Caffeinated Soap Peppermint Scent 4.5oz 3pk

Caffeinated Soap Peppermint Scent 4.5oz 3pkThe concept of caffeine in my soap was one that excited me to no end. I figured I'd wake up with a blast of energy and be extra awesome. It turns out it really just dries out your skin really badly. I had to abandon the soap and go back to standard issue Ivory soap.

I jumped at the opportunity to try out caffeinated soap after hearing about it through some kind of publication. Don't ask me which one. All in all, I've been very pleased with this product. I can definitely feel a difference in my attitude after showering with it. I'd recommend anyone else to try it if they've got the cash!

Dominica Bay Rum Herbal Soap 4oz. :: 3 Pack Value

Dominica Bay Rum Herbal Soap 4oz. :: 3 Pack ValueI bought this soap for my husband, who wanted some bay rum soap. He had no idea how hard it is to find some bay rum soap that didn't cost a fortune. Also, it's tricky to buy something fragrant over the internet(you'll never know what you'll get), but I apparently hit the soap jackpot, for he just loves this. It does smell wonderful-kind of spicy, the way bay rum should smell, and it was not too expensive. Great lathering soap, too, so he tells me.

I've used Dominica Bay Rum Aftershave for many years. It is highly recommended. This soap is a complement to that natural scent. The soap has a very rich lather so it doesn't take too much. Don't leave this one sitting in the soap dish or it will diminish quickly for an expensive bar. It dries relatively quickly in a nice aerated dish. Good for shower. The small bits (Bay Rum Leaf?) can be a little scratchy for a sensitive skin, but the scent and lather are worth it to me.

the "clean burst" on this floss is really little waxy flavored flakes that come off on your hands & teeth. it turns into a slimy mush on the floss as you are trying to floss your teeth, making it unable to get a good grip on the floss. do not recommend.

i only gave it 2 stars because it still works as floss if you're in a pinch.

Lever 2000 Bar Soap, Citrus Bars, 4-Ounce, 8-Count

Lever 2000 Bar Soap, Citrus Bars, 4-Ounce, 8-CountApparently, this line of Lever 2000 soaps didn't catch on, because I can no longer find it in the major grocery chains in DC. Thankfully, it's being sold on Amazon! I love this fragrance because I don't have to wear perfume with--and yet people think I am. I've actually receive compliments on the fragrance!

we've been using this soap for about a year and it is the greatest. Nice smell and leaves your skin clean.

Dial Grapeseed Oil and Lemongrass Glycerin Soap Bar, 10 Count

Dial Grapeseed Oil and Lemongrass Glycerin Soap Bar, 10 CountCan't get this stuff in smalltown USA where I live. A nice change from the regular Dial soap that's available here. The scent is pleasant and appealing. I can't wait to try some of the other Dial varieities.

This green hand soap bar is fabulous! It has a lovely, mild lemon-herbal scent, and leaves your skin smelling fresh and clean.

I have not found it greasy or hard to rinse off at all, although if your water is soft enough, I suppose that could be possible with any soap.

I also have extremely sensitive skin, but have never had any kind of allergy problem with this soap. I've been using it for more than a year now.

This is the nicest smelling Dial soap ever! You should definitely try it!

Buy Dial Grapeseed Oil and Lemongrass Glycerin Soap Bar, 10 Count Now

It is a shame that my supermarket recently stopped carrying Dial Lemongrass Glycerin soap, but then again it is cheaper by half buying it on Amazon. It makes me nervous that this might be a discontinued item, so I am stocking up. The scent is clean and refreshing, not heavy and perfumed like other Dial soaps. And it has no triclosan, so one does not need to worry about that. It is gentle to my skin and rinses well in our hard Fresno water. And finally, it fits the color scheme of my bathroom which makes my wife happy lol. When this product finally does disappear from the market I will need to find something new, but with this purchase I should be good for a couple of years.

I had to give away the rest of the soap in the package, because after using once, I was disappointed. Very greasy and hard to rinse off. Used on face and made it break out. Would never buy again.

Doesn't lather as much as I would like. Decent enough of a product though for the price I paid, but not positive I would buy it again.

Earth Mama Angel Baby Hand to Toe Wash, Happy Mama, 34 Fluid Ounce

Earth Mama Angel Baby Hand to Toe Wash, Happy Mama, 34 Fluid OunceI have super sensitive skin, and this doesn't irritate me. The smell is outstanding and a real pick-me-up, especially since normally I don't tolerate much fragrance. Great to be able to refill my existing pump.

Smells good but a bit drying on the skin would not use it on the face since it would dry out. It comes with a foam pumphead so if you don't have a refill bottle its fine.

Olive Green Goods for Modern Dogs Soap Lump, 3-Ounce Package (Pack of 2)

Olive Green Goods for Modern Dogs Soap Lump, 3-Ounce PackageLiked this soap a lot. Smells like you'd expect from the description: nice, natural woody sort of smell with hints of lavender. Just lathered it some on my hands as well as a bit directly (gently) on my pooch's back. Washed out nicely, and seemed to reduce shedding for about a week. Also did not seem to dry out my pup's skin.

Overall, I really like it. I imagine the two bars included in the pack will last us about a year, considering how little soap a single washing used. Good deal.

Basis Vitamin Bar, 4-Ounce Bars (Pack of 6)

Basis Vitamin Bar, 4-Ounce BarsHaving tried the sensitive-skin type before, I ordered a pack of these after seeing that the sensitive-skin type was sold out, and have to say that I prefer these much more. Not only does this type have a cleaner feeling, my skin has never looked better since using this and it has pretty much eliminated the need to use a moisturizer after washing due to the dried-out appearance that you get with so many other types of soap. While the sensitive-skin bar doesnt necessarily leave you with dry skin, this type does a better job of moisturizing from my experience. On top of that, it has a very pleasant, very mild scent that is absent from the sensitive-skin bar and one bar of this seems to last quite a bit longer as well. I'd give it a 5-star if they weren't as expensive but the value is fairly good for what you get (really good-looking skin).

This soap is wonderful, smooth and creamy and gentle to the skin! I can never find it in the stores but of course Amazon has it! Most Basis products are excellent and an excellent value.

This is a gentle soap (I use it as my face soap) and it has a pleasant, but very subtle scent. You do have to be a little careful about putting it where water is constantly on it (like the shower) because it does melt away faster than some other soaps.

I love this bar, it lathers like no other. I love the lather it makes, great for shaving, nothing else I have used has come close. Works great at exfoliating without leaving a film or residue. Has a great scent. It is hard on the eyes though, but if you use the bar awhile your eyes get used to it.

Scottish Fine Soaps Au Lait Bath Soaps

Scottish Fine Soaps Au Lait 25g/0.88oz Milk SoapFound this soap by chance at a discount store. At 10.5 oz it is gigantic. The soap has a gentle fragrance and a nice smooth feel. It moisturizes, but it is much lighter and cleaner in feel to "Dove" for example. If you want a soap that heavily moisturizes, this is probably too light for you. If you want a natural feeling soap, this is good.

I have been looking for this item on and off in discount stores like Ross etc. since they are hard to come by. Amazon seems to be the only place to get them now . I used to find them for around $4. Now they are almost $20. Supply and demand rules here. Just curios why there is no large distributor who imports them to so we get them cheaper.

Yes, the soap is awesome. It lasts months with heavy use, and feels great as a facial soap or body soap.

Really smells like milk. Leaving a very clean and fresh skin.

Definitely an attention getter in your guest bath. Buy it.

Hands down my favorite soap. I love the clean smell and how smooth it leaves my skin feeling. This bar is HUGE, which can make for some awkward handling. In the future I'll be going with the smaller size.

NaturOli Soap Nuts / Soap Berries. - ONE POUND - "Select" seedless USDA Organic! - Fresh 2013 Wild

NaturOli Soap Nuts / Soap Berries. - ONE POUND - 'Select' seedless USDA Organic! - Fresh 2013 Wild Harvest! - Rated 'best' eco-friendly, natural detergent. - Award winning! --- Special EXTREME 18X Bonus Bundle!...included below...

I have been using these for 7 months and have been very happy with them. I am so glad to buy a laundry-cleaning product that does not come in a plastic jug, that does not leave a soap residue on my clothing or in my washer, and that cleans our clothes efficiently!

My fiancee, who has a very labor-intensive, sweaty, chemical-laden job, reports that even his work clothes come out of the washer smelling like nothing. Which is a huge improvement over the stinky pile of clothes he tosses in there! He likes that there is no scent on the clothes after they come out of the washer (no stench, no chemicals, no flowers, no perfume, just "clean").

The little bag is very durable and stays closed in the wash (we tie the drawstring in a knot for security). They also successfully run through the dryer. We have a front loading maytag commercial quality washer and a standard maytag gas dryer.

I purchased the 2 lb. bag, and I'm excited to finish it, so I can find a new use for the bag, as well. Reusable produce bag...travel lingerie bag... toiletries bag...etc.

I put "samples" of soap nuts from my big bag, into the little bags, and give to loved ones (I usually stuff the bag for them and tell them to store them in a ziploc bag or glass jar and only use about 5 or so nuts per "use", which equals about 5 loads. This way, they can get quite a few trials of them and have some on hand while waiting for their own shipment to arrive!). They sell a three-pack of the bags on amazon.

TIP 1: we keep a make-shift dry-erase board & marker on the wall by our washing machine to tally the washings with those IIII-slash line markings, using two lines for especially heavy or dirty loads. Once the nuts in the sack are washer-spent, we erase the markings on the board, dump the nuts into a big jug (for later boiling) and refill the sack. This is much easier than trying to remember/calculate how many uses the nuts had or have left (especially when two people use the same sack at different times).

The next three tips aren't about the direct use of this specific product, but since they are eco-laundry related, and about my general use of the product, I thought I'd add them:

TIP 2: Since these nuts don't attack stains, I also purchased (from Amazon) a spray bottle of BioKleen BacOut, which I keep in my laundry room for stains and problem spots. (I keep also one on each floor, for carpet spots.) Works better than other natural stain removers I have tried.

TIP 3: I don't use fabric softener, but I do put a few drops of essential oil in the fabric softener dispenser. I like how it makes my clothes smell and I think it helps repel mosquitoes as I haven't gotten bitten since I began doing this. I used to get bit very often, and others are getting bitten more then I am now.

TIP 4: In the dryer, I use organic wool dryer balls (bought on Amazon), with some drops of pure essential oil (usually lavender or peppermint). I put the drops on the balls and then toss them in for a brief Air Fluff (no heat) to dry the oil before I put my clothes in the dryer. No icky chemical (or expensive natural) separate fabric softener needed!

Disclosure: : This review is from: NaturOli Soap Nuts / Soap Berries. 2 lbs. (320+ loads). These nuts are the same product, in a different quantity.

I rely on reviews here at Amazon to help me make informed buying choices. I hope this review has helped you in the same manner. If you voted this as helpful, I Thank You! :)

I last ordered this exact product 365 days ago. So this bag lasted my family (we have a very messy toddler) 1 year +; I have 5 nuts left. How's that for inexpensive? I'm allergic to coconut and I've yet to find a laundry detergent without coconut derivatives in it. Soap nuts keep me from having itchy, dry skin.

A couple of tips: I bought the extra 3 bags, so that I don't have to go searching for the one that accidently got placed in the dryer. For really dirty clothes, I sometimes use a second bag as a booster. When washing with cold water, I let the clothes and soap nuts sit in the water for at least an hour before I run the washer. For stains I use either Vaska peroxide bleach or Orange oil spray. If I want a little bit of smell, I add lavender oil and water to the fabric softener cup.

It feels so awesome to use such a basic product on my toddlers clothes -no lavender oil for him.

Update on 17 FEB 13:

I bought the 5 pounds of pieces last year and they lasted me about 14 months. I'm back buying the 4 lb. whole nuts, because I think the whole nuts go further than the pieces. I'm buying the extra three bags again, as they wear out after a year of hard use. I've started adding about 1/3 of a cup of baking soda to my wash to counter our hard water and that seems to have streamlined the whole process. I'm still adding lavender oil in water to the fabric softener cup. And I've found that a half hour is sufficient for soaking the clothes and nuts. Oh, and we have two kids now, and we don't use bibs. I've also used it successfully on cloth diapers. This is a great product!

I ordered the soap nuts and received my order within a few days. Included was a free sample for some of their face cream that I wasn't expecting too.

This is my first experience with soap nuts, NaturOli are the only brand I've tried. I've done several loads of wash so far and the nuts still look like they can handle a few more.

The clothes really do come out of the dryer feeling soft without using any dryer sheets or fabric softener! Only down side is with it being winter here and the heater running all the time I have a SMALL static problem...not sure how to deal with that.

I would recommend these and I will be buying them again.

I was skeptical but hopeful when I bought the Soap Nuts. I was thrilled to continue my journey into toxic free cleaning. However, my hopes sank when I washed my husband's first load of work clothes. (He is in construction) The smell remained along with the dirt. I tried soaking the nuts in warm/hot water for 20 minutes as suggested. Poured the water and the nuts in the washer and even added borax as recommended. Still the same results with his clothes and my 3 boys' clothes. The sweat smell never seemed to really leave. I used lavender essential oils in the dryer which helped but felt it was only a cover up. I am sorely disappointed with the results and am not one to leave negative comments, but I couldn't let this go. My whites are dingy and regular stains remain even with using vinegar and other natural brighteners. Thus, I must try another "green" laundry cleaner.

Originally, I was searching the internet for a recipe to make homemade laundry soap. I stumbled upon a blog that raved about these. The author even gave tips on how to get the most out of these, which I will share in a moment. I love how my clothes smell like ... well, nothing! It's great. I love how my clothes are coming out clean WITHOUT the use of toxic synthetic chemicals. I appreciate the "green" factor of this product. I have washed several loads...even super dingy ones, and expect that the odors will still be there or that my clothes won't be clean. I am grateful to have been proven wrong.

now to the tips (same person on the blog also left a review here):

1. keep a tally sheet by the washer to keep track of how many uses the nuts get out of each bag. (I use 4 nuts per "tea bag" and have used for 5+ loads)

2. Use Bac-Out to pre-treat serious stains. 1 part Bac-out to 2 parts water.

3. I use wool dryer balls with a couple drops of lavender oil... I have learned that the oil is almost pointless and could become costly.

Note: I have small children, which means that I have stinky pee clothes and pants with dirty dirty knees, yucky homemade wipes... In the past I have had to use baking soda to eliminate the odor and some kind of non-green, toxic chemical to get out the tough stains. The above regimen works. I love the soap nuts!

Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps Pure-Castile Soap, All-One Hemp Citrus Orange, 5-Ounce BarsThis soap, like many others have stated is quite simply...outstanding. However, I can walk into the Kroger down the street right now and pay $2.99 a bar individually. Don't get me wrong, I love Amazon, but in this case for me, it's not the least expensive route. You might look in your local grocery store's organics section to see if these soaps are there and check the prices. You could be pleasantly surprised.

This soap is very good. It has a rich lather that lasts until the last piece of soap is gone, and one can feel the cleansing action of the soap even as it is being used. Very good and gentle on the face too.

Curved Rectangle Tray Wood Soap Dish

Curved Rectangle Tray Wood Soap DishI've had this for more than 4 months to give it a good try out. I did not purchase it for soap, but my experience could stand up for that as well. The wood stands up well; there is no sign of deterioration either.

I wanted something I could put my kitchen sponges on and let them dry without sticking to the kitchen counter or with one side staying damp. This absolutely works perfectly and believe me I am not a good "squeezer-outer" so the sponge when it goes back on these wooden slats is pretty damp.

It is about 3/4" high, 3 1/2" wide and 4 1/2" long.

This works wonderful, keeps things dry, looks unique and best of all does the job.

I love this soap dish. Easy to wash off counter, for any liquid that runs through. I HATE soap dishes where soap sits in gummy yucky water and on top of that, those types are harder to clean than just wiping a surface. It,s attractive, well made, not splintery & looks nice on your counters. To top it off, they don't charge for shipping, my kind of place! I searched to web looking for one and only found a similar one through a hand soap site, which you also had to pay for shipping. I have one by every sink!
