I had tried lots of St Botanica products and loved most of them! If you ask me to choose between body wash and handmade soap, I will definitely opt for soap as they are easy to use and HANDMADE. Today I am going to review St Botanica Rose & Jasmine Handmade Soap that I have been using for the last 1.5 months. I had already reviewed St Botanica Sensual Amber Handmade Soap on my blog!
Price- Rs 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 beige in color with few chunks (that looks like rose petals) 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.
The scent of the soap is natural and but not so soothing. It doesn't smell of both rose and jasmine that actually disappoints me! 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 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 contains sesame, castor, olive and coconut oil.
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. 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 100g of soap would last pretty well. It is natural, handcrafted and chemical free that suits all skin types.

Overall Thoughts:
Overall St Botanica Rose & Jasmine Handmade Soap is a good soap that cleanses the skin without drying it out. I expect my bath products to smell nicely which this soap doesn't that kind of disappointed me!
My Tips:
