Soused Soapery - Splendiferous product reviews

Trying other amazing Soused Soapery bars in the past I was very keen to try the Splendiferous bar which contains some of my favourite essential oils as a fragrance like tea tree and pine. There is something about those particular fragrances that screams cleanness to me I always find the smell a satisfying one and it somewhat reminds me of a Christmas tree. Knowing the natural antibacterial properties of tea tree and pine I also felt assured these were good ingredients for a soap bar and much more natural than some of the ingredients that go into mass produced antibacterial soaps.

I love that these soaps use natural oils like avocado oil, and almond oils as they are great for my sensitive skin and add moisture without irritating my skin. After washing with this bar my skin felt soft, clean and mositurised which is everything you could ask for from a soap. The soap bar itself is large in size much larger than a standard bar of soap so as long as it is kept away from too much moisture between uses it lasts for a long time. I have taken to resting mine on a soap dish on the vanity rather than leaving it in the shower to get wasted.

In reality it actually looks pretty cool in my soap dish anyway and is a soap I happily have on display on my vanity, my 6 year old was very excited that it had a camo look as camoflauge is all the rage for him at the moment so he thought this soap was pretty cool indeed. May of even prompted him to wash his hands without me having to nag him so he could use the cool army soap. He was a bit shocked when I told him it contained beer as an ingredient and was worried so needed my reassurance that children can use soap with beer in it they just can't drink beer. I do so think that is quite a cool feature that they contain alcohol as an ingredient sets the Soused range apart from other soap makers.

There is not much I can really say about this product. I had tried a different product in the range previously, which was unscented, and I found while it worked, I really required a scented one as my job is physical and a do sweat a bit. So I thought I would try Splendiferous and see how well the scented one works.

The product itself is about the size of two generic mass produced bars sitting side by side, and has a lovely marbled look to it. Almost invisible with its camouflage colouring (I jest), the product certainly has a much more natural look. The product came wrapped in some kind of wax paper, with a simple paper label wrapped around it. Minimal packaging, with minimal plastic is always a good thing in my eyes. Quite a large size, it's easy enough to chop the bar in half if necessary to turn it into two smaller bars of soap.

In my previous household, the soap holder in the shower unit was directly under the shower head, and with 6+ people living in the house, that meant the soap was constantly being splashed with water and in a moist environment that never really allowed it to dry out, which led to the soap softening and disappearing very quickly. Now with that I store my soap away from the shower, the one bar of soap looks like it will last an entire month, even though I use the soap directly on the skin (as a hairy man that generally strips the soap down very quickly).

The scent is very much as described. A mix of tea tree and pine, there is a certain "christmas" aroma that is appealing and feels much more natural than other artificial scents you can get from the supermarket.

Twelve dollars for a month of cleanliness and a nice scent that lasts reasonably well into the day? Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.
