ecostore Soap

I'm not a soap person, I just never seem to use it and won't normally buy it for myself as I prefer liquid hand and body wash. I received this as part of a gift and in a project pan gave it a go.

The bar is rectangular and quite flat and a creamy colour. It has a lovely clean lemongrass scent which holds both in bar form and when lathered up, which it does really well! I like that it's quite a natural smell with no trace of chemical fakeness.

Performance-wise it both gives a thorough clean without leaving my skin feeling stripped of all it's natural oils, just as promised. While I'm still not the biggest soap fan, if I was to buy a bar this would be top of my list and I'd recommend it as a family-friendly option for all skin types.

I initially purchased this soap on sale at the supermarket because it appeared to be Eco friendly and natural and I wanted such a soap for the kids bathroom. We all love these soaps now. They are s great cheap alternative to the l'occitane verbena soap. I have them all through the towel cupboard and it smells divine. I find they don't last as long in the shower and get more soggy than triple milled bars of soap. I'm a bit anal about shower cleaning and I find these soaps don't leave an icky soap scum like some soaps/body washes can. Skin feels clean and smells fresh after using. I haven't noticed any extra moisturising effects or dryness. Very handy that I can pick them up with the grocery shop and it smells expensive.

I bought this soap after seeing it on Beauty Review and wondering what Ecostore products might be like.

It cost $2.00 on special at The Warehouse. It comes in a plain cardboard box with Ecostore branding – the box looked to be made of recycled paper, which is fine by me. I wouldn’t say the packaging is attractive but certainly sells the point that it is environmentally friendly.

The soap itself is white and square, and stamped with the Ecostore brand name. The flavour I bought is lemongrass, and it has a delightfully lemon fragrance to it, from the lemongrass oil it contains. It’s quite dusty and I did sneeze several times while handling it when it was dry. Once wet however, the bar keeps its shape and is smooth and soft. After using it, my skin feels clean and supple.

I like nice soaps, and this one is very nice. I recommend it to others and will repurchase myself.

This eco-friendly soap seems to last for ages in the shower, and doesn't cause my kids' eczema to break-out. This is now the only bar soap we buy and it's a great price considering how long it lasts and that it doesn't cause any irritation to the skin. And best of all, it's cruelty free and environmentally friendly, as well as locally made!

I love Ecostore products, this soap is NZ made with no nasty chemicals. The Lemongrass scent is lovely and this soap can be bought at supermarkets often on special.

I’m a big fan of enviroment friendly products so first off for that it gets a massive tick! NZ made so supporting local businesses is a goal off mine also.

Lemon smell leaves you feeling fresh and clean, is cheap and easily available at the supermarket.

I purchased the Manuka Honey & Kelp soap during lockdown as hand/body wash options were super limited. Nicely scented, a bare hint of the classic soap smell which i dislike but can't be helped i don't think. Has little scrubby bits (which could be the kelp?) which is gently exfoliating. Doesn't dry out my skin. Definitely one of the best soaps I have ever used and I am not a soap fan. Would repurchase if the need arose again.

I will reach for this bar soap if I'm in the mood for bar soap but more often than not I'm using a gel cleanser I just find bar soap impractical in saying that ecostore bar soap smell great and feel good

This is my in between go to bar. The kelp flavour on particular for the gentle exfoliation. I have sensitive skin so the more natural and straight forward the better. I have used this one in between grocery hauls especially when I can't find my pharmacy soaps. Very happy with the ecostpre range.
