Now for my review:

I was given a bar of soap as well as a bottle of lotion, both scented with lavender essential oil.  The bar of soap looks rustic, but beautiful, and was smooth to the touch.  I read the directions (which are important – following them really made a difference in how my skin felt after!!).

The instructions explained that to gain all of the benefits of the oils in the soaps, it should be quickly rinsed off and then dried (so… don’t wash up first in the shower, wash up last).  So… after following the directions, my skin felt FANTASTIC.  Honestly, I didn’t even NEED any lotion at that point.  I did, after getting ready for the day, use the lotion on my hands.  It was equally luxurious and smelled just as wonderful as the soap.

Sometimes when you purchase natural soap, it doesn’t lather as well as conventional soap does.  NOT the case here at all.  It lathered up just fine, and was lovely.  As you use the soap more, you can feel the rice bran a bit more, which works like an exfoliant.  I absolutely loved this soap!!

What I Liked:

1. The smell
2. The feel
3. The hydration
4. The fact that it is TOTALLY safe for everyone in my family

What I didn’t Like:

1. Nothing!
