Real Soaps is a company out of Chicago making handmade soaps and natural body care products.  They don’t use any sulphates, parabens, phthalates and are cruelty-free. They also have no dyes, preservatives, or artificial ingredients and only pure essential oils for scents.  I found them on Etsy but they also have a website.  You can buy individual soaps or they have six and twelve-month plans starting at $47.00 and shipping to Canada was under $20 for the whole term.  I’m not sure why I’m on a soap kick lately but they are fun to get.

They ship out this bar of soap in a bubble mailer.  They add the little Thank You on the back.

I love the care they take in the packaging of this soap.  It’s simple but so effective and I think it looks great.  The soap this month is Vetiver & Lemongrass.

This soap is the newest one they make.  According to their little card vetiver has many benefits.  It is an aphrodisiac, antiseptic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, sedative properties, stress and anxiety reduction, promotes the growth of new tissue, removes scars, and other skin marks.  This bar smells a little smokey to me and the lemongrass is barely there.  That may change once I actually use it and get a lather going though.

I am always looking for bath type products and soap is such an easy way to shake up your routine.  I tend to not share these with my family but it I find a scent that is too strong or not to my liking then I give it to my hubby who is less picky.  That won’t be happening with this one!
