Aunt Nancy's Soap {review}


I stumbled upon Aunt Nancy's Soap in a search for a campfire scented soap. I know, random right? I ALWAYS get these ideas in my head that I will completely love certain scents before even getting a whiff! So while I was obsessively searching for campfire scented things, I settled on purchasing the Campfire soap (and another) from Aunt Nancy's Soap.  And from this, I have found one of my favorite soaps ever!

{the soap}

And no, despite my ramblings about campfire, it was not the one. I actually haven't given that one a shot yet, since I got so hung up on the other bar I purchased. Which was…. *drumroll please*…  the scrumptious Creamy Peppermint with Chocolate Swirl!

The soap is absolutely DIVINE! It is so minty fresh and has lead to now love all things minty.  In the shower, the scent is quite refreshing and it tingles my senses. I love to stand there and just inhale the minty-ness of it all! In fact, to make it even more refreshing, I turn the water to cold(er) and enjoy the icy peppermint aroma.

Not only does this soap smell fantastic, it also feels fantastic! There's a good amount of creamy lather and the bar glides so smoothly across the skin. But it's not too slippery that I can't keep a hold of it in the shower. It rinses off well with no slick residue left on the skin. In fact, it's quite softening and the peppermint scent lingers lightly for a bit.

And just to let you know how much I truly love this soap, let me explain a little something to you. When I get a new soap, I cut it into smaller pieces, say about 4-6 pieces per bar. I do this in part to make the bar last longer. But also, I have so many different soaps (as you can see here), I like to switch it up a lot and smaller pieces are perfect for that. From many bars, I've only tried one piece (and some I haven't even tried yet!). However, with the Creamy Peppermint soap, I am down to my very last chunk of soap. I can't remember the last time I completely finished a bar of soap! I always have to have it in my shower, and 75% of the time, it will be the soap I pick to lather up with.

Now that right there is some soapy love!

{ingredients}

Olive oil, goat milk, distilled water, sodium hydroxide, coconut oil, sweet almond oil, cocoa oil, peppermint essential oil, and cocoa powder. 

{conclusion}

Would I purchase again? Most definitely! I am going to NEED to soon once I run out! Although, I may be able to hold off a bit considering I have placed another order with Aunt Nancy's Soap and should try out the new soaps I got - Eucalyptus Mint and Tahitian Vanilla (both smell delightful). I sense some great soap adventures in the near future!  I urge you to go check out Aunt Nancy's Soap and start your own soapy adventures!
