One With Nature Lavender Soap Ingredients

Overall Rating: ★★★★★
Price: $ (under $10) – Available at OneWithNature.com
Scent: Pure lavender
I like: the wonderful scent of pure lavender, pure plant-based ingredients, gentle on skin
Not a fan of: nothing. This is a lovely all-natural triple-milled soap ideal for all skin types.

One With Nature’s Lavender Triple Milled Soap gently cleanses all skin types using only plant-based ingredients, which include argan oil and Dead Sea minerals. The bar itself is firm, heavy and smells of pure lavender. Because it is triple-milled, the One With Nature soap lasts longer than most bar soaps, which typically degrade quickly. You can count on this soap to last a few weeks with normal use. At just under five dollars, One With Nature’s Lavender Triple Milled Soap is an exceptional value.

Overall Rating: ★★★★☆
Price: $$ ($10-$20) – Available at Vitacost.com and iHerb.com.
Scent: Tropical passion fruit
I Like: the light texture of the body wash. Effectively cleans. Cruelty free.
Not a fan of: the synthetic fragrance ingredients.

Alba Botanica’s Hawaiian Passion Fruit Body Wash effectively cleans without leaving your skin overly dry. The body cleanser has a relatively intense tropical fragrance – something to keep in mind if you’re sensitive to strong scents. However, the smell doesn’t linger after washing. This product does not produce a lot of lather, but it does leave you feeling island fresh. Alba Botanica’s Hawaiian Passion Fruit Body Wash is certainly worth trying if you’re seeking a reasonably priced tropical-scented body wash.

South of France Orange Blossom Honey Bar Soap Ingredients List

Overall Rating: ★★★★½
Price: $ (under $10) – Available at Drugstore.com, LuckyVitamin.com, and iHerb.
Scent: sweet orange blossoms.
I like: the springtime aroma of orange blossoms and the soap’s ergonomic shape. This soap gently cleans without drying the skin.
Not a fan of: nothing.

South of France’s Orange Blossom Honey Bar Soap is a sweet-smelling, gentle body cleanser that is a pleasure to use.  Its ergonomic shape makes it easy to grasp while bathing.  Sadly, I’m very clumsy with bar soaps – they often slip through my fingers in the shower and get chipped or dented.  Luckily, this was not the case with the South of France bar soap.  The uplifting orange blossom scent left me wanting to take a longer shower.  The soap stays firm and doesn’t overly soften up like many other bar soaps do.  At less than five dollars, South of France’s Orange Blossom Honey Bar Soap is a fine value for a great body cleanser.

Kiss My Face Olive & Lavender Bar Soap Ingredients

Overall Rating: ★★★★★
Price: $ (under $10) – Available at Kiss My Face, Amazon, and Vitacost.
Scent: Subtle lavender.
I like: the large size, relaxing scent, value, natural ingredients.
Not a fan of: nothing. 

We absolutely enjoy using Kiss My Face products and this huge, naturally scented block of soap is no exception.  Reasonably priced at three to four dollars, the Kiss My Face Olive & Lavender Bar Soap lasts approximately one month with regular bath or shower use.  The soap mildly cleanses without over-drying the skin, while the subtle lavender scent temporarily transports you to the South of France.  We recommend this bar for body cleansing as it could dry the face.  Smart, value-minded skin care enthusiasts will appreciate this lovely soap!

Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser Ingredients List

Overall Rating: ★★★★☆
Price: $ (under $10) – Available at Drugstore.com, Walgreens, and Ulta.
Scent: hard to describe “masking fragrance.”
I Like: how relatively gentle the cleanser is.  Low foaming.
Not a fan of: the sodium laureth sulfate and paraben ingredients.  Don’t care for the synthetic scent.

Cetaphil’s Daily Facial Cleanser is a good face wash to start with if you’re new to skin care.  It’s fairly inexpensive and much gentler on your skin than your typical bar soap.  This product is made for people with normal to oily skin, so if you have overly-sensitive skin, then I suggest using a face wash that is fragrance-free and made without sodium laureth sulphate, a known skin irritant.  What I like most about Cetaphil’s Daily Facial Cleanser is that it’s a clear, low-foaming gel that doesn’t dry out the skin too much.  I found the synthetic fragrance a little off-putting, but not unbearable.  Give this product a try if you’re tired of using that bar of Dial on your face.
