Sheer Care Butter Milk Soap Review

Hi Everyone

I have not been writing much this month for many reasons....some personal preferences, term exams of my son and professional commitments as well. So today I am here to write for another luxurious bathing bar. Remember I shared with views on a handmade soap i.e. Little Hearts Soap by Sheer Care few days back. That soap got over recently and I felt so bad about it because I swear it was the best soap I used till date. But at the same time, I was excited to try out another lovely soap from Sheer Care i.e.  Butter Milk Soap. And now get ready to know how it treated my skin...

Product Info:
Butter milk softens, brightens and exfoliates the skin to give it a youthful glow. A mild bathing bar with the goodness of butter milk and high content of olive oil, creates a rich creamy lather to soothe skin conditions. It is suitable for all skin types.

Ingredients:
Saponified canola oil, palm oil, coconut oil, castor oil, buttermilk, water, red clay, almond powder, kaolin clay, sandalwood powder, Vinegar.
Price: Rs 340
Weight: 170 gms

Packaging :ButterMilk soap comes wrapped in a transparent sheet. There are labels on either sides of packaging stating the soap name and its detailed ingredients with price etc.
My experience:
The Buttermilk soap is prominently a brown color soap bar. The soap has multicolored stcks on it due to colors that its major ingredient have rendered it. You may clearly make out the presence constituents like kaolin clay, red clay etc. unlike most commercially available soaps; so I am completely trusting what all has gone into the making of the soap.
The soap looks jumbo size when you hold it in your hand so I didn't mind cutting it into two halves and saving one of the piece for later usage. The soap is quite soft in texture as well as gentle on skin. I can't stop admiring the inclusion of so many base oils in the recipe that make the soap so rich to make skin feel super moisturized. The soap feels so mild on skin that I may recommend it to those with sensitive skin too.  
Now talking about its fragrance, the soap has very faint scent which you cannot smell without a close sniff. I wish it were a bit stronger for making the shower more refreshing. This completely natural soap manages to provide soft lather that cleanses the skin really well. 
An interesting incident happened when my son was bathing with this soap for the first time as he always insists to be the first user of any soap before I use them for reviews ;) The soap gives lather of somewhat dark red color  (probably due to red clay) on rubbing on skin. So the brat played the prank with me shouting from inside the bathroom "mumma, my hand is bleeding." And as I rushed in, he grinned n said "this soap foams in red color" that eventually turn into usual white..
Then, on my own usage, I loved its velvety feel on my skin which didn't exaggerated the dryness on my skin. The soap is so easy to rinse as well. After a regular use of few days, the soap softens the rough spots on skin n you would see quite a glow in skin. The buttermilk also treats age spots, soothes damaged skin and sloughs away dead cells. 
Pros:
Natural ingredients.
No animal testing.
Loaded with many nourishing oils.
No artificial perfumes or colorants.
No preservatives.
Looks pretty.
Reasonable priced for its ingredients.

Cons:
I wish the soap be a bit harder as it tends to crack due to extreme weather conditions and should smell little stronger. (but that makes no effect on its fab performance.)

To conclude, I must say this soap is crafted with best of natural ingredients and is wonderfully nourishing for all skin types. Even if you are not fond of drinking buttermilk, put it to use externally and your skin will be grateful to you.

Sheer Care Little Hearts Soap Review

Hello 

I find anything in heart shape so cute and adorable, be it a piece of jewelry, print on an outfit, a candy or even a soap bar ;) How exciting it is to imagine yourself holding a beautiful bathing bar with little hearts imprinted on it. This is something I felt when I received a lovely handmade soap from a natural skin care brand Sheer Care.

Product Info: 
These little hearts on soap and mild fragrance,with the goodness of nourishing oils like olive,rice bran,sunflower,etc is a perfect sweet gift for anyone on any occasion.
Ingredients: 
Castor oil, coconut oil, olive oil, palm oil, rice bran oil, sunflower oil, beeswax, water, red clay, pink clay, activated carbon.

Price: 150/-
Weight: 75 gm
Packaging :
Little Hearts soap comes wrapped in a cling sheet. There are labels on either sides of packaging stating the soap name and its detailed ingredients with price etc.

Appearance:
The soap bar is designed with cute little hearts embossed with so much of delicacy. The tricolor soap bar in the first appearance reminds you of a tasty sandwich ;) Why?? because the soap bar is a triple layered soap with offwhite base, green center and the top layer with heart designed on it.
Texture:
The soap bar is so creamy that the moment I unwrapped and took it out,  I had a feeling of holding a soap dipped in oil. (But no worries, it actually has no excessive oily feel on usage.)

My Experience:
The Little Hearts soap is a clay based soap with a generous mix of multiple essential oils. The soap has no artificial fragrance, but a natural smell of a combination of its ingredients. It didn't feel that floral feminine one, but truly an invigorating aroma. Also the smell doesn't lasts as soon as you rinse the skin up.
The clay is believed to absorb oil from skin surface without excessively drying it. The pink clay gently draws out the impurities from skin and soften the skin. This soap is especially suited to my dry skin type but also works well as a face and body soap for most skin types.
Its silky lathers doesn't feel extremely soapy on skin that required lot of rubbing to rinse it out. Just few splashes of water with soft touch to your skin in enough to cleanse the skin. The rich blend of oils with red clay genuinely kept my skin exfoliated and even worked on lightening tanned areas of my neck. So I am expecting a better skin toned after some more days of using this soap.
Most amazingly, unlike most facewashes/facial soap require me to apply moisturizer/lotion post shower, I dont use any after using this soap and still my skin feels happy and purified.

Pros:
Beautifully crafted.
Blend of essential oils.
Uses clays as natural detoxifiers.
Lightens tanning.
No drying formula.
Suits most skin types.
Smells fine.
Easy to rinse.

Cons:
I wish if the packaging could be improved a bit to keep the soap in a cardboard box to avoid disfiguring such pretty soaps made with loads of effort.

To sum it up, I would say the Little Hearts soap bar by Sheer Care is one of the best handmade, organic, all natural cold process soap bar on this planet that provides most supplements to your skin. It is slightly expensive, but I don't mind paying few bucks extra for its excellent ingredients
