I usually go for liquid bodywash, but am currently on a tight budget so have started exploring bar soaps.
I bought the ecostore coconut soap on special for $1.90 and originally chose it because of its natural ingredients.
The smell is delicious and it definitely leaves me feeling fresh and clean. It claims to offer gentle exfoliation because of fine strands of coconut which are contained in the formula, but I didn't notice this being particularly effective.
I would definitely still buy this again because it has lasted 2 months (about the same time frame for a 250ml bottle of shower gel) but is far cheaper.
I am not usually a soap fan as I find it quite drying but when I was gifted an Ecostore soap in coconut I thought I would give it a good go.
It comes in a recyclable cardboard box which is cool. The soap smells amazing, I love anything coconut. It lathers up very well and leaves my skin feeling clean and soft. The scent lingers and leaves my bathroom smelling amazing.
I love that it is plant based with no nasties and is also cruelty free. A great NZ company with affordable and environmentally friendly products. I have tried a few things from this range now and am so far quite impressed.
This would make a lovely gift or part of a gift set. Keen to try the other scent. A great non drying soap!
