Australian Botanical Soap, 6.6 OZ, Vitamin C and Valencia Orange, Triple Milled Bars made with a Natural Soap Base and Enriched with Organic Shea Butter, Pack of 8

The simple, beautiful advertising and favorable reviews first got me interested in trying this soap. I love trying out new soaps and have a full closet that is dedicated to the soaps I purchase. Lemongrass and Lemon Myrtle was the first scent I purchased from Australian Botanical Soap. I judge bared soap on 5 areas (see other soap reviews) and found the soaps from Australian Botanical Soap wonderful. Physical Shape and Size: The shape of the bar is a little thick, but perfect hand size. The ends of the rectangular bar might appear sharp, but they give pleasantly when wet and round off quickly making it easily used for gliding on body curves and nooks. User friendly right out the box. 4.5 of 5 stars here. Lathering Capabilities: The bar is not a heavy bubbly lather. I have used this bar only in soft water conditions and the lather is light and fairly creamy. It washes away easily, leaving a clean and soft feel. Lather comes down to preference, and though I like a little more lather than this bar gives the rich triple milled quality lets me make an exception to my preference. 4 of 5 stars. Scent: Australian Botanical Soap does it right (at least for the Lemongrass and Lemon Myrtle scent). It smells exactly like I thought it would, or it should, with a strong naturally lemongrass/lemon myrtle aroma that fills the shower and is light on your skin. Not enough to interfere with your favorite cologne or perfume, but not too weak, that if you go aux natural, you would not smell delightfully organic and clean. 4 of 5 stars. Skin Hydration: I have normal skin type and tend to get oily skin in the T-zone of my face. I also live in a desert, so, even with normal skin hydration, I have to pay extra attention to how soaps and lotions hydrate my skin. Unfortunately, despite high prices and brand names, many soaps leave my skin dry. Australian Botanical Soap was average with moisturizing my skin. The bar did not fully dry out my skin, but I did have to apply moisturizer creams on face and body after the shower though missing this step was not unbearable. 2.5 of 5 stars. Soap Quality: This soap is a nice 6.6oz (187g). It holds up pretty well in soft and semi-hard water conditions lasting up to a month and some days depending on your lathering preferences. Compared to other bar soaps, these bars wear down less than most others I have used both commercial and exclusive. And though this is hard to gauge as soap usage per person is different, there are two of us using the bar; I am a fair latherer; I take longer showers; and I assure my entire body is meticulously clean. With these factors, Australian Botanical Soap bars have lasted a month in harsher water conditions and a month and about 8 days in soft water conditions. 4 of 5 stars. With my five-aspect bar soap judging criteria out of the way, I did want to speak to some other aspects of this product. It comes packed in a cardboard box with the company logo on it and other soap/company information. The rich beautiful aroma of lemon grass is still present even after having some of the bars for over a year. Each bar is individually labeled, but each bar is not wrapped in the cardboard box (see picture). such. Australian Botanical Soap points out that their product contains no harsh chemicals, has a natural plant derived glycerin content with organic shea butter, triple milled, pure plant oil used for fragrance, no animal testing and the company is family owned. I highly recommend Australian Botanical Soap. They are quality, reasonably priced bars that bring aspects of luxury soap bars to an everyday utility bar. I look forward to trying other fragrances by this company. Seeing the concerns with dyes, the Lemongrass with Lemon Myrtle has titanium dioxide (which is a naturally occurring mineral), Mineral pigment (naturally occurring), and Iron Oxide (also naturally occurring and beneficial to skin) for its coloration. I can only speak for this fragrance, but according to the label, all ingredients are naturally occurring.

This is. GREAT soap! I bought it based on Wirecutter recommendation. It lathers nicely, cleans gently and well without drying out skin or leaving a residue. It has a pleasant scent which does not overpower as some soaps. I have used it for 3 weeks and it lasts which is economical. This is an excellent soap!

I was facing a shortage of bar soap the other day. Having used charcoal-based products for my sensitive and acne-prone skin for years, I had grown accustomed to their effectiveness. Nevertheless, charcoal is no longer meeting my expectations. I required a soap that is less stripping and more nourishing, with specific interest in tea tree and shea butter ingredients. In my frantic search, I stumbled upon this soap, only to be immediately put off by its hefty price tag of almost $40.00. Assured by reviews and previous customers, I went ahead and made the purchase and never looked back. It arrived overnight, packaged the same as others have pictured it. These bar soaps possess significant heft, which is a good indicator of their longevity. Their scent is refreshing, without being too overpowering. It’s a nice subtlety. After 3 uses, I’ve noticed my acne disappear and scars fade away. There’s a real nice lather that goes along with it, that requires very little of the bar soap to activate. I’ve also noticed better looking skin on my face, a more healthier glow. I’ve read reviews of non-lasting scent, but I disagree. The scent lasts, you’ll get whiffs of it as you move about life. I almost knocked this down one star, as I’ve noticed this soap drys out skin, on par with charcoal but less abrasive and easily manageable. Trust me, you get your moneys worth. 6 full-sized bars of soap, everything as advertised, including better looking skin - I’ll gladly pay the price and will be introducing this soap into my routine for years to come. Just moisturize, but that’s pretty self-explanatory. Worth it.

These bars are lovely. They smell great and lather well, leaving a luscious but not overpowering smell on your skin. The bars last a long time, like a good tripple milled soap, and have a luxurious creamy feel. They don't seem to dry my skin out, though I wouldn't say I end up particularly moisturized. They are a little expensive compared to supermarket brands, but they are worth it if you love nice soap, and you can certainly pay more than these for nice soap! The skimp on packaging, as each soap comes unwrapped, and is touching other, differently scented soaps, so that is my only criticism. They could at least do a paper separator (parchment or waxed would be best).

I've had problems with dry skin around my lower legs and ankles for years. I read an article written by a dermatologist about regular soap affecting the pH of skin. I saw a review of this soap and gave it a try. In just a week, the dry skin disappeared. My wife tried it, and a dry skin problem she had also went away. The price is fair becase the bars are HUGE, and they lather very well. A little goes a long way. The smell is pleasant but not overpowering and you don't smell when you're done. VERY happy with this purchase and it does what it promises.

So, I’m a Yardley’s of London kind of guy but decided to try these out. And when I opened the box, I thought Yardley went to the Australian Outback, and this is what happened! Out came a large block of lavender colored soap with a unique scent. Lavender comes in many varieties and this one is the mentholated kind. Not bad, but more masculine (nice!) and lasting smell. I could smell the lavender on my body a couple of hours later. It leaves you squeaky clean with a lot of lather in the shower, but does not dry the skin and the bar lasts long enough. I feel Yardley’s is my favorite, but this is great for a cool and clean shower after a hot summer day.

It's the best soap I've ever used. I can even shave with it saving me money on shaving cream and no rash! It's pretty slimy/slippery in a good way and it smells amazing. Best smelling soap I've ever had.

They smell so good and they are so thick. They lather up well and last a great long time. They soften your skin and gives you a light sweet scent.
