But that is not...Okey, this soap looks like horror. But that is not the worst. They have made soap by using sodium hydroxide (lye), which is how soap is supposed to be made. And then, they have added sodium laureth sulfate to the soap. Which is totally strange and unhealthy. I guess it is a cheap way to add more bubbles to the soap instead of use a better formula in the first place. And then they have added preservatives. Bar soap does not need preservatives. So this is some crap of a product. It must be much better to buy real handmade soap from an artisan instead of from this Lush company that tries to sell "handmade" soap that is really crappy made. Judging by the ingredients, it will not last long as well. A poorly made product, that got even worse after the reformulation. Notice that sodium hydroxide have jumped down on the ingredient list, to almost last. That means that they have made less real soap, if any at all. That small amount of sodium hydroxide is not enough to call it a soap. It is a detergent bar. Artisan soapmakers make ten times better products, that is real soap. Real soap is both better for you and better for the environment.<br /><br />I was shocked when I read that Lush praised synthetic musk. So healthy and environmental friendly. Yes, right! Synthetic musk is one very big environmental disaster. Lakes and oceans are packed full of it. And stupid Lush tries to trick customers to believe it is sooo fabulous. They also tried to make us believe that whales had to be killed for musk. Which is terribly insane. Ambergris, which is amber, not musk, comes from sperm whales. You can not kill them to extract it. Ambergris if found on the beaches. It has to be very mature, decades old, otherwise it will smell like poo, and it is totally worthless. But matured ambergris is very exclusive, and it is collected on the beaches. It is a sperm whale waste product, and very environmentally friendly, as well as animal friendly. But Lush want us to believe in lies. Short, a crappy company with crappy products.

I...I have one of these, but have not used it yet. I might tie this up in a little muslin or cheesecloth bag, to catch the oatmeal chunks that fall off, and use it as kind of a soap-in-a-sealed-washcloth thingy. Will see how that works... :\Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1277402438305099615.post-57803575280761001332016-01-11T10:42:59.747-08:002016-01-11T10:42:59.747-08:00Thanks, Lisa :)Thanks, Lisa :)thebestserumhttp://thebestserum.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1277402438305099615.post-30793585409734438132015-06-08T08:13:35.301-07:002015-06-08T08:13:35.301-07:00"one of the reasons why it didn't receive..."one of the reasons why it didn't receive full marks from me," Jen darling,you did give it full marks!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
