Mysterious mint and crisp apple soap

It’s not really a Demon; it’s more of an earthy tingly delight for the skin and a wicked refreshment for the senses. Wrapped in a layer of black wax, (which you peel off before you use it, or you won’t get clean!), underneath lies a forest green cleansing treat to suds up dirt-demons. We make it with fresh mint and antioxidant-rich fresh organic apple juice to stimulate the surface of the skin and leave it brighter and cleaner. We then perfume it with invigorating peppermint, stimulating spearmint and warming clove bud. Let it unleash the power within you!

Features

  • Double mint: Spearmint and peppermint oils are twice as nice at cooling the skin and making it tingle.
  • Get Juicy: Fresh apple juice refreshes and gently cleanses the skin.
  • Stimulate your senses: Our fresh and minty soap is a demon at cleaning you up.

Customer Review

from OMG Christine
"I like this soap better than its other minty counterpart, ice blue, for two reasons: Firstly, it lasts a very long time! I can make a quarter pound lump last for six weeks or more. Secondly, the clove oil is VERY soothing on sore feet and numbs away all the owies. If ...more"

I was able to check this product out in-store before buying it. If you have a Lush store in your location, I highly recommend checking this soap out before buying it as well. The reason I say this is because of the smell: it is not unpleasant, but it is not for everyone. I liked it because to me it smells clean, however the mix of mint and clove can come off almost like the smell of black licorice. However, the performance from this product is top notch. The lather from the soap is amazing. It is so foamy (almost like a shaving cream), and it leaves your skin feeling soft without feeling oily. It also rinses off easily, and is great at cleaning off dirt and grime. Another feature that I find a plus [but others may not] is that the smell does not stay on my skin. I use high end perfumes, and I don't like the smell of the soaps and lotions I use to conflict with the smell of the perfume. So basically, I can enjoy the smell in the shower without having to smell like it all day. I use this as a hand soap and in the shower, and it is great for both. I highly recommend this product.

This soap smells exactly like toothpaste, so if thats your thing go at it.At first sight, Demon in the Dark looks pretty intriguing. All dark and alluring. Anything that looked that mysterious can surely justify the [$] a quarter pond or something like that. After taking it home there was minor unamusment with taking off the wax. The soap hot gotten wet before we realized we were suppose to take the wax off. Maybe this caused most of my issues but it did not come off easily. To add to it, you pay for the weight of the soap so you're basically paying for a small percentage of something you're not going to be using.The smell become much more potent in the shower. Toothpaste was not exactly what I hoped to smell like. The smell doesn't last once you get out of the shower -- which was a good thing for me but maybe not for someone else who might actually like it.Lathers well, not drying, not greasy. Might be great to use on feet but that is about it.Final words: Toothpaste. Meh.

This product smelled amazing and the scent lasted a while as well. However, when I went to rub my hands together to wash them, my hands sorta stuck together. I don't know what that was all about, but I'm sure to buy this product again!

    Comments about LUSH Demon In The Dark:

    Before LUSH, I was anti-bar soap. Any kind of bar soap. HATED it. Even the fancy, expensive kind left a residue I could feel. But Demon in the Dark was forced on me by a friend, and I am SO GLAD. The smell is AMAZING, so crisp and invigorating and sensual. It lathers really well, especially with a loofah and the smell stays with me for hours (I know some reviewers disagree, but I could smell it throughout the day. That was part of the appeal). The wax is frustrating, but as long as the bar isn't melty or wet when you go to peel, it isn't that big of a deal. And: no sticky residue. Just a pleasant smelling-clean. I love it so much.

I love that you can mostly smell mint on it. The ONLY complaint I have is having to peel off that black wax! it got all under my fingers. But it's a small price to pay for all that loveliness!

    Comments about LUSH Demon In The Dark:

    I absolutely love this soap-- it smells great, and it really leaves your skin feeling clean and tingly. However, if you have sensitive skin, I wouldn't recommend using it on your face. Also, the black wax can be a little bothersome, but I find that if you don't leave the soap in a consistantly damp environment (ex, IN your shower), you can just use the soap til it wears down to the wax and just throw that out.

Took a bit to get foamy and the small piece got very soft once it hit the water. Maybe I got a dud, but I won't be purchasing.

      When I can afford it, I use it every day. I do not remove 1 layer of the wax because it keeps the soap from intact ~ and I don't drop the soap in the shower. Its a great soap for my sons because they have sensitive skins and their rashes are not irritated by this soap. I love my showers with the Demon!!!

      This soap is absolutely stunningly gorgeous - the next time I buy it it'll be for the guest bathroom. It's got a really unique, subtle smell, something of mint and woodsiness. It lathers really well and has lasted me over a month now. My only real gripe is the layer of wax on the outside. How do you get it off? Why is it there? It just makes this soap really hard to use and give as a gift.

      This soap is absolutely wonderful. It smells much milder than the description would lead you to believe but it smells so good!!!! Its a bit sweeter than just mint with a little bit of the apple coming through. If you only peel a little of the wax off at a time, it will last FOREVER. The only reason I am not buying this again is because its difficult to carry soap from your dorm room to the shower every day in a shower caddy, so I am switching to a gel.

      I love love love this soap!! I recommend it to all my friends that struggle with oily skin and acne problems. I personally enjoy the crisp minty smell and it even help open up the sinuses during allergy season. I know it is never recommended but I also use it to wash my face, I have frightfully oily skin and this helps soak up some oil. However, I don't live anywhere near a lush store so I have to ship everything that's my only negitive.

        Soap, to me, is "yes mmhmm, okay, whatever" I generally don't like the smell entirely, and I don't care for how it feels on my skin. This however, is breakthrough for me (to the point where I find an excuse to take an extra bath or shower just to use it). It cleans incredibly, and even when I'm not using, I will go out of my way to smell it. Perfection :)

          At first, the appearance and description of Demon made me a bit wary about trying it (but with a name like that, I couldn't help it!). Once it got here, I felt silly for doubting it. The bar lasted for what seemed like forever, and the scent is amazing without being overpowering. Considering that I caught my boyfriend using it a few times, I would recommend it as a great unisex scent.

          I could see how, if you're not crazy about mint or apple (I am, though), the scent might take a little getting used to, but, nevertheless, it's an outstanding soap.

            I bought this soap a little unsure. This is the 1st product I have ever bought from any lush stores. What drew me in was the look of it-its just plain cool, and also the scent. I don't like overpowering perfume scented type things, but this isn't one of them. The smell is minty and fresh. It really smells like mint leaves picked fresh from the outside. I didn't notice it lather a lot, but it still cleaned well. As well as regular cleaning, I also used this for shaving my legs. It was moisturizing and left my skin really cleaned and refreshed feeling. It did not leave any filmy, dry, or harsh residues like other soaps I have used. While a little pricey, this soap is worth it. My only con is that when used everyday, it disappears quickly.

              My old roommate used to use this, I tried it a couple times. It wasn't horrible, and it did smell good, but I feel as though the smell would be better suited for a man. It didn't irritate my sensitive skin which is a plus, and it lathered/cleaned very well. It didn't remove all my makeup, which is another reason I feel this would be better suited for a man. I'm going to be picking some of this up for my husband this weekend.

                I used it in the shower after buying a whole bar. The smell is minty and every once in a while I detect the apple through the overpowering mint. The soap is pretty, and I feel clean, so that is a plus. I probably won't buy it again. I just kind of want to give sample to my friends and use it up so I can get to the scents i really like. Guess I am just more of a citrus person.

                I sought out this soap after merely reading a description of the scent - both minty AND fruity. When I smelled it in the store, I couldn't wait to use it. The first problem was the wax. You can't really peel it away with your fingers, so I used a knife. I wound up cutting away too much and wasting too much of this expensive indulgence. Then there were little wax bits that come off in the shower and make a mess - and probably gunk up the drain. I loved the minty feel on my skin, but it produced very little lather (more like a slime), and the fragrance didn't linger on my skin after the shower.

                  Why is it wrapped in wax? None of the others are (as far as I know), why this one?

                    A:

                    The Demon In The Dark is wrapped in wax purely for decorative purposes, same as Honey I Washed The Kids soap with the beeswax.

                    It could have to do with the production. It may be unmanageable before it's hardened with the large chunks in it. That's a good question though. I'm sure it wouldn't be there if it weren't necessary.
