Lotus Bloom Handcrafted Soaps Haul

My boyfriend was watching the television a week ago, and he saw someone introducing another kind of organic soaps. He knew how much I love it that he immediately called me over to watch the program. I instantly checked the provided website as soon as the segment was over.

He and I agreed to buy one soap for every line from the Lotus Bloom Handcrafted Soaps has. You realize how difficult it was for me to pick, and I wanted to try ALL of them, but later on I agreed and bought a soap of each. (Soon I will try the rest of their soaps from our next purchase!)

I haven't tried nor heard about Lotus Bloom Handcrafted Soaps, and I am excited to prepare the list for me to purchase online!

I bought four soaps and an aromatherapy balm: Amihan (Flower Show), Mari (Herb Garden), Yemaya (Almost Edibles), Sari (Fragrance Free), and Braveheart (aromatherapy balm).




Days later, our package arrived! And... OMG! On first impression, the packaging of their soaps are just all on effort -- and you haven't seen yet once the box is opened! One quick sniff and I was blown away how it smells really good! I mean, really! I've tried some organic soaps all my life and it smells nice --- but not as heavenly as this! It feels like I am inside a SPA right in the comfort of my home. I don't know if I was having an awful week, but the positive vibes in these soaps awakes and astounds me! The packaging also has an affirmation written on the side as well. (YES for positive vibes!)


The Lotus Bloom Handcrafted Soaps are mindfully and lovingly made by hand from luxurious rich oils of olive, coconut, avocado, rice bran, jojoba, almond and palm using only the traditional process in soapmaking.    
Natural ingredients used in our products have been chosen for their cleansing, nourishing calming and moisturizing properties to skin.



Wait till you see once the box is opened! Each of their soaps has a huge cut, wrapped by a beautiful paper, and the soaps (yet again) smells so nice! The ingredients of the soaps are just simply divine! 

I haven't used neither of the soaps yet.




[ FRAGRANCE FREE ]
SARI (green tea & brown rice) - Php150
Luxurious brew of organic green tea, full of powerful antioxidants comingles with the ultimate beauty treatment of Japanese women for centuries, rice bran. With toasted organic brown rice, finely grounded into flour, gently exfoliates dead skin cells. Nurturing for sensitive skin. Named after the Balinese rice goddess, Dewi Sri.  

Made from distilled rainwater,  saponified oils of olive, palm  grapeseed and coconut with  finely grounded organic brown rice and organic green tea.

The scent: Subtle scent. Reminds me of oats.





[ HERB GARDEN ]
MARI (mandarin, patchouli & sea kelp) - Php150
This moisturizing caress from the ocean combines in a balanced blend sea-side inspired clean scents and hand-harvested seaweed packed-full of essential vitamins and anti-oxidants to help skin recover from a long day or a night out. Traditionally handcrafted using only the richest oils  of olive, palm, rice bran, coconut and avocado. 

Made from distilled rainwater,  saponified oils of olive,  avocado, coconut, palm and  rice bran with seaweed and essential oil blend of mandarin and patchouli.

The scent: It reminds me a little of... menthol. I scent simply draws me in.





[ ALMOST EDIBLES ]
YEMAYA (chocolate & mint) - Php150
A delightful swirly soap that looks and smells so good you'll be tempted to take a bite, but please dont! Save the conditioning goodness for your skin. Combining mint with the nourishing properties of chocolate, this creamy soap leaves you clean and fresh, happy and lip-smackin' bright! Its scent reminds me of minty chocolate chip ice cream. Mmmmmmm. 

Made from distilled rainwater,  saponified oils of olive, rice bran, coconut, palm with  chocolate and essential oil blend of peppermint and spearmint. 

The scent: I haven't even used it yet, but I could already
smell that minty and chocolate scent! It smells DELICIOUS!






[ FLOWER SHOW ]
AMIHAN (sampaguita & moringa) - Php150
Such a charming soap this is! Inspired by Amihan, the blithe goddess of the North Wind in pre-hispanic Philippine mythology, this bar evokes comforting tranquil scents to every Filipino who ventured away from motherland. Sampaguita's light, airy, uplifting fragrance is embraced by plant extracts of locally-grown healing Moringa oleifera. 

Made from distilled  rainwater,  saponified oils of olive, rice bran, avocado,  coconut, palm with Moringa oleifera (malunggay) and sampaguita essential oil.   

The Scent: I LOVE SAMPAGUITA! The scent is so mild and clean.
A huge bonus that it has Moringa extract in it!




Last, but not least... the aromatherapy balm, BRAVEHEART. - Php150

Contains extra virgin olive oil, virgin coconut oil, aloe vera and calendula extracts, essential oils of orange, tangerine, ginger, cinnamon and sandalwood to uplift your spirit. Grounding and warming scents.



I love that LOVE is written in the list of ingredients on the back of the product.
It really is a nice touch! Doesn't it bring a smile on your face? :)


The scent is simply fabulous. Makes me feel I am inside a kitchen; definitely reminds me of herbs. It has a nice uplifting smell to it too. I could rub it at night, feel the slight cooling sensation, and helps me drift away in my sleep.



I'm a (new) fan of Lotus Bloom Handcrafted Soaps! I am thankful my boyfriend happens to be watching television that day, or else I wouldn't know that these soaps exist -- positive vibes in a bar of soap and a small jar indeed! Can't wait to use these soaps! I will check their website in case they will have more soaps to be introduced in the market!

I really want to try their other soaps as well. :)

In the mean time, check their website and see if you might like... which I'm sure you do.
