If there is one thing ( let me make that two! and I’ll talk about the second one in a later post) I have a weakness for, it is soaps. Yes, I totally love them and when I walk into a lifestyle store that sell soaps, I try and veer away from that aisle because I just end up buying lots of them! But one thing I need to add here is that I love pure and organic soaps. Fab India, Soulflower, Holy Lama, Lush are some of my favourites. Today, I am going to review some of my favourite soaps from Fab India. There are 4 soaps that I really like from FI.
1. Spice Soap : This comes as an individual as well as a pack of three. I always buy a single because I am eager to change my soaps as soon as I can. This soap has an inbuilt scrub that exfoliates your skin as you use it. What I like about this soap is that the scrub lasts right till the end. I like the spice fragrance that lingers on at least for half the day after I have bathed with this. This soap lasts roughly about 20 days if used regularly. I avoid using this in the winter as it tends to make my skin dry, for the rest of the year, yes, this soap is a must use on my list.
Cost – INR 65
Description on the pack:
Stimulating and clarifying bathing bar with a combination of invigorating ginger oil, rosemary oil, nutmeg oil, cinnamon oil , crushed cloves and crushed cardamom seeds. Ingredients: Sodium Laureth Sulphate, Cocobetaine, Saponified Castor Oil, Cotton Seed Oil, Coconut Oil, Glycerine, Propylene
Glycol, Sodium Stearate, Sodium Laurate, Ginger Oil,
Rosemary Oil, Nutmeg Oil, Cinnamon Oil, Crushed Cloves,
Crushed Cardamom Seeds.
2. Lemongrass soap with Loofah
If you took out packing, you would see a sea weed kind of thing in the soap that acts like the loofah. Lemongrass is known for its anti-septic and anti-inflammatory properties, and with the loofah combined, it also helps exfoliate the dead skin. The fragrance is mild but that is what I like about it. It’s almost like a game of hide-and-seek, sometimes you smell it and sometimes you don’t!
Cost – INR 85
Description on the pack:
Invigorating and exfoliating soap made using refreshing lemongrass oil and wild torai loofah. Ingredients: Purified Water, Soap Noodles, Sugar, Glycerine, Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate, Lemongrass Oil, Cocoamido- propylbetaine, Sodium Palmitate, Sodium Stearate, Wild Torai Loofah.
I love this soap for its minty fragrance. It never fails to invigorate me. Its a perfect soap to kick start your day or end your day. A hot shower and the soap never fails to relax a tired me. Yet again, like most of the FI soaps, this soap also has a lovely fragrance that lingers for a long time. I love the colour of the soap. It is a lovely clear green.
Description on the pack:
Cooling and reinvigorating soap made using peppermint oil known for its refreshing and antiseptic properties. Unwind after a long day with this rejuvenating soap. Ingredients: Sodium Laureth Sulphate, Cocobetaine, Saponified Castor Oil, Cotton Seed Oil, Coconut Oil, Glycerine, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Stearate, Sodium Laurate, Peppermint Oil.
This was one of the first soaps I had tried from FI. I liked it so much that I bought half a dozen of these soaps and gifted them to some of my friends. The soap has a nice scrub to it. You can use the soap to lather up and there is a scrub on the other side that can be used to exfoliate the dead skin. The scrub contains a good portion of dried neem powder which cleans your skin very well.
