I do not think it is an exaggeration to say that this soap is an absolute wonder. Containing only saponified olive oil, water and mineral salts it is incredibly gentle on my skin, which is easily irritated and often reacts badly to harsh chemicals. I managed to purchase 125g bar from Holland and Barrett for 99p, which in my mind was an absolute bargain. Although the bar is not particularly attractive (dull green in colour) I think this only goes to prove further that no unnecessary chemicals have been added in an attempt to brighten up its appearance.

I have since been using it as a face wash, a function which I find it is particularly useful for. The natural composition of the soap means that it does not dry out my skin and instead effectively cleanses it without causing any irritation. I have even been able to use it around my eye area with no aggravation whatsoever. Initially the bar was a bit unwieldy but with use it shrinks in size pretty rapidly and is much easier to use. All in all it was an amazing buy, one which I will most definitely be making again although the size of the bar means that the soap will hopefully last a while yet.
