A Cute Penguin Gift From a Cape Town Soap Maker
Penguin's Cove Soap is the penguin gift for anyone who loves the Cape coast. Each bar shows three black-and-white penguins on a grey shore, a bright blue sea with a small rock and a pale sun setting into a coral sky, so the bar looks as good on a basin as in the box. The scene suits anyone who has watched the African penguins at Boulders Beach, and makes a small taste of home for a South African living abroad. Sending to the far south of the peninsula? See our flower and gift delivery in Simon's Town.
What Penguin's Cove Soap Smells Like: Grapefruit and Lavender
Penguin's Cove Soap smells fresh and bright: grapefruit and litsea cubeba, also called May Chang, at the start, then lavender and geranium, and a soft finish of cedarwood and patchouli. The grapefruit keeps the lavender light, so Penguin's Cove reads clean and citrusy rather than sleepy or powdery. Penguin's Cove suits anyone who wants a lavender soap with a fresh, citrus lift.
Penguin's Cove: A Lavender Soap With Seaweed
Penguin's Cove Soap is a lavender and grapefruit soap. Mi&U makes the bar with virgin olive oil, coconut oil and shea butter, adds a little seaweed powder, and scents the bar with essential oils. The bar is vegan-friendly and free from parabens and phthalates. For a second Mi&U soap with lavender, see the Lavender & Mandarin Blossom Soap.
A Small Gift for a Friend, a Thank You or a Stocking
Penguin's Cove Soap makes a birthday gift for a friend who loves penguins, a thank you for a host or a teacher, or a stocking filler at Christmas. The white Mi&U box means the soap arrives ready to give, and the cute penguin scene suits a woman, a man or a teenager. For a bigger gesture in Cape Town, pair the soap with same-day flower delivery. See all our gifts for her and thank you gifts, read our birthday gifts for her guide, or browse our sustainable gift ideas.
How to Make a Bar of Soap Last
Lather Penguin's Cove Soap on wet hands or a cloth, rinse, then stand the bar on a draining soap dish between washes. Keep the bar out of standing water and away from the running shower. A bar that dries out properly between uses stays firm, and the penguins and the sunset stay crisp for longer.
