sabai soaps review / natural skin care / handmade / organic / eczema

 
 
 
 
 
 I was very happy to receive this mangosteen soap bar from Sabai Soaps to try as I am always on the look out for new products that are natural for me and my family.
 
I didn't know much about mangosteen before receiving this product so I did a bit of research and there are actually a lot of benefits for your skin from using mangosteen. The two that really stood out were anti-aging as it is rich in antioxidants and also acne relief because of its antibacterial properties.
 
The Thai print packaging of the soap is really eye catching as you open up this product.
 
The scent is really unique and sweet-smelling and it lasts for quite a while. The nearest smell that is similar to it is probably strawberry. 
 
I was impressed with how well it lathered up with hardly any water and it didn't have any greasy residue.
 
I had no adverse reaction, no itchiness or redness and I found the texture really soothing to my skin, especially on my hands where I suffer from eczema.
 
And of course, the factor I always look out for, this soap contains no harsh chemicals and is 100% organic.
 
 
At the moment this soap is on sale at the website above and they also do lovely gift sets.

the clovelly soap company review / natural skin care / eczema

 
 
 
I received a package from this company with a selection of their natural products to try.
 
Coffee and lime soap
 
I thought that these two scents worked really well together.
 
I liked the fact that the little grounds of coffee are a gentle natural exfoliator.
 
All of the soaps are made by hand and they use the traditional cold process method. I was impressed to note that this company only uses Certified Sustainable Palm Oil.
 
I also love the packaging of these they would be ideal as gifts.
 
 
Nourishing skin balm grapefruit and neroli
 
This was a great product for me as I suffer with eczema on my hands and I can't use normal moisturizers and creams as they irritate my skin.
 
This contains enough moisture to stop my hands from getting dry but not too much to make them feel sticky or oily.
 
It has a nice natural scent that is not overpowering.
 
Bath bomb
 
I was really impressed with this. It dissolved fully in the water and it had a lovely fresh citrus fragrance.
 
 
What I also like about the bath bombs is that there is just a sprinkling of petals because in products like this there are sometimes too many and this makes it hard to clean out the bath.
 
I had no adverse reaction, no itchiness or redness to any of the products.
