Australian Botanical Soap Lemongrass Soap Bars, 6.6 oz., Pack of 8 | Triple Milled with Organic Shea Butter and Lemongrass Oil for a Natural Citrus Fragrance, Ideal for Daily Shower Use

The simple, beautiful advertising and favorable reviews first got me interested in trying this soap. I love trying out new soaps and have a full closet that is dedicated to the soaps I purchase. Lemongrass and Lemon Myrtle was the first scent I purchased from Australian Botanical Soap. I judge bared soap on 5 areas (see other soap reviews) and found the soaps from Australian Botanical Soap wonderful. Physical Shape and Size: The shape of the bar is a little thick, but perfect hand size. The ends of the rectangular bar might appear sharp, but they give pleasantly when wet and round off quickly making it easily used for gliding on body curves and nooks. User friendly right out the box. 4.5 of 5 stars here. Lathering Capabilities: The bar is not a heavy bubbly lather. I have used this bar only in soft water conditions and the lather is light and fairly creamy. It washes away easily, leaving a clean and soft feel. Lather comes down to preference, and though I like a little more lather than this bar gives the rich triple milled quality lets me make an exception to my preference. 4 of 5 stars. Scent: Australian Botanical Soap does it right (at least for the Lemongrass and Lemon Myrtle scent). It smells exactly like I thought it would, or it should, with a strong naturally lemongrass/lemon myrtle aroma that fills the shower and is light on your skin. Not enough to interfere with your favorite cologne or perfume, but not too weak, that if you go aux natural, you would not smell delightfully organic and clean. 4 of 5 stars. Skin Hydration: I have normal skin type and tend to get oily skin in the T-zone of my face. I also live in a desert, so, even with normal skin hydration, I have to pay extra attention to how soaps and lotions hydrate my skin. Unfortunately, despite high prices and brand names, many soaps leave my skin dry. Australian Botanical Soap was average with moisturizing my skin. The bar did not fully dry out my skin, but I did have to apply moisturizer creams on face and body after the shower though missing this step was not unbearable. 2.5 of 5 stars. Soap Quality: This soap is a nice 6.6oz (187g). It holds up pretty well in soft and semi-hard water conditions lasting up to a month and some days depending on your lathering preferences. Compared to other bar soaps, these bars wear down less than most others I have used both commercial and exclusive. And though this is hard to gauge as soap usage per person is different, there are two of us using the bar; I am a fair latherer; I take longer showers; and I assure my entire body is meticulously clean. With these factors, Australian Botanical Soap bars have lasted a month in harsher water conditions and a month and about 8 days in soft water conditions. 4 of 5 stars. With my five-aspect bar soap judging criteria out of the way, I did want to speak to some other aspects of this product. It comes packed in a cardboard box with the company logo on it and other soap/company information. The rich beautiful aroma of lemon grass is still present even after having some of the bars for over a year. Each bar is individually labeled, but each bar is not wrapped in the cardboard box (see picture). such. Australian Botanical Soap points out that their product contains no harsh chemicals, has a natural plant derived glycerin content with organic shea butter, triple milled, pure plant oil used for fragrance, no animal testing and the company is family owned. I highly recommend Australian Botanical Soap. They are quality, reasonably priced bars that bring aspects of luxury soap bars to an everyday utility bar. I look forward to trying other fragrances by this company. Seeing the concerns with dyes, the Lemongrass with Lemon Myrtle has titanium dioxide (which is a naturally occurring mineral), Mineral pigment (naturally occurring), and Iron Oxide (also naturally occurring and beneficial to skin) for its coloration. I can only speak for this fragrance, but according to the label, all ingredients are naturally occurring.

This is my second review. I first bought a variety 8 pack last year in October. I bought the other variety 8 pack in January. I still back my first review 100%. This is the best soap I ever used. The appearance of the bar looks very elegant and huge. The scent is light and refreshing. Washing with it, The lather is beyond amazing. Since using this product my skin feels awesome. I used to have skin irritations and issues with dryness. After about a month or two using this soap my skin has not had any irritations. I do use it to wash my face as well. An it does take off make up. Water proof make up however I am not sure. I would recommend this soap to any and everyone. I said it before this soap to some may seem pricey. But if you buy the packs it is like they are giving you a deal. So I prefer to buy the 8 packs. If it was just myself using it I would say that 1 bar last me about a month. But its two people using it. So it lasts us about 2 weeks. Do not leave the bar sitting in water. Make sure it is able to dry after using. Or else it will not last as long. But it does last longer than cold pressed natural soaps that I have tried before. I do however wish if Australian Botanical is reading this that they may consider please giving an option for a variety 8 pack that you could choose two scents or four scents. To be honest so far I am loving all of them. But some I do favor. :-)

These bars are lovely. They smell great and lather well, leaving a luscious but not overpowering smell on your skin. The bars last a long time, like a good tripple milled soap, and have a luxurious creamy feel. They don't seem to dry my skin out, though I wouldn't say I end up particularly moisturized. They are a little expensive compared to supermarket brands, but they are worth it if you love nice soap, and you can certainly pay more than these for nice soap! The skimp on packaging, as each soap comes unwrapped, and is touching other, differently scented soaps, so that is my only criticism. They could at least do a paper separator (parchment or waxed would be best).

It doesn't smell like tea tree it smells like lemony citrus with a touch of sage but not even sage forward type soap so I don't know that this soap is for me but it's an excellent soap otherwise being triple milled and it's very sudsy feels good on the skin it's it's a really good soap and you get a lot of it for the price but I'll probably try another scent in 15 years thanks to the amount that they give you.

These folks make the absolute best soap in my opinion!! Coming from a fella that always is greasy and dirty . It’s easy on the skin but leaves me clean and smelling like literal oranges !!

I originally got the sandalwood scent and wasn’t a fan. It wasn’t a bad smell but it reminded me of incense and a second hand bookstore.. which some people may like but I wasn’t one of these people, no judgement here. ;D I ended up giving away those soaps and got the sea salt and ocean and I’m glad it wasn’t a letdown — it smells amazing! It’s almost a light cologne scent. Scents aside, the soap lasts about a month for one person. Though, afterwards my skin feels somewhat dry but soft at the same time but I attribute that to living in the southwest and moisturizers I use after. It’s not something I’m too bothered with as I don’t get any sort of reaction from using the soap, which is a huge plus as my skin is sensitive.

Australian Botanical Soap is simply "The Best." I have always been an Irish Spring user. No other soap matched its lathering capability or fresh smell after showering and for a good part of the day.....until I tried Australian Botanical Soap......!!!! The bars are much larger and last longer than Irish Spring. The smell is great and the soap really lathers plus you feel extremely clean after using this soap in the shower. I have used the Aloe Vera with Green Tea Extract, as well as The Sandalwood with Cocoa Butter and Manuka Honey with Jojoba Oil.....All these soaps are great. You will definitely convert after using these soaps. I use no other soaps now........

Absolutely love this soap. Does not dry my skin out and it last a long time . Leaves my skin clean. Scents are good

Good soap

Will be using this soap on subscription that’s how much I love it.

Quick delivery,quality product. It smells amazing and worth the purchase.

Great product. Lasts a really long time and great for sensitive skin. Only one of two brands (other is Shea moisture) that work for my husband's sensitive skin.
