### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Natural and foams very well, easy to rinse.
*by J***A on 25 November 2025*

Just what I needed. All natural no harsh chemicals

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Supreme… sumptuous… soapy sensation❣️
*by E***A on 16 October 2022*

If you’re expecting your conditioned idea of soap manufactured as a block for “cosmetic” purposes… then this will disappoint you… but if you uncondition your mind & approach this soap from a “beginner’s mind” perspective… as if you’ve never known soap before… then you will be impressed. I’ve suffered symptoms of eczema for decades & could never use any soap product. This is the 1st time I’ve used a soap product and that not only does it not dry out my skin… it does not cause any irritation either. With a sumptuous & rich lather & evidently deep cleanse… my skin feels moisturised & smooth to the touch. I’ve ditched all chemical & toxic cleansers for my skin… & hair… this makes a brilliant shampoo also… together with my pure organic almond oil conditioner & moisturiser my locks are looking luscious. Yes the bucket contains crumbly pieces but I just add a minuscule amount of water & it forms a permanent solid right until the soap eventually disappears with use. I bought a dark marble soap dish to show off the soap… as using a light or white coloured dish highlights the brown liquid residue that can remain in use which looks a bit messy & unsightly. So if you’re looking for a natural soap product that does 100% what soap & cleaners should do… then you need look no further!!!
