Soapwalla is hands down one of the best natural skincare lines I have tried. I’ve tried many different products, and although they are natural and organic, they just don’t measure up to my girlie need for something indulgent. I’m a reformed bath product junkie, so the stuff I choose now has to be safe and also work well.  But to impress me, it needs to make me feel like I’ve invested in something special. I know I found a line of products that meet all my standards when I look forward to getting out of the shower to use them.  This is the case with the products I have tried from Soapwalla.

Rachel, the “chef” behind the Soapwalla kitchen, created a line of truly natural products that not only work but they also smell and feel unbelievably awesome.  Rachel, the kind soul she is, sent me 4 samples, and while I loved them, I immediately went to her store and ordered 2 things: Her Deodorant Cream and the Luxurious Body Oil.  I’ll tell you why.

One Of The Best Natural Deodorants Is Soapwalla Deodorant Cream

After using her Deodorant Cream, I was totally hooked. At first, I thought, “I have to slap this on like spackle into my pits?” But in soapwalla body oilreality, you simply smooth a little bit on after a shower, and that’s it.  You never feel sticky or wet.

After a week or so of using it in warm (read: hot sweaty) Florida it has been effective enough to keep me odor free.  With some other natural deodorants, I have had to reapply during the day, and on one occasion, I reeked after a few hours.

I don’t use that one anymore…. do you see what I do for you ladies? I SUFFER WITH B.O. just to find out what works best.  You can thank me later.  With products.  Or love and admiration. Whichever.

There are some I’m still trying and some I still use depending on the day, but Soapwalla’s Deodorant Cream is definitely an awesome and effective product. It gets the LovelyMama seal of approval.

A Light Non-Greasy Moisturizing Body Oil

I also want to talk about her Luxurious Moisturizing Body Oil.

To start, I love body oils over lotions.  Lotions usually need some emulsifying ingredient, typically a chemical or chemically processed wax or stearate. So I use a lot of lotion bars and oils to compensate.  I’ll admit that I love the idea of lotion more due to the ease of use and tend to choose them over oils when I’m in a hurry since oils can leave you feeling greasy for a bit while they soak in.

However, there are certain cases when body oils don’t feel like you’re bathing in olive oil.  This is one of them.  Soapwalla’s Luxurious Moisturizing Body Oil goes on really light and absorbs in a reasonable time, so I don’t ever wish I had chosen lotion.

And the scent? Ooooohhhh my.  If I were a scent, I would be this one.  It’s light and citrusy but has a delicate floral component, so it has a certain feminine appeal.  After using it, I feel girlie and pretty.  No need for phthalate-ridden perfumes.  I just sniffed my arm, and I still smell it – clean and girlie – even after running around all day. In a word: LOVE.

Soapwalla only uses organic ingredients and oils and never uses icky preservatives or chemicals.  I will be shopping there again.  My next splurge? Organic Citrus Grove Soap Bar and some Almond Joy Body Polish.
