I bought this one day back in December due to the many (mostly positive) reviews I've read online. I was looking for something organic to possibly use a facial soap. My skin was reeking havoc and I was at my wit's end. So it was either give this a shot or use a blow-torch. I chose lavender because it's supposed to be healing, blah blah blah. Ok then. Sure. The peppermint scented soap was just too..pepperminty. *shrugs* Anyway, seeing that this "magic" soap is multi-functional (?) I will break down and review exactly what I used this "magic" soap for.
Before I start, if you're not into religious writings on your soap either peel the label off after purchasing or just don't buy it. Me, I just don't pay attention although it is quite interesting.
Facial cleanser: I must say that this does help dry up any blemishes you might have on your face, but please DILUTE before using! This is like super-ultra-concentrated! You could probably take paint off the wall with it. Sometimes I use it plain (one squirt with a handful of water, mix it around on your hand, apply to face) or I mix it with my Burt's Bees Citrus Facial Scrub (one squirt and a blob of scrub)
I was quite surprised, being as concentrated as it is, the soap really didn't make my face dry and scaly. Thumbs up for that.
Bathroom cleaner: I told you this stuff was multi-functional! I used this to clean my tub with. Fill the tub up with hot water, add about 5-6 squirts, let it sit and enjoy the lavender scent. It does help break down some of the shampoo and soap gunk but I really wouldn't recommend this as a heavy-duty, soap scum removing, sterilizing cleaner. It's hippie soap so you know it doesn't do well in the cleaning (of bathrooms that is) department. I'm just glad it doesn't stink of patchouli.
Toothpaste:Ok I haven't the foggiest idea why anyone would use this as toothpaste. I mean, how good of a job could it possibly do? No fluoride, no SLS, nothing. It would probably taste like crap too. If you're that into organic/natural toothpaste I'd say pick up Tom's of Maine or The Natural Dentist toothpaste. If you do insist on using this as "toothpaste" I'd say pick up the peppermint scent. Who wants their breath to smell like lavender?
Shampoo:Hmm..no. At first it seemed like a good idea because it added texture and body to my otherwise limp hair. After a couple of days of using this (diluted of course) my hair resembled that of a rastafarian's. A big no-no for me. I couldn't even run a comb through it. It was a puff ball but a greasy puff ball, if that makes any sense. I just don't recommend it for hair. Run far away!!
I believe that is all I used this "magic soap" for. Would I recommend it? Yes, just not as shampoo or toothpaste. I haven't used any of the other scents yet seeing that I still have half a bottle of lavender left.
The price was a tad much (I thought at the time) but considering that it does last a while and you can use it for more than one purpose it wasn't that bad at all.
Sooooo OMGZZZ
LOVE!!!!! Lxxxxxxxxxx
