acne-prone or oily skin due to their astringent properties. This specialized soap uses the high tannin and polyphenolic levels inherent to Mendoza Malbec to deliver skin-nourishing benefits, available scented or unscented.
Key benefits of this combination include:
- Resveratrol Power: The thick skins of Malbec grapes from the Andes create a high concentration of resveratrol, a polyphenol that protects against photoaging, aids wound healing, and reduces dark spots.
- Respiratory Support: Eucalyptus is highly effective at clearing nasal passages, reducing mucus, and aiding in breathing.
- Immune System Boost: Clove oil, specifically its component eugenol, has demonstrated strong antiviral properties, making this blend excellent for fighting colds and influenza.
- Mood Elevation & Stress Reduction: Bergamot acts as a sedative to the senses, helping to reduce anxiety and stress.
- Antibacterial/Cleansing: The combination is used in diffusers or cleaners to refresh, disinfect, and create a spa-like, invigorating environment
Varieties & Usage:
Scented or Unscented soap offers the same maximum hypoallergenic, skin-friendly benefits. Both are suitable for daily use on the face, hands, and body. And both have the same high-quality ingredients. Unscented soap is beneficial for babies, especially newborns, because their sense of smell has not yet developed and can be overwhelmed by strong fragrances, which can potentially harm their developing lungs or increase the risk of skin irritation from perfumes.
The healthiest soap to use is usually a natural soap that doesn’t contain harsh chemicals, dyes, or synthetic fragrances that are irritants. Choosing soaps with moisturizing ingredients is especially beneficial for dry skin because these ingredients are hygroscopic, drawing and retaining moisture from the environment and increasing hydration.

Fresh & Natural Ingredients
Size: 4oz / 113g
Ingredients:
coconut, olive, castor, almond, &grapeseed oils, kaolin clay, blended essential oils, Catena Malbec Wine, mallotus philippensis herb powder, distilled water, food-grade Sodium Hydroxide
- Coconut, olive, almond, grapeseed, and castor are super oils rich in nutrients and vitamins A-K, providing protection against the sun’s harmful UVA & B rays, retaining glow, tightening skin, treating acne, and delivering a moisturizing, creamy lather.
- Kaolin clay is the oldest clay used in many personal hygiene products. It is gentle and stimulates circulation to the application areas without over-drying.
- Mallotus Philippensis is an herb powder from India that adds color to our soap. Malloutus, or “monkey face,” is a flowering tree whose fruit is used as a parasite for skin issues like scabies or ringworms, against dandruff, and as a natural conditioner for hair.
- Malbec wine enhances hydration and reduces redness and itchiness, resulting in stronger and more elastic skin. An added benefit is the grape seed's chlorophyll, an antioxidant that supports and nourishes skin cells. It also encourages the regeneration of damaged tissue and restores the skin's ability to retain moisture.
- Essential oil blend creates a synergistic effect that is more powerful than that of a single oil. Singular essential oils are one-dimensional. However, when essential oils are blended, the healing effects of each oil work in tandem, creating a more powerful impact that enhances the synergy of the individual oils and provides a high degree of healing and therapeutic benefits. The oils used in this wine soap are bergamot, eucalyptus, and clove. This blend combines top, middle, and low notes, creating a symphony of benefits that is three times greater.
- Food-grade USP sodium hydroxide is a strong alkaline compound used to saponify soap. It is also used in food processing, such as curing olives and making toothpaste, as well as giving German Bagels a shine. This same lye turns oils into soap. When an acid and a base (oil/fat) combine, they neutralize each other and make a salt called “Soap.”
- Distilled water is purified to remove minerals and metals that can contaminate soap, developing what is known as “soap scrum”. This is what leads to ineffectiveness and a shorter shelf life. Using distilled water is a better ingredient when purity, consistency, and control over variables are important.
Usage Tips:
- It can be used on both the face and body.
- For best results on dark spots, leave the lather on for a few minutes to act as a mask
