Gold
Damn Fyne Soap, Patchouli Mandarin and Lime Soap
“A lovely chunky bar of soap that has a soft yet citrusy scent. One of things I liked most about this soap was how soft it has made my hands after use and that it is gentle enough to use on both body and face. A good all round bar for use from top to toe. It is gently cleaning my skin without any issues. When using this I just feel that I’m being pampered by a little bar of luxury. This soap is, to repeat a phrase, damn fine!”
Soap & Mhor, Peppermint & Rosemary
“The scent of this bar stole the show. A great bar of soap, it leaves my hands feeling clean without sapping all the moisture from them. The scent is uplifting and energising and sets me up for the day well. It offers a refreshing wash and I think that it has a stimulating quality to it — there is no question that you feel clean once you have used it. I don’t think have ever used a better smelling soap: the aroma is a massive selling point. I’d buy this again.”

Bliss Botanicals, Rosemary Spa Bar
“Truly a magical and uplifting scent. Provided a luxurious and relaxing shower. After the first week, my skin was becoming more and more hydrated and softer to touch, and less irritated and itchy than before. The exfoliating benefits were having a noticeable and positive impact in the following weeks, with my skin maintaining its smooth and silky soft feel. I cannot speak highly enough about this soap and its benefits to my skin and also my soul. It is perfect. I can tell it is made with love and passion and it was a pleasure to experience it.”
Gower Lavender, Lavender Soap
“How can a soap bar be so pretty? Pure gorgeousness! The packaging, the colours and the soap itself are lovely. 10 out of 10 for fragrance: it’s like a visit to lavender fields, absolutely divine. One of the best smelling lavender products I’ve ever tried. Crispy, fresh, strong and natural. Fantastic creaminess: milky, rich, velvety smooth and the fragrance doesn’t fade. My skin felt moisturised and soft after use. I experienced no tightness. I’m so in love! Easily in top 3 best natural soaps I’ve ever tried! Pure pleasure.”
Gower Lavender, Lavender & Laver Seaweed Soap
“Lathers beautifully from the first wash. Over the first few days, it performed well on eczema patches on my arms and legs and didn’t leave them tight or dry. Over several weeks , I have to say that this is the gift that keeps on giving. I have never encountered a soap bar that is so long-lasting even when used daily. This has delivered incredible results. The nourishing bar has left my skin feeling squeaky clean but never dry throughout the testing period, and the way it has been long lasting is testament to the amazing quality.”
The Eco Stall, Wild Meadow
“An absolute treat for the senses: I drank in the cottage-garden scent and loved the simple packing and eco credentials. The texture is smooth and creamy with light and bouncy bubbles. I don’t find it at all drying, just gentle and effective cleaning. After a month I was enjoying this soap as much as I did on the first day. It held its shape and fragrance well. It promised to be gentle and sustainable and it certainly lived up to that. This is probably the least drying soap that I have ever used and I adore it.”

Clementine Suds, Late Morning Lie In – Body Bar
“Chamomile, clementine and cedarwood essential oils make this an irresistible combination of scents and upon first sniff, this natural handmade soap did not disappoint. I used this bar in the shower each morning and was so impressed by its creamy lather which felt as though it was nourishing rather than stripping my skin of its natural oils. It also cleansed my skin very well too. 100% delivers.”
Elstree Soaps, In Bloom
“Lathers beautifully with rich, creamy bubbles. It leaves my skin lovely and clean and beautifully fragranced. It isn’t drying on my hands, in fact they feel lovely and soft and hydrated. When I use it in the shower the scent fills my bathroom and it really helps me to relax and switch off after a busy day at work. This is a unique and eye catching soap that not only looks and smells amazing but cares for my skin too.”
Elstree Soaps, Lime me to the Moon
“A real showstopper item. The scent is divine! Fresh and strong lime and mint; it really wakes you up in the shower and gives you a boost. It lathered up really well with my shower puff and made lots of creamy, soapy bubbles. With the poppy seeds, you can also use it as a sort of exfoliator. It washes you and leaves your skin feeling soft and clean – with no drying out. A great soap bar that doesn’t let you down.”
Picobello, Salt & Sage Soap
“Simple but stylish packaging — waxed bag, modern low-key branding — it instantly appealed to me. Inside the soap looked intriguing with its finely salted top layer. The lather is creamy and luxurious. The soap does not feel gritty, grainy or irritating. Skin feels soft and hydrated after bathing and the fresh fragrance lingers a while. I very much enjoyed it.”
Purple Sage Soap, Sage Cottage
“A heart shape, with beautiful dried flower floral touch. I loved this soap. Gently lavender scented: so clean, calming and soothing. Did not dry my skin at all, it was very gentle, kept its texture well. Felt as though someone had put their heart and soul into producing this. This would make a fabulous gift.”
SkincarebOOtique, Olive Oil Soap
“I love fragrance free, rich soap with natural ingredients, and was excited to use this. Smelt clean, fresh and comforting. The soap performed well, it lathered up to a foam, cleansed without stripping the skin. The soap also kept its shape. With continued use my skin remained moisturised, supple, comfortable, even toned, no dry patches on body, cleansed without feeling dry or stripped. It delivered!”
