Soulflower My Sweet Skin Soap Review

Soulflower My Sweet Skin Soap Review

Hello Everyone,
Today, I will be reviewing the My Sweet Skin Soap from Soulflower. Before few days, I have shared the preview of 4 New Soulflower soaps with you all. This soap is one among them and it is specially formulated for normal skin types. I have a normal-oily facial skin and normal body skin; hence picked this soap immediately :) (And also for the name My Sweet Skin!) I have been using this soap just for a week now but couldn't wait to share my views with you all. Read my detailed review below!

My Experience with Soulflower My Sweet Skin Soap


Packaging: This soap comes in no fancy carton or something but it is packed in a clear transparent cover with the ingredient names and images printed over it. The packaging looks natural and gives that natural product feel :)

Colour, Consistency & Fragrance: This is a peach colored, plain rectangular bar shaped soap which is hard and huge. I have cut this soap into 2 pieces to prevent quick melting and also for easy handling. The texture of this soap is smooth and there are no granules present in the soap. The fragrance can be said bold, spicy and natural. I did not find any artificial hint in the fragrance however sensitive noses might not like it much. This is not a problem for me though as it doesn't linger after bath.

How it works: This Soulflower My Sweet Skin soap just works perfectly on my normal skin. It lathers creamy and washes out in a second with a single splash of water. It doesn't leave any slippery feel behind on my skin even though being smooth and creamy on application. My skin is left smooth and squeaky clean after using this soap. I don't even want a loofah to exfoliate my skin as this one just cleared out all the impurities, dirt and sweat. The spiced bold fragrance prevented sweat for a long time and overall, I love this soap and would repurchase it ever for my normal skin. Even though being formulated for normal skin types, this soap did not leave my skin dry or greasy. My skin felt just smooth and clean! The only problem with this soap is that you should store in a dry place or else it will get creamy and melt soon. It claims to contain kesar for the improvement of skin texture but I cannot comment on that part much as I have just started using it. Anyhow, it made my skin texture smooth comparatively hence I guess this would improve my skin tone and texture well if used regularly. I don't mind the price for the quantity and worth of this soap. If you have normal skin type and you love bold spicy, natural fragrances, grab this soap quickly! My skin really feels SWEET and clean after using it :)

Pros of Soulflower My Sweet Skin Soap

  • Made of all natural ingredients
  • Cleanses skin very effectively
  • Produces creamy lather and washes off quickly
  • There is no slippery feel left behind; skin feels squeaky clean
  • Removes sweat odour and prevents sweat for a long time
  • Some will like its bold spiced fragrance which is more on the natural side 
  • Improves skin texture with regular usage
  • Doesn't leave skin stretchy or greasy
  • A perfect soap for normal skin types as per the claim!
  • The quantity is reasonable for the price
  • Does not irritate skin or cause any side effects
  • 100% vegetarian soap; they don't even add milk and honey to their products.
  • Easily available online.

Cons of Soulflower My Sweet Skin Soap

  • I have no big con to mention about such a good product but the only thing I felt is that, the bold spiced fragrance might not impress the sensitive-nosed beauties out there.

Makeup and Beauty Home: 4/5


Recommendation: Do you have a normal skin type? Do you want your bathing bars to be natural smelling and gentle on your skin? Do you want that squeaky clean effect with less water and time? Go ahead and pick this soap! It is my current holy grail bathing soap.

My First Impression on Soulflower My Sweet Skin
This soap is specially formulated for normal skinned people and hence I am definitely going to use it :) I am going to be the one who reviewing it here soon. I haven't yet used this soap yet but the soap looks so natural. It is hard compared to the other 2 soaps (Don't include oil be gone; it's equally hard too) and has a light beige colour. The ingredients almond, apricot, lemon, rosemary are very good for our skin! And Kesar! I need Kesar for my skin now to even out the summer tan :D My detailed review on My Sweet Skin is coming up very soon! I wish this soap would make my skin really sweet :P

My First Impression on Soulflower Oil Be Gone
Though I have oily-combo skin in humid climatic conditions I have that little fobia of using oily skin products. I doubt whether they would strip off excess moisture from my skin but I don't mind giving this soap a try because it promises to moisturize the skin with grapefruit and grapeseed oils :) But still, I am not using it till next summer. Let Babble use and review this. She has the most oiliest skin is the world lol :D Otherwise, the ingredients are tempting and promising. I believe that this soap wouldn't leave your skin any extra dry even it does its oil clearing job well. Umm let's see. And I forgot to say, Oil Be Gone is light Peach in colour :) I guess that these two, the My Sweet Skin & Oil Be Gone would last long than the other 2 soaps as they are hard compared to them.

My First Impression on Soulflower Feels Like Silk
Check the name 'Feels Likes Silk' ! I was about to pick this in my hand instead of My Sweet Skin at the first :) Both are cute names but who wouldn't love their skin to be like silk? This soap is specially formulated for people with dry skin hence I believe this would be a huge hit for dry skins in upcoming winter. My mom has dry skin and may be I will ask her to use and review it. I am very much curious to try out this soap but I don't think this would suit my facial skin as I have an oily T-Zone but still I will definely pick one for me atleast for the name 'Feel Like Silk' and use it on my body :) This is a moderately-soft (If I press it out from the cover, I can see my finger prints on the soap) jaggery coloured soap and I am not sure about the fragrance of any of these 4 soaps as they aren't opened yet. To know more about them, all you should do is wait for the reviews :)


Soulflower Calm My Skin Soap (For Sensitive Skin)



Product Description:
Protect, soothe and maintain extremely sensitive skin with this soap, made using only the cleanest natural ingredients. Specially designed with gentle moisturizers like almond, avocado & jojoba oils known to calm flare-ups of visible redness & irritation. We use fresh aloevera juice to deliver the plants' calming & restorative properties in its most concentrated and natural form. Cocoa butter is known to reduce skin blotches, scars & stretch marks and makes out soap so creamy you will just love it! Its time to pamper your skin, keep it hydrated and looking beautifully healthy.

Price and Quantity: Rs.250 for 150gm

Ingredients:
Fresh aloevera juice, almond, avocado, jojoba oils, cocoa butter, Vitamin E, aqua, permitted edible aroma, saponified oils of coconut & palm.

My First Impression on Soulflower Calm My Skin
This soap is for you if you  have extra-sensitive skin type. The ingredient list is compact and we can find all natural ingredients present here. I guess this would smell great and give a luxurious bathing experience due to the presence of Cocoa butter :) If you have sensitive skin, pick this without any second thought. This soap is very light cream in colour and is soft like the Feel Like Silk soap.


My Overall Views About these New Soulflower Soaps:

  • The launch of these 4 soaps would help many people out there who are confused about choosing a bathing bar for their skin type. Oil, normal, dry or sensitive, you can find your perfect match here :)
  • These soaps are made of natural vegetable oils and essential oils; and they are 100% Vegetarian soap. They don't even use honey or milk to prepare it! That's pretty unique right?
  • Rs.250 for a soap? Hmm do you actually mind? But no, not me! These soaps are big, bar sized and made of all natural ingredients hence I don't mind spending 250 bucks on a good bathing soap. 150g is a good quantity for a soap too. I am planning to cut it into 2 or 4 and use it. This would prevent quick melting of the soap.
