Just my luck I am going to review this and just realized it must be discontinued. Give the price- not shocking. I'm still gonna review it anyway- just in case they bring it back.
Well Kept claims:
Made from all natural ingredients, this bae soap created light lather that cleanses without stripping. Formulated with coffee seeds to provide gentle exfoliation, this earthy mix of patchouli, black pepper, coriander, and ginger essential oils blend to create and intoxicating aroma
Made in Canada
Luckily I bough this on sale for around $15 but the original list price was over $20. Over $20 for a little bar of fast melting handmade soap is literally insane. The most a bar like this should cost is maybe 6-8 dollars. Maybe $10. There are so many more reasonably priced handmade brands- even some only scented with essential oils. I don't have a direct dupe of this soap- the essential oil blend is nice if you are a patchouli fan. But it smells like a handmade scented soap- it doesn't scent the soap much and it's very light.
Lather is nice. It lathers well and rinses clean. My skin wasn't dry after. It does have coffee in it to provide scrubbiness. They are a scratchy type of scrubby though. Not my favorite in terms of exfoliating soaps but it's what you come across in most soaps.
Like most handmade soaps it melts fast. A drop of water and it's halfway done. Cutting it in half can help. I didn't do so but probably should have.
I do really like the packaging. It's very unique. Just a little baggie that you can re-use. I have a ton of these from things I have bought here and there.....I don't know what it will hold later on but I do know the baggie does smell great! I need to see if I can blend these oils and make a body oil or something.
I don't think the ingredients are listed right but I'll list them as they have them.
Ingredients: Patchouli Essential Oil, Black Pepper Essential Oil, Coriander Essential Oil, Ginger Essential Oil, Sodium Olivate, Sodium Cocotte, Sodium Castor Oil, Sodium Cocoa Butyrate, Sodium Shea Butyrate, Ceramic Alba, Coffee Arabica Seed Powder
Overall, it's nice. But it is well overpriced. I would only buy this again if the price came way down. That's probably why it was discontinued in the first place. I guess it was still nice to try a new to me brand. I see they make sustainable razors that are also expensive. But they sell imperfect ones. If I ever made the switch over- I would look into getting my hands on one at that discounted price.
