The Joy of Soap Review and Giveaway!


Anyone who is a regular reader of this blog knows I love anything handmade. Handmade soap is no exception! The Joy of Soap is a company that makes products that are made with natural and organic ingredients. Plus they are cruelty free and vegan!

I got to try samples of three of their soaps! Peppermint Passion, Feeling Frisky, and Rosy Cheeks Rosemary! Now that I have tried all three, I can honestly tell you that I can't pick a favorite. They all smelled soooo good and I smelled great for hours after my shower!

Each bar of soap came packaged in a cotton muslin bag. On one side, the bags are labeled with the scent, company name and the words "Pamper Your Skin. Indulge Your Senses". On the other side, there is a label listing the soap's ingredients. The soaps contain olive, coconut, palm and castor oil and essential oils, so there is no guessing.

What makes The Joy of Soap unique?
  • 100% Green Practices and Ingredients- From ingredients, to wrapping and shipping, The Joy of Soap is environmentally aware!
  • Hand crafted and hand cut soaps made from scratch
  • All-Vegetable recipes begin with certified organic oils, sustainable and therapeutic grade essential oils and organic or wild crafted botanicals
  • Made from the finest quality ingredients resulting in a luxurious and soothing soap that is gentle on your skin
  • Essential oils and exfoliates used for aromatherapy and skin healthy benefits
  • All bars are made in a large 5 oz and a travel or guest 2 oz size



From their website:
All of our moisturizing spa soaps begin with a base of organic olive, coconut, and palm oils plus castor oil mixed with therapeutic grade essential oils and exfoliants. Our soaps are great for all skin types, and they are hand cut so the exact weight of each bar may vary slightly
