There is something\u00a0very satisfying about handmade skin care products.\u00a0 So pure and straight-forward \u2013 you can almost feel the passion that goes into them.\u00a0 Such is the case with Soapwalla products.<\/p>\n

Soapwalla Chef (and yes, she does call herself a chef) Rachel Winard was kind enough to send me a selection of her lovely handmade skin care products.\u00a0 Rachel carefully creates Soapwalla products right in her own Brooklyn-based kitchen. Her inspiration came from her own skin-sensitivity issues, and all Soapwalla products are made with organic, food-grade ingredients, vegan, and toxin-free.<\/p>\n

The samples I tried were as follows:\u00a0 Deodorant Cream, Restorative Face Serum, Luxurious Body Oil, Lemongrass & Green Tea and Eucalyptus Soap Bars.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with the soap bars.\u00a0 I can always appreciate a good, natural soap bar.\u00a0 They are like a pretty chunk of candy for your skin.\u00a0 Though I am not usually very eucalyptus-y, the Eucalyptus Soap <\/a>is so demure and the smooth lather makes it a pleasure to use.\u00a0 Also, it is solid white which is just so modern and summer-fresh.\u00a0 The Lemongrass & Green Tea Soap <\/a>also has a clean, fresh scent, and is my kid\u2019s favorite.<\/p>\n

Next up, the Deodorant Cream<\/a>.\u00a0 Now, you do need to use your fingers to rub this in, but it does soak right into skin, leaving behind no white residue.\u00a0 The day I sampled this product was actually my daughter\u2019s recital and the auditorium was so hot and humid, so it was a great test.\u00a0 I stayed freshly scented and the finely ground vegetable powders and clay helped to keep me dry.\u00a0 Not a small feat on that particular outing.<\/p>\n

Serums are something I often steer clear of because; a) I have an allergy to aloe and many natural serums use an aloe base, and b) they are not quite moisturizing enough for my dry skin.\u00a0 Restorative Face Serum <\/a>is actually a combination of nourishing oils and is super hydrating, but soaks right into skin so isn\u2019t at all greasy.\u00a0 Totally love this stuff \u2013 perfect for sun and surf dried summer skin.<\/p>\n

Ah, and last but not least, the Luxurious Body Oil<\/a>.\u00a0 You will seriously have dreams about the delicious aroma of this moisturizing oil.\u00a0 It sinks into skin, imparting a subtle sheen and the scent (like a dewy tropical flower garden) is absolutely divine.\u00a0 I can\u2019t wait to get my hands on a big bottle.<\/p>\n

You can purchase any of the Soapwalla products on Etsy<\/a>, where you can view the entire line and complete ingredient listings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
