I personally am very fond of beautiful soap and I doubly love them when they are handmade and scented. They are tiny bits of luxury every woman and man should have. I was given the opportunity to review several bars of The Joy of Soap and was quite excited to see what the soaps were all about. "The Joy of Soap is natural soap that is hand crafted, hand cut and hand wrapped in small batches, using certified organic oils, therapeutic grade essential oils and ingredients that are gentle on your skin". I was delighted when I received three bars of soap to review. I love the packaging of their bars of soap. The soap comes in a 100% muslin bag, which are reusable. Their shipping materials are made from recycled and recyclable materials. I truly like when I see a company that is Eco-Friendly and I am also very impressed with their Green Practices page.
Peppermint Passion: Even though I love all the other scents, I do have to admit that the Pepermint Passion (the "hot" pairing of peppermint and spearmint) was one of my favorites. When I washed my hands with it, I could feel the little prickles on my fingers, which made them feel relaxed and totally at ease.
Feeling Frisky : "classic scent, this clever mixture of tangerine, grapefruit and lime with calendula flower petals evokes the sensation of an invigorating spa treatment". The minute I opened the bag, I could smell the scent immediately. The scent was soft and refreshing. It made my skin feel soft and smooth.
Manly Man Soap: Yep, made especially for a man, but still soft and gentle for women. Ok, my husband tried this soap and he loves it and I did tested it too. Who said because it is meant for a man that I can't try it. "Light scents of sweet orange bring cheer and happiness to the mind. It is then mixed with the astringent benefits of tea tree oil and a touch of pumice to smooth out those (manly) rough edges". Just perfect.
Here is a little bit more about The Joy of Soap: "All of our moisturizing spa soaps begin with a base of organic olive, coconut, and palm oils plus castor oil mixed with therapeutic grade essential oils and exfoliants. Our soaps are great for all skin types, and they are hand cut so the exact weight of each bar may vary slightly". After trying all three bars of soap, I must say that I truly enjoyed them all. I would definitely recommend them for anyone to give as a gift or if you just want to pamper yourself once in a while.
