Australian Botanical Soap Lemongrass Soap Bars, 6.6 oz., Pack of 8

The simple, beautiful advertising and favorable reviews first got me interested in trying this soap. I love trying out new soaps and have a full closet that is dedicated to the soaps I purchase. Lemongrass and Lemon Myrtle was the first scent I purchased from Australian Botanical Soap. I judge bared soap on 5 areas (see other soap reviews) and found the soaps from Australian Botanical Soap wonderful. Physical Shape and Size: The shape of the bar is a little thick, but perfect hand size. The ends of the rectangular bar might appear sharp, but they give pleasantly when wet and round off quickly making it easily used for gliding on body curves and nooks. User friendly right out the box. 4.5 of 5 stars here. Lathering Capabilities: The bar is not a heavy bubbly lather. I have used this bar only in soft water conditions and the lather is light and fairly creamy. It washes away easily, leaving a clean and soft feel. Lather comes down to preference, and though I like a little more lather than this bar gives the rich triple milled quality lets me make an exception to my preference. 4 of 5 stars. Scent: Australian Botanical Soap does it right (at least for the Lemongrass and Lemon Myrtle scent). It smells exactly like I thought it would, or it should, with a strong naturally lemongrass/lemon myrtle aroma that fills the shower and is light on your skin. Not enough to interfere with your favorite cologne or perfume, but not too weak, that if you go aux natural, you would not smell delightfully organic and clean. 4 of 5 stars. Skin Hydration: I have normal skin type and tend to get oily skin in the T-zone of my face. I also live in a desert, so, even with normal skin hydration, I have to pay extra attention to how soaps and lotions hydrate my skin. Unfortunately, despite high prices and brand names, many soaps leave my skin dry. Australian Botanical Soap was average with moisturizing my skin. The bar did not fully dry out my skin, but I did have to apply moisturizer creams on face and body after the shower though missing this step was not unbearable. 2.5 of 5 stars. Soap Quality: This soap is a nice 6.6oz (187g). It holds up pretty well in soft and semi-hard water conditions lasting up to a month and some days depending on your lathering preferences. Compared to other bar soaps, these bars wear down less than most others I have used both commercial and exclusive. And though this is hard to gauge as soap usage per person is different, there are two of us using the bar; I am a fair latherer; I take longer showers; and I assure my entire body is meticulously clean. With these factors, Australian Botanical Soap bars have lasted a month in harsher water conditions and a month and about 8 days in soft water conditions. 4 of 5 stars. With my five-aspect bar soap judging criteria out of the way, I did want to speak to some other aspects of this product. It comes packed in a cardboard box with the company logo on it and other soap/company information. The rich beautiful aroma of lemon grass is still present even after having some of the bars for over a year. Each bar is individually labeled, but each bar is not wrapped in the cardboard box (see picture). such. Australian Botanical Soap points out that their product contains no harsh chemicals, has a natural plant derived glycerin content with organic shea butter, triple milled, pure plant oil used for fragrance, no animal testing and the company is family owned. I highly recommend Australian Botanical Soap. They are quality, reasonably priced bars that bring aspects of luxury soap bars to an everyday utility bar. I look forward to trying other fragrances by this company. Seeing the concerns with dyes, the Lemongrass with Lemon Myrtle has titanium dioxide (which is a naturally occurring mineral), Mineral pigment (naturally occurring), and Iron Oxide (also naturally occurring and beneficial to skin) for its coloration. I can only speak for this fragrance, but according to the label, all ingredients are naturally occurring.

These bars are lovely. They smell great and lather well, leaving a luscious but not overpowering smell on your skin. The bars last a long time, like a good tripple milled soap, and have a luxurious creamy feel. They don't seem to dry my skin out, though I wouldn't say I end up particularly moisturized. They are a little expensive compared to supermarket brands, but they are worth it if you love nice soap, and you can certainly pay more than these for nice soap! The skimp on packaging, as each soap comes unwrapped, and is touching other, differently scented soaps, so that is my only criticism. They could at least do a paper separator (parchment or waxed would be best).

As advertised! Excellent soap, lathers well, smells great. Leaves you feeling very clean and refreshed!

I’ve tried several of these and have repurchased many times. My favorites so far are the Manuka Honey & Jojoba and Tea Tree & Sage. I also really like the plain Goat’s Milk & Soya one. My least favorite was the Pink Lychee & Paw Paw. It smells too floral and perfume-like for my taste. These bars are large and finely milled. They lather well and last far longer than regular bar soaps. I would like to sample others but I don’t want to order the sample pack due to my son having a pretty extreme allergy to Lemongrass (which is part of the sampler). It would be nice if you could put together a sampler pack of ones you’d like to try. Overall, these are my go-to soaps and I highly recommend!

I love this bar soap! This bar is large, lightly scented and I really like the scent. This bar soap is so soft that it feels like silk and lathers up great! I decided to try this soap because I have super sensitive skin. Most body washes, even designed for dry sensitive skin still leaves my skin dry, itchy and irritated. This bar soap is perfect for my skin type. I’ve had No itching, irritation or dryness from using this soap. One reason I don’t like bar soap is because they always leave a white soap film on my skin but this one doesn’t. I will purchase this soap again. I bought this sandlewood/cocoa butter and I bought two other kinds from this company. I love the handmade look and colors of the soaps so I got some to put in my guest rooms. I put some in the apothecary jars that I keep bar soaps for guests and they look really nice plus I know my guests will love these soaps also.

I do really like this product, especially this variety pack. Soap is moisturizing, long lasting, but I took off one star because I don't see an option without goat milk. I'm trying to keep all my products vegan and animal friendly and would prefer to have this product, but without goat milk.

This is my new favorite soap! I usually go for an evergreen scent or something in the patchouli family. But I’m a sucker for lychee, and had to give it a try. It’s a very calming and sweet smell, and leaves my skin feeling clean as a whistle.

Last a long time. I love the smell of it. There is no residue on your skin. You just feel clean.

Love the smell good value

Good soap

Will be using this soap on subscription that’s how much I love it.

Quick delivery,quality product. It smells amazing and worth the purchase.

I am so impressed with this soap! It smells amazing and lasts a long time! Great value and good quality! I am disappointed that I can’t buy the raspberry scented in a large quantity!
