Product Review: Softsoap's Fragrant Body Washes & Matching Soap Bars
MIRACLE PRODUCT: Softsoap's body washes in Juicy Pomegranate, Coconut Scrub and Sweet Honeysuckle & Orange Peel and matching bar soap line ($3.99-$5.49)
THEY SAY: The indulgently rich formulas excites senses and delivers waves of moisture right down to your toes.
WE SAY: Read on for reviews from the editorial team!
Pros: The natural-inspired scents were really lovely and refreshing. I loved them all! They left my skin smooth and moisturized. The fragrances, even the soap, lightly stayed with me after showering. You also can't beat the price. The body washes came in a generously sized bottle, too!
Cons: I had to get used to the gelatin texture of the body washes. The scrub was gentle and not as aggressive as I'd like. I wish some of the fragrances lasted longer.
—Danielle Datu
Pros: The Coconut was heavenly and instantly transported me to a beach in Tahiti somewhere! The liquid version lathered very easily and left my skin lightly scented and very soft! If your skin dries out easily like mine does, the Sweet Honeysuckle & Orange Peel, bar and liquid, is a great moisturizer. The Juicy Pomegranate smell was my favorite. It had staying power. I still caught whiffs of it's tropical aroma several hours after I showered, and it moisturized my skin very well. I was very impressed by the quality of everything.
Cons: The Coconut scent could have been a little bit stronger. It faded within an hour or so. I wasn't a huge fan of the Sweet Honeysuckle & Orange Peel scent—it came off smelling very dish soapy.
—Anita Little
Pros: I love the smell of the coconut scrub, and just a tiny bit of the pomegranate wash was enough to get super sudsy.
Cons: The scrub was too much like a regular body wash with a loofah, but it felt like an exfoliator when I used my hands to apply it. The washes didn't seem to be more moisturizing than other soaps, but the pomegranate one was more so than the orange.
—Emily Krauser
Bottom Line: Lather on these fragrant body washes and matching soap bars for a deep cleansing and invigorating showering experience!
