Athletes are among the biggest fans of our organic eco-friendly solid soaps — for their compact size, their powerful cleansing and deodorizing effect after working out, their zero-waste format, and above all, their versatility.
That’s why we decided to take it one step further and focus specifically on sport. The result? Our first-ever eco-soap formulated for athletes: Essabó Sport. A soap designed to support muscle recovery after physical activity.
Powerful, natural recovery support
What makes it special is its exclusive formula: our expert soapmakers have blended the base of our oversaturated soaps made from coconut and olive oils with active ingredients specifically chosen to help relax the muscles and revitalize the body after exercise.
Key active ingredients
Essabó Sport contains magnesium salts, which help relax muscles and relieve post-exercise discomfort. It’s refreshing effect comes from natural menthol.
Menthol doesn’t just cool the skin — several studies suggest it may help reduce exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). It’s even been proposed that menthol could help improve lower-body power recovery after intense physical strain, making it a promising ally for post-workout care.
The cooling sensation of menthol on the skin also provides a natural analgesic effect that’s deeply comforting for tired or overworked muscles.
Magnesium salts, another key ingredient, are among the most important minerals in the human body. On the skin, they help restore epidermal homeostasis — essentially rebalancing and repairing the skin barrier. This can have a positive impact on certain inflammatory skin conditions.
In the world of sports, magnesium salts are a trusted natural remedy for sore joints and muscles. Since they absorb quickly through the skin, they’re especially beneficial after intense exercise or overexertion.
Is Essabó Sport just for athletes?
Absolutely not! You don’t have to be a fitness enthusiast to benefit from this aromatic soap. Here are just a few other ways to enjoy it:
- Tired legs or varicose veins? Essabó Sport supports blood circulation and reduces swelling in the legs thanks to its menthol content.
- Post-hike foot bath: After a long walk, soak your feet with Essabó Sport. The blend of menthol and magnesium salts will leave them feeling brand new.
- Sensitive to heat? On hot summer days, Essabó Sport is your go-to for a refreshing, revitalizing shower.
Its gentle foam and nourishing coconut and olive oil base make Essabó Sport not only ideal for athletes, but a great tool for preventative body care — especially during the warmer months, when our bodies and skin need extra support to cope with rising temperatures and the effects of climate change.
