This is a good soap, and not too expensive. I bought the bar I reviewed for this article at Whole Foods for about $3.49. It’s not the cheapest bar of soap on the rack, but if you want a nice organic soap complete with the clean green smell of tea tree oil, this is a nice soap to use.
I feel that it washes off clean, smells good, and has a nice solidity to it. It’s not as soft as some other organic soaps I’ve used, doesn’t get mushy in hot water, and so doesn’t get used up too quickly.
If I added anything negative about this particular soap, it would be that it doesn’t really stand out. It’s not a bar of soap that I feel I need to keep a stock of in the house, although I will definitely buy it again in the future.
The list of ingredients follows:
- Saponified Organic Coconut*
- Organic Palm & Organic Olive* Oils (w/ Retained Glycerin)
- Water
- Organic Hemp Oil
- Organic Jojoba Oil
- Tea Tree Extract
- Salt
- Citric Acid
- Vitamin E
(Ingredients marked with an asterisk are “certified fair trade ingredients”.)
As you can see from the ingredients, the presence of tea tree oil comes from the tea tree extract, which is also one of the last ingredients in the list. The soap does have a tea tree oil smell to it.
I’m looking forward to trying a soap with a little bit more tea tree oil in it.
