Sabun Olive Oil Soap with Bay Laurel Oil Review

I was really excited to be a part of this trial. For the last 2 years I have been using oil based solid shampoo bars on my hair and body.

This arrived in a nice recyclable cardboard box, green and white. When I opened this to have a quick peek the smell was quite strong I thought at first I didn't like it but then it kind of grew on me. It smells natural and clean and you can smell that olive oil type smell.

Its a large size bar much larger than I was expecting. Its a greeny/brown type colour it looks exactly like what you expect a natural olive oil soap to look like. I couldn't wait to try this in the shower!. I used this as an all over body soap, I normally just use my solid shampoo as a body wash so I did the same with this. This was really nice and smooth on my skin it lathers nicely and was great to use for shaving my legs etc. I then wet my hair and run the bar over my scalp and the ends of my hair a few times and worked it into a lather. I rinsed this out with just water and that's all I did (I don't normally use a conditioner with my solid shampoo's so I wanted to try to use it the same way).

My skin felt great after the shower, clean, smelt clean and fresh and didn't dry out my skin it managed to keep my skin feeling soft and smooth.

My hair felt great, I towel dried and brushed with my tangle teezer and left it to air dry like I normally do. I also always put a small amount of argan oil through the ends of my hair. It dried well and actually made my hair more wavy than usual. I was really pleasantly surprise by how my hair scrubbed up with this.

The only thing I noticed with this because my hair is a medium/dark blonde it did make my hair colour seem a wee bit darker i'm not to sure on the reason for this perhaps it wasn't quite as light and fluffy as usual.

Overall for the really reasonable price of this I would definitely buy this again. I probably wouldn't use this for my hair as my current solid shampoo does a nicer job for me but I would definitely use this on my body. Being such a big bar it would last you a really long time.

I give this a thumbs up :)

I was lucky enough to get on a trial team for this soap and have been using it for the last 7 days sometimes twice a day. First impressions was woah this is huge and a bit ugly but its smells so nice, a real fresh unisex scent. I suffer from eczema and psoriasis so my skin reacts to pretty much everything. Not this soap though. It took a bit to lather up the first use and the size of the bar made it a bit awkward for my little hands. Eventually it did later up well and felt really nice on my skin, even the irritated patches. I noticed the more I have used it the better my skin is feeling, soft and buttery and my red flare ups have actually reduced a bit. According to the box I need to use for a month to start to see the real benefits and since the bar is so large I look forward to seeing how else this soap will benefit. All in all a flawless product and I will totally buy again

My husband used to call this watermelon soap as a kid, he had grown up using this soap as a child and so did his parents and grandparents, I am not sure how far back this family tradition went back but I was fortunate to try this for myself a little under 2 years ago when we went to visit his family in Dubai.

The first time using this soap I was interested in the colour, and the smell. The colour and smell are very unusual and unique to many soaps out there. I was so impressed with how moisturizing this soap was, I get dry arms and legs, there was no need to moisturize after washing. The smell stays on your skin for hours.

You can also use this to wash your hair, you just lather the soap into your hair and rinse. Your hair will be soft and smell like soapy olives.

There is one disappointment with this soap. My son has sensitive skin and when we have wash him with this he gets a really bad rash, I would highly recommend a patch test if you have sensitive skin.

Other than that this soap is really great, versatile and it lasts a long time! My mother in law always brings us more when she visits.
