Vallaya Cocoon Facial Soap - The Only Soap That Moisturizes and Stops Aging
Let me say this first...I'm not the type of person who uses soap when I take a shower or bath. I'm more of a body wash, bath bomb kinda gal. With that being said, when it comes to cleansing my face, I normally use a face cleanser that contains a little lather and contains Vitamin C or that fights aging.
I rarely use soap, as it can be drying to my skin and makes my face feel tight and sometimes itchy, due to the drying. My opinion of soap has changed! Well...it's changed due to this Vallaya Cocoon Facial Soap! This Vallaya Cocoon Facial Soap stays true to it's belief. After using it on my face, my face did NOT feel dry or itchy, but in fact, felt very soft and moisturized (which is very unusual when I had ever used soap!)
The Soap That Moisturizes and Stops Aging
The Vallaya Cocoon skin rejuvenation and face moisturizing soap contains Thai Silk Protein that rejuvenates and moisturizes your skin. It's truly one of kind. The soap will not harm your skin in any way and it gives your skin the nourishment and moisture it needs, to repair damaged skin and reduce the signs of aging.
Amazing Skin Rejuvenation & Skin Care Benefits
- Gently moisturizes and whitens skin
- Improves skin elasticity to reduce wrinkles and age marks
- Improves skin complexion to give you a younger fairer glow
- Completely safe to use, ideal for all skin types
- Reduces the visibility of age spots, dark circles, and puffiness
I don't know about you, but I need all the help I can get when it comes to reducing fine lines and puffiness around my eyes. I will definitely be using this soap as my regular face cleansing regime to see just how well this works around the eye area...I will keep you guys posted!
Fades Acne & Dark Spots
By combining the full benefits of Silk Protein extract, Morus Alba leaf extract, Aloe Barbadensis leaf juice, the Vallaya Cocoon Facial Cleanser Soap helps to face dark spots for a smooth and healthy result, fading acne spots.
What's best about this Vallaya Cocoon Facial Soap, is that it's perfect for all skin types; dry, normal and oily. The soap has a clean citrus scent and smells wonderful! It's silky to the touch and I love the yellow transparency of this soap. It just screams rejuvenation! Vallaya Cocoon Facial Soap uses the most effective ingredients without the addition of any fillers, parabens, additives or artificial colors. The only thing you will notice is a more moisturized, smooth and radiant skin!

Make Your Own Soaps With The Wild Herb Tree Melt and Pour Soap Bases
It seems like every time I visit Pinterest, someone is making their own soap. There are tons of DIY soap recipes and they all call for either Melt and Pour Soap Base or a recipe that involves a more timely procedure, cold press soaps using lye or rebatching.
I, myself, love the Melt and Pour procedure as it is SO MUCH EASIER and the soap base has already been created. All you have to do is melt the soap base in the microwave, remove and add your favorite essential oils, color and any other ingredients, such as an exfoliating element.
These soaps require you to use either a silicone mold to shape you soap or several other mold options. Silicone would be your best choice, as once it sets, it can easily be popped out. Using plastic or any other object of your choice can work, but may take a little more work in getting the soap out, without damaging the shape. You can make this process easier by lining your choice of soap molds with plastic wrap or parchment paper for easier removal.
The Melt and Pour Soap Base that I worked with in the photos shown here, is an Aloe and Coconut Oil base. It is from The Wild Herb Tree Etsy Shop and is a new soap base that The Wild Herb Tree has created. The clear soap base is really easy to cut into pieces, all it takes is a knife and it goes right through, easily.
The two different soap photos shown are what I've created with The Wild Herb Tree's Aloe Soap Base. The darker one is the Coffee Scrub Exfoliating Scrub Soap and the yellow soap is the Lemon Zinger.
The Coffee Scrub Exfoliating Soap contains the Aloe soap base, coffee grounds, Vanilla and Sandalwood essential oil and a little cocoa powder. The coffee grounds & cocoa powder is what gives this soap it's color. The yellow soap, the Lemon Zinger, contains the Aloe soap base, lemon essential oil and lemon zest from 3 lemons. Both were exceptionally easy to make!
I had so much fun creating these soaps with The Wild Herb Tree's Soap base and I can't wait to make more. This was my very first attempt and I'm so proud! Soap making is SO addicting!
The Wild Herb Tree has 20 items in their shop ranging from Handmade Soaps, Beeswax Candles, Melt & Pour Bases and more. Go check out The Wild Herb Tree for your soap bases and start creating your own unique soaps, now!

Soap.Club Review

This Soap that I received, was the Plumeria Island Escape scent. It is a pretty pinkish swirl bar of soap, that is larger and perfect square shaped. The scent is awesome! As soon as I removed the soap from it's box, you could instantly smell it. It has this wonderful floral relaxing scent that I can't get enough of!
This soap is by Soap.club and they have many many scents to choose from, such as: Plumeria Island Escape, Kona Coffee, Summer Citrus Fruit, Sweet Pea and many more. Soap.club ages their soap up to 6 weeks and is made with the purest ingredients that will waken up your senses. Soap.club makes every single bar by hand, from the stirring to the actual shaping and boxing of their soaps. They take pride in what they do,and it shows in their product.
The soaps are cold pressed, to enhance the fragrance. When you use the soap, it lathers really really well and feels almost like lotion. If you think this soap smells wonderful when you first open it up, wait until you lather up with it. It's like being indulged by the fragrance.
You can check out other soaps by Soap.club by visiting their site.

Foxbrim Natural Hand and Body Soap Review

Foxbrim's Natural Hand and Body Soap is currently sitting on my kitchen sink. I love the pump bottle, as it makes it very easy to dispense soap into my hands instead of having to open a bottle or grabbing the Dawn from underneath the sink.
Foxbrim's Natural Hand and Body Soap comes in a dark, 8oz bottle and has a dispense pump. The yellow label on the bottle makes it very noticeable, especially if you are the type of person who wants to store in underneath the sink once you're done in the kitchen (I used to do this all the time, but found it easier to just leave it out.)
It doesn't take much of the soap to clean your hands. I barely pushed down on the pump and got a dime size, which is plenty. The soap is so silky and smooth and cleans really well. I didn't notice any scent to the soap, but this soap is 100% natural and 98% organic, making it the perfect hand and body soap without all the additives.
You'll get a powerful, yet gentle cleansing with Foxbrim's Natural Hand and Body Soap. The soap is perfect for not only you hands, but also for your face. The soap is perfect for all skin types and gently enough for the most sensitive skin. There are no synthetic agents or questionable ingredients in this soap.
The Foxbrim Natural Hand and Body Soap contains no: Fillers, Fragrances, Detergents, Lathering Agents, Parabens, Silicones or Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. It's all Natural and 98% organic.
If you want a hand soap and body soap that is all natural, organic and free of all the fillers an additives, you must try Foxbrim's Natural Hand and Body Soap. I love it and I believe you will too! You can go HERE to purchase yours today.

Zinc Oxide Powder Review

First of all, this Zinc Oxide powder allows you to make your own sunscreen and other products, CHEMICAL FREE. I've read several articles about making your own sunscreen, how you can't possibly get the correct SPF right and if you did, then it wouldn't go on like a smooth sunscreen. Let me put that to rest. With this Zinc Oxide powder...YOU CAN!
This product is 100% pure, non-nano and uncoated...meaning, being non-nano, you will get the results you are looking for when making your own sunscreen. This Zinc Oxide has astringent properties and will provide 28 times the skin's natural protection against the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays.
This tub of Zinc Oxide powder has a small measuring scoop for you convenience, for measuring out just the right amount of powder. You will get a free e-book, with recipes, showing the variety of things you can make from this.
This Zinc Oxide Powder by La Lune Naturals can be purchase at Amazon or you can visit their site at La Lune Naturals for more info. The powder at Amazon has a list price of $29.99, but is on sale, now, for $14.99.
