St Botanica Sensual Amber Handmade Soap Review

I love trying new handmade soaps and if you search my blog, you will find reviews of n number of soaps. Though I haven’t tried many products from St Botanica but I really liked their shampoo and shower gel so I went ahead and bought St Botanica Sensual Amber Handmade Soap.

Price: ₹349 for 125g

St Botanica Soap comes in a very beautifully designed cardboard box packaging with all the information written at the back. The actual soap comes hygienically and neatly wrapped in a butter paper. The soap is dark yellow in color with few patterned things (that looks like soap itself) present in the soap. It is rectangular in shape and looks really pretty. It is fairly in good size and the quality is obvious in its appearance and texture. It is slightly translucent due to the presence of glycerin in it (all the glycerin based soaps I tried appear translucent!). 

The scent of the soap is natural and strong without being overpowering. I really loved the fragrance and didn’t find it overpowering. Although I always use body scrunchie in my bath or shower but I love using this soap on its own. It is easy to hold and feels soft and smooth on my skin. The scent is wonderful and I love spending more time in the shower. It instantly refreshes up my senses and makes me feel good. It is really rich though not overpowering and luxurious. The soap creates plentiful lather with minimal efforts which is refreshing and delightful. It feels good on the skin creating a feeling of pure luxurious indulgence. Being a natural and handmade soap, it is quite kind and gentle to the skin. I have not faced any adverse effects whilst using it.

The soap thoroughly cleanses my skin removing all dirt and impurities. It is easily rinsed away and does not leave greasy or sticky residue behind. I have normal body skin with slightly dry knees and elbows. My skin feels soft, hydrated, clean and fresh after using this soap due to the presence of coconut oil, castor oil, sweet almond oil, shea butter, aloe vera and glycerin in it. It does not dry out the skin or make it feel tight unlike other harsh soaps. I have the habit of applying body butters or lotions so my skin usually remains hydrated. The soap does not melt or turn soggy in the soap dish due to its solid texture. You do not need to chunk it off to pieces. The 125g of soap would last pretty well. It is natural, handcrafted and chemical free that suits all skin types. 

I have been using it in the chilly winters and I loved it didn’t dry out my skin.
