I'm not such a fan of rubbing essential oil into my skin, but this does smell nice and my neighbors' dogs enjoyed licking it off my legs. (It's all natural and perfectly safe, I hope.) I'm a bigger fan of the gorgeous, wonderfully scented soaps, which are a steal at $6 each and, being truly gigantic, will last for months.
One thing: If Soaptopia wants to be taken seriously as an "eco-friendly" brand, they should probably not stuff their shipments full of antiquated paper newsletters. Yes, they are somewhat charming (though the testimonials are obviously not to be taken too seriously), but not if you want to claim to be green with a straight face.
Thanks to Kristin at the Bungalow PR for the samples!
To clarify on the $6 soap: I probably would not pay $6 for most bar soaps, no matter how good they smelled. But these are enormous, and you'd get so much use out of each one that the per day cost would be pennies. Well worth it for something so beautiful and enjoyable. As indulgences go, very modest.
As for the $35 bar of soap I received a few weeks ago as a PR sample, no amount of mental gymnastics could rationalize that for me.
