Pre de Provence Artisanal French Soap Bar Enriched With Shea Butter, Sage, 250 Gramme

But as it has some significantly harder particles, it is not particularly smooth

The exfoliating bits leave my soap dish really messy but the smell and longevity of the soap makes up for it.

You know when you have real soap in your hand. It suds up differently. It smells differently. The clean feel of your skin isn't harsh or astringent. This is the feeling your great grandparents had after bathing. Granted, they probably bathed in a tin or wooden tub (maybe a river), but at least their baths didn't involve small bricks of chemically engineered slime that were designed to strip oils from your body as cheaply as possible so the same company could turn around and charge you an arm and a leg for a special moisturizing lotion. Anyways, this company makes superb soap. Tried two varieties (lemongrass and sage) and both exceeded my expectations. They clean without stripping my skin of oil. They foam up superbly and feel great! The natural scents are just lovely. Would recommend to anyone. Also, note that these soaps are very robust. They were designed to be used every few days, not on the daily (unless you have exceptionally oily skin and hair). If you clean just the target areas (where all the smells are ;) daily, but leave off the larger areas, such as legs, arms, and central, cleaning them only every few days, your skin will do a great job of moisturizing itself. Love this soap!

I just love this soap. It exfoliates while it has a creamy lather. The scent is soft & clean smelling.

Love this soap. Great fragrance.

I've refused to use anything other than Pre de Provence for 13 years now. It's the best body soap I've ever tried, I love the scents, and it doesn't leave any buildup. Feels like a dream ^.^
