Aster Luxury Lime Soap Review

About Lime Soap
This rich lathering Invigorating Lime soap formulated with extra virgin coconut oil and lime extracts revitalise skin. This refreshing sensational bathing bar exfoliates skin and leaves your skin soft and smooth. This soap has distinctive rich aroma of fresh Lime uplifts the mood.


Ingredients:
Coconut Oil, Sorbitol, Castor Oil, Myristic Acid, Stearic Acid, Cocomidol Propyl Betaine Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Lime Essential Oil.

Price: Rs. 150 for 125 gms. soap bar
Shelf Life: 2 Yrs

Packaging: 
The soap comes double-sealed in a transparent sheet so you can see the lovely soap directly from outside even before you could open it. The packaging has sticker with their brand logo on the front and ingredient list at the back of the soap. The brand name is engraved on some of the soaps. 

My views on the product:

Aster Luxury Lime soap is a pretty simple soap bar in light green color. Its not so bright in color and this is what I liked for some unknown reason ;) As I said, the soap is double sealed in a transparent sheet; the moment you tear the outer one, you can sniff the smell immediately. The Lime soap smells energizing and makes your shower experience an enriching one.
The soap is free of paraben and is 100% vegan so can be used by people of all age groups. Though the brand recommends a test if it causes you allergy of any kind.
The texture of soap feels to touch. Upon rubbing on the skin, the soap doesn't give a bubbly bath, but to me its a good thing not to have loads of lather that indirectly indicates use of more surfactants. This soap is a great option for hot summer.
The lather is easy to rinse as well. The soap has moisturizing properties of coconut oil and castor oil, so leaves the skin feel smoother. Its a perk for me because I have dry skin and can't afford to use drying soaps. The soap bar lasts quite long as it doesn't melt very soon, so is a great value for money.

Pros:
No Paraben and Phthalates.
No Animal Ingredients. 
Vegetarian Soap
Liked its color.
Cleanses the skin well.
Mild fragrance.
Retains moisture in skin.
Creamy lather.
Doesn't melt excessively.
Easy online availability.
Cost effective.

Cons:
Not easily available in stores.

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.

Brand Promise:
We prepare our products without using any 'harmful chemical'. We use natural colorants, skin safe fragrances, essential oils, pure carrier oils, clays, herbs, fruits, flowers etc in correct proportion to formulate our products to provide you a safe and healthy daily care, and a toxin-free routine. We do not buy readymade bases of skincare products, add on something, and claim 'handmade'. We prepare each product from scratch, in small batches, so that we use least amount of natural preservatives to reach you safely and remains intact till consumption, ensuring highest quality product for you. We prepare these products at home, as well as cut ,wrap and label at home. You may not find the packaging very attractive like other sellers, but we assure you of a genuine quality product for the price you pay!

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

Aster Luxury Jasmine Soap Review

Hello

Remember I shared my experience with one of the newly launched Bathing Bar from Aster Luxury in Strawberry here. I actually loved using the soap despite strawberry not my very fav fragrance. And then I picked another one from their range i.e. Jasmine variant. Do read to know whether it did what it claimed...

About Jasmine Bathing Bar:
Aster Luxury Jasmine soap bar is made with highest quality natural ingredients, essential oils and extracts. This soap bar gently cleanses the skin and maintains the softness of your glowing skin. Aromatic fragrance of this soap bar is excellent for settling your nerves and relieving stress. Aster luxury soaps do not contain any harsh chemicals and are 100% vegan. All our bathing soaps are good for all skin types. No Paraben. No Phthalates. No animal testing.

Usage:
Firmly hold the aster handmade bathing bar and run all over the wet body. This soap gives good lather that will clean your whole body. Apply lather all over body before showering off.

Ingredients:
Coconut Oil, Sorbitol, Castor Oil, Myristic Acid, Stearic Acid, Cocoamido Propyl Betaine, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Jasmine Fragrance Oil

Price: Rs. 150 each 
Weight: 125 gm
Buy from Amazon, Flipkart.
Packaging: The soap comes double-sealed in a transparent film so you may see the lovely soap color from outside even before you open it. The packaging has label with their brand logo on the front and ingredient list, price details etc at the back of the soap.

The Jasmine soap is a soft translucent bar. You may notice your fingers at the back when you hold it in your hand. (though I could not click that way to show it). The soap bar is twin shaded from light to dark. Unlike the Strawberry soap (that I used earlier), the Jasmine bar doesn't have the brand logo imprinted on it.  
Now I can't stop myself praising for its scent. I am deeply in love with its heavenly fragrance. Its an absolutely treat to me towards rejuvenation. It lathers richer and gently cleanses the skin leaving behind lightly scented soft skin. But it melts slightly more, so ensure drying it out after shower. But the size of soap bar is big enough to last long.

Pros:
No Paraben and phthalates. 
Additive free.
No Animal Testing.
Gentle to skin.
Enthralling fragrance.
Reasonably priced.
Decent lather.
100% vegetarian
Simple packaging.

Cons:
not easily available offline. 

Conclusion.:
Aster Luxury Jasmine Soap can be a suitable addition to your aromatherapy ritual like mine as Jasmine oil is said to be enriched with calming and anti-depressing properties. Its regular usage increases elasticity of skin. The blend of jasmine oil with other oils is capable of stimulating incredible skin benefits.

Soap Opera Frangipani and Cinnamon Soap Review

Hi

Soap Opera, under the brand name of Puresense, is crafting premium body care products like soaps, body washes, shampoos, body mists. I have been using some these products for last few days and also written reviews here and here.

Today I am writing for two of the soaps from the Soap Opera's product range...the Frangipani Soap and the Cinnamon Soap. Both the soaps come wrapped in a thin transparent sheet which is encased in a cardboard packaging similar to the full-sized soap bars. The sample soap bars received by me are of 30 gm each and can be really useful as testers to help you decide if you want to place an order for specific soap after the first time usage.

Frangipani Soap:

This one is a sweet smelling soap of Floral variants by Soap Opera.

 The Soap bar is white in color that has deep crimson yellowish chunks embedded in it.  Like all other soap bars of Soap Opera, this one is also an Oilve Oil rich bathing bar with richness of moisturizing properties.
I smell very distinctive scent in this soap. The soap bar is very mild but originates decent creamy lather.  The li'l bar can last around 8-10 days easily. Its full sized packing of 100 gms is available at Rs 85/- only.

Cinnamon Soap

Cinnamon is one of the strongest aromatic spice which reserves its place in every kitchen. But have you tried this aroma in your bathing essentials ever?? Soap Opera offers fabulous bathing bars in its Spicy variants and Cinnamon bar is one of them. 
The Cinnamon Soap is again blended with finest natural ingredients other than Olive Oil which provide the complete care to skin. Since cinnamon is known for its antiseptic and disinfectant properties, my hubby experimented to use it as shaving bar and liked it that way also. It may not be true for everyone.
I liked the shades of brown smudged on the soap very beautifully. The smell of the soap doesn't linger on too long. So I found the soap suitable for people who don't want to smell like a spice ;) The skin feels deeply cleansed and hydrated that enlivens my senses after shower using this soap. But as per the moisturization requirement of my skin in this winter season, I had to apply body lotion afterwards.

I am sure bathing with Cinnamon soap eradicates germs from top surface of our skin, so the children can also use this soap while bathing after play time to remove dirt n dust from their skin.

Overall Opinion on Soap Opera Soaps
All the exotic soap bars are free of sulphates, parabens, formaldehydes and are totally non-toxic. Every soap bar is enriched with one or the other beneficial characteristic due to all-natural essential oils suited for whole family.
So I will remain dedicated to these natural soap in future to make my skin feel pampered. Do try these chemical-free soaps and stay happy within the skin you are in :)

Soap Opera Orange Soap Review

Hi Everyone,

Its been almost a week that I wrote any new post..nopes! it was not due to my pathetic broadband connection but the weather. The shivering cold at my place got my hands badly swollen and I'm uncomfortable typing due to itching on my fingers :'( Still I managed to start writing today because I am excited to review a brand that I'm loving these days.... I am talking about Puresense by Soap Opera.

About the Brand: 
Puresense is a brand by Soap Opera that has been created on the philosophy of living a life free of toxins. To achieve this objective, Puresense created a wide range of premium quality personal care products which were essentially non-carcinogenic, free from Parabens, formaldehydes and sulphates.
 Puresense currently offers a range of non toxic products including --
  • Fruit Soaps in Orange, Cucumber, Royal Apple, Strawberry variants.
  • Floral Soaps in Rose, lavender, Madhumati, Frangipani variants.
  • Spice Soaps in Green Tea, Cinnamon, Clove, Lemon Grass, Spearmint variants.
  • Bodywashes in Green Tea, Lemon Grass, Spearmint variants.
  • Shampoos in Green Tea, Lemon Grass, Spearmint variants.
  • Bodymists in Vanilla Bloom, Lemony Fresh variants.
  • A Sleep Inducer.

Out of the above non-toxic products, I received this lovely hamper of three soaps from different categories along with a bodymist, shampoo and sleep inducer as well.
And today's post concentrates on Puresense Orange Soap from Fruit Soap category :)

I received the cute n sleek sample pack of the soap which weighs 30g. But the usual soap bar is of 100 gms being sold at a price of Rs 99. I genuinely appreciate Puresense for giving complete detail of ingredients even on the SAMPLE soap packing unlike most brands which lack on this part.

The soap is crafted with high percentage of Olive Oil along with Sodium Palmate, Sodium palm kernalate, Aqua, Sodium cocoyl Isetionate, Fragrance, Ethylene Hydroxydiphosphonate, Sorbitol, Titanium dioxide, Glyceryl stearate, Disodium distyrylbiphenyl disulfonate. These scientific names of the ingredients might confuse you, but actually these are beneficial essential oils extracted from nature.

Talking about the impressive packaging, I loved the way how Puresense wraps the soap bar in thin transparent cling film which peeps out from an external cardboard pack :) An oval sticker bearing the brand name 'Soap Opera' keeps holding the soap bar without letting it slip out from pack.

My Experience: As soon as I unwrapped the packaging, I could not stop smiling at the decently simple square piece of soap bar that looked edible slice of dessert because of orangy chunks in it. The soap also is embossed with the brand name 'Soap Opera' on it. The soap smells somewhat sweet n tangy to me which doesn't causes irritation in my nose.
The soap lathers gently enough when rubbed between palms with water. My skin felt thoroughly cleansed as well as hydrated the dried skin post shower. The mild fragrance could be experienced for quite some time, but doesn't last very long. People who like short-termed perfumes on their body would love this specially.

The richness of Olive Oil provides softness n moisture as it is kind to the skin. The powdered orange peel used to be my favourite home remedy to gain fresh n supple skin years back. I can substitute that with Puresense orange soap now and can enjoy healthy skin.

This soap bar lasted around one week and didn't melt unexpectedly quick. So I can make out that the full-size soap bar won't finish as early as one month or so.


Pros:

1. Gentle on skin.
2. Lathers Well.
3. Doesn't melt easily.
4. Smells Nice.
5. Causes no itching.
6. Suitable for all skin types.
7. Moisturizes sufficiently.

8. Non-Toxic.
9. No Animal derived ingredients.
10. Goodness of Olive oil.

Cons:
Actually Nothing. But may need to apply body lotion during extreme weather conditions.


You may place your order directly from Pusesense's official website or can choose to buy it from other online shopping portal like Nykaa..

Puriso Handcrafted Theobroma Soap Review

Remember my last review post wherein I had mentioned that I got two luxurious soaps from Puriso. See how they looked like when they reached me...
I already shared my thoughts about Puriso Indian Healing Soap here and today's post is about the another handcrafted bathing bar that Puriso sent me i.e Puriso Handcrafted Theobroma Soap. 
The name of this Theobroma soap itself reminds me of chocolates. Chocolates are the UNIVERSAL gift most widely accepted by each n everyone with a smile without any discrimination of age, gender, place, occasion or time. Even the calorie-cautious people don't mind talking a bite secretly to satisfy their craving of chocolates and then feel guilty of their sinful act ;) ha ha ha ... Puriso has given a solution for all chocolate lovers who can't afford to stay away from chocolates by crafting Theobroma Soap :)
The packaging, price and quantity of almost all the soap bars have been kept uniformly similar by Puriso, and I talked at length about all that in my previous post. (So I won't be repeating everything once again in this post to bore you).

Infact the active ingredients are also in sync with other soap bars other than some essential oils, colors and fragrances. This particular soap bar contains Shea Butter other than Vegetable Oil, Soap Base, Cocoa Butter, Vitamin E oil, Essential Oil, Permissible Color n Fragrance.

 The soap bar seems like a slice of chocolate cake served to me and smells deliciously sweet like hot caramel. The kids who run away from moms when its the time to take bath will now be readily standing at the door of washroom for chocolaty bath (like my son did) ;)

This soap bar is seriously a feast for the dehydrated skin coz Shea Butter has the properties to nourish skin with super-rich and creamy moisture. My dry skin got instant relief from the effect of harsh wind as I applied a body lotion on damp skin immediately after shower using this soap as it softens and lubricates the skin.
The delicate scent doesn't lingers on for longer, so the people who love stronger fragrances might need to spray themselves with a fragrance of their choice after bath, but this soap would get a THUMBS UP by those with smell-allergic noses (y)

 The soap doesn't dissolves very quick, so I am expecting one soap bar to last atleast one month or more. The awesome combination of Glycerine content plus Shea butter, Cocoa Butter makes this soap effective with healing properties also.

The crux is that the protective and conditioning qualities of Puriso Handcrafted Theobroma Soap make it an excellent choice for all skin types in every weather condition. Try it to believe it!!

Puriso Indian Healing Handcrafted Soap Review

Santa didn't come to me this Christmas...May be he thought of me being older enough not to expect a gift from him :/ or may be because he sent my gift pack days before ;) Surprised what I'm talking about ... Earlier this month, I got to receive a pack of two luxurious bathing bars from Puriso Soaps.
'Puriso' stands for Purity, Freshness and Oneness with Nature. They are a team of craftsmen who value natural well being and create skin-safe products that look unbelievably beautiful. Each single product signifies a rich amalgamation of Nature, Fragrance and Art as the soaps have nature based ingredients, smell lovely & look pretty.
Today's post will reveal about my experience with one of the bestseller soap bar from Puriso that is 'Indian Healing' .

Packaging: The soap bar comes sealed in a transparent thin plastic sheet like cling film which again is shielded in a external hard plastic cover that replaces the usual cardboard packing as we find on most soap bars available.
Price, Qty & Ingredients: Flip the soap bar backwards to know the price & quantity. Each soap bar weighs 150 gms and is priced at Rs 300 each. You will also find the detailed ingredient list overleaf that reads Vegetable Oil, Soap Base, Cocoa Butter, Vitamin E oil, Neem Oil, Essential Oil, Permissible Color n Fragrance. The Indian Healing soap like all other Puriso soaps is Glycerine based soap that makes it a perfect bath essential to lock moisture in your skin throughout the year specially in Winters. The soap stays fresh till 12 months of its manufacturing.

Availability: The Puriso soaps are widely sold at many popular online websites like Flipkart, Snapdeal, Amazon, Shopclues, Ebay, Discountkart, craftsvilla, ShopHealthy etc. They also have some of their physical stores at Mumbai.

My Take on Indian Healing Soap:
As I had the first glimpse of the Puriso Indian Healing soap, it looked like an edible dessert to me and I felt like digging my teeth into it immediately (but its strictly inedible guys) ;)
The twin hued soap bar in refreshing yellow n green colors is not just bright in looks but as you sniff it once, it takes you on a heavenly ride ... The mildly infused floral aroma of temple flowers within the soap bar instantly evokes your senses. Look at the chunky core part of the soap that shows how Puriso artisans are passionate to give you a visual treat with this soap.



 The soap lathers decently sufficient in water, and I noticed that it work into a richer lather in lukewarm water. Using it in shower promises to rid your skin of dirt and toxins. The rich lathering quality of Glycerin along with the infused Vitamin E, Cocoa butter & Neem Oil protects the skin from getting overly dried after usage and gives optimal shower experience :)

Those who prefer soap bars in handy size can cut it into two halves. I share a secret here with you that I'm in so love with this soap that I wipe it dry after usage to increase its longevity ;) It can be used by people of all ages n genders without any discrimination & is suitable for all skin types.

Yay's 
  • Caressing Ingredients.
  • 100% Vegan & Not Animally Tested.
  • Glycerine Based.
  • Creatively Crafted with Embedded Chunks.
  •  Mild Floral Fragrance.
  • Vast Availability.
  • Suits All Skin Types. (Patch test suggested for people with Sensitive Skin)
  • Skin Safe & Environment Safe 
  • No Chemical Preservatives

Nay's
  • Price is slightly higher (but the core ingredients used in making are really worth its price.. moreover, there are some great deals n discounts on Puriso Soap range on websites).
  • Moisturization needed for people who have excessively dry skin.


The Final Verdict:
Puriso Indian Healing Handcrafted Soap is one of the most luxurious bathing bar I have ever used. It deeply nourishes n cleanses the skin, thereby providing soft skin by attracting moisture to the skin with its Glycerine content.

Ethicare Vizigly+ Transparent Bathing Bar Review

The cold winter weather can wreak havoc on your skin. The most common skin issue for many people is the dryness of skin that occurs when our skin doesn't retain sufficient moisture. One of the probable reason of dryness is to use harsh soaps while bathing. I have seen people who tend to switch to liquid body washes / shower gels in place of soap bars assuming those are milder on skin, but thats not always true.

Today I'm reviewing a soap bat that prevents dryness
and is recommended for the most delicate skin types i.e. Vizigly+ Transparent Bathing Bar from Ethicare Remedies. (You might be wondering why am I so attracted towards Ethicare & Ethinext products, but I promise almost each n every product they create is really skin friendly, so can't just stop talking about them) ;)

Product Claims:
The transparent cleansing bar is the gentle way to cleanse, moisturizes, protect and nourish your skin as vizigly+ contains very high percentage of natural moisturizers, humectants and skin softners. Vizigly+, with this optimum concentration and through its unique combination is ideal for dry, delicate skin as it helps to keep your skin soft, supple and hyderted every time you use Vizigly+.

Vizigly+ is a transparent bathing bar of pale pink color in an unusual yet very cute droplet kind of shape. The 100 gm soap bar is just the apt size that you can hold easily in your hand without any need of cutting it into pieces, coz I find holding the bigger soap bars a bit uneasy. The soap bar has a shelf life of 3 yrs and is priced at Rs. 99.

How I felt after I used Vizigly+?
Before I could decide to use this soap bar, I had been thinking not to use it on my face because almost every soap bar causes me excessive flaky dry skin if I apply it on my face. I began with the use of Vizigly+ on body skin for few days continuously. The gentle moisturizing soap felt so pleasing on my skin with instant softness. It produced profuse n creamy lather that got rinsed very very easily.
I'm in absolute love with the rejuvenating fragrance of Vizigly+ that stays for quite enough time. My husband who is always in favour of soaps possessing stronger fragrances approved this soap with a perfect "YES" ;) Though I have no problem of body odor but I'm sure this soap can battle with bad odor efficiently. Actually, the you can let this soap bar scent your entire washroom area with a refreshing feel !!

The moisturizing preparations of this soap with key ingredients like Glycerine, Aloe vera, Almond oil and Wheat Germ Oil has the ability to soften and recondition the dehydrated skin. The almond oil included in the soap makes it richer in proteins and extremely nourishing. Wheat Germ Oil supports the skin's natural process of regeneration and also helps repair sun damage to the skin. So the Vizigly+ is a combo pack of multiple characteristics for improving skin conditions.

Conclusion:
Vizigly+ is one of the luxurious moisturizing soap bar that leaves your skin soft and smooth.  It is suitable to all skin types including dry n sensitive skin. But the people with extreme dry skin can apply a coat of moisturizer post shower or hand wash to plug the spaces between skin cells and seal in the moisture in damp skin. As you use it for your everyday bathing ritual, I bet you would love to enjoy n relax in a lavish bath.

Do share your views how do you take care of your winter skin ... would love to read :)
Till the next post...See Ya..

Fuschia Camellia Handmade Soap Review

No wonder if I'm posting one more soap review... coz my inclination towards natural soaps is increasing day by day... Its not that my fondness is newly developed, but the point is that I was aware of very few brands (like Soulflower India) selling handmade soaps since many months and have been ordering those for my family till now. Actually I din't even try to find some other brands to experiment with more handmade bath n body essentials. But now I feel myself much knowledgeable about the quality, ingredients, formulation process of natural soaps & so I love reviewing them fairly :)

The Fuschia team from VKare Bio Sciences Ltd. had been really humble to send me a pack of three of their handmade soaps from their Natural Cosmetic Collection few days ago and I've been testing them since then. 

Todays review is on Camellia Handmade Soap.
 
Camellia is also designated as 'tea flower'  and interestingly this soap is also infused with Green Tea extract, glycerin along with camellia oil and other essential aroma oils. The soap bar is neatly sealed in thin transparent plastic sheet and an outer cardboard packing in lovely green recycled paper. Each bar weighs approximately 100 gms and comes with a price tag of Rs 225. I am happy with the reasonable soap size coz those BIGGG bars are difficult to handle (or need to cut into pieces) and I feel bored somehow to use one soap bar for many days :)


Don't get confused to know the soap bar is in shiny green color and not in pinkish red as the camellia flower is. Coz the final color of the soap bar is an outcome of mixing various oils as well as green tea extract.

 My take on Fuschia Camellia Handmade Soap:
Before my first use, the Camellia soap on my palm smelt very dull (almost negligible) and lathered slightly when I rubbed it on my hands with water. But rubbing it only twice or thrice on a loofah generated enough creamy lather to cleanse the body. The light sweet fragrance though doesn't linger on for many hours. It vanishes very soon.

The soap is a bit softer than usual chemical based soaps due to the use of natural oils and its handmade nature. So I took special care to place it in a soap dish with holes or a wired rack in the washroom between uses to allow the soap to dry properly ( I want the soap to last longer).


 The skin feels actually fresh and well moisturized after the usage and clears up excessive oil from skin. Camellia's light herbal scent and vitamin E automatically blocks UV rays and helps skin maintain a healthy pH level. So I would suggest it to be used by those suffering from skin tanning. I'm firmly believing that the anti-oxidant & anti-fungal properties of green tea really work coz I noticed reduction in my body odor too.

Pros:
  • Natural Ingredients including green tea n camellia flower extracts.
  • Looks as shiny as Green Traffic Light ;)
  • No harmful chemicals and artificial scents used.
  • Causes no tight feeling or itching on skin.
  • Can treat minor insect bites n sun burns etc.
  • Decent Size.

Cons:
No reason to dislike the soap (provided the packaging is improvised with detailed list of ingredients on it)

Final Words:
The extremely moisturizing Fuschia Camellia Handmade Soap is the easiest way to enjoy the skin beautifying n skin nourishing properties of Green Tea and Camellia in routine bath rituals. The soap is advisable to people of all skin types, but it will provide calming effect especially for dry and irritated skin.
