This post will be about the Romance Conditioning Bath soap from Sweet Creek Herbs. Initially when I ordered a sample of 5 soaps from Sweet Creek Herbs, I received a sample of their Walk in the Woods conditioning bath soap. I was pretty impressed with this soap being effective and conditioning, so I ordered a few other samples of other bath soaps from them. The name of the soap made me order it. And I tried it pretty soon after I received it.
This soap is described as:
Romance is made to reflect this designer scent fragrance. The supplier describes this fragrance oil as "a beautiful feminine blend of jasmine and rose with melon, musk and blond woods."
This soap contains these ingredients:
coconut oil, sodium hydroxide solution, organic sunflower oil, castor oil, sustainable palm oil, avocado oil, lip safe mica, fragrance oil, shea butter
This soap is pink in color, and has a fragrant smell. It is a sample size of 16-17 grams and lasts a few washes, like 6 washes at least. This is advertised as a vegan, luxurious and conditioning bath soap. This soap contains lip safe mica, for someone looking for a 100% natural soap, this may be something to consider.
This soap lathers and is conditioning as it claims. I do not need to use a moisturizer during the warm and non-winter months. It does stand up to its name this way. But...but, I do not like the fragrance at all! There is something about this scent, may be the musk or something else in the scent, which I totally hated. I used up the sample, thank God it was just a sample! The scent does not linger strongly on my skin, which is an added bonus in this case.
Though this soap is brilliant on all other counts, I will not be buying this soap only because of the smell.

Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve - Dead Sea Spa soap
Among my orders from Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve, I ordered some samples of body and face soaps too. I have been using some of these soaps too for some time. One of the first soaps I used is Chagrin Valley Dead Sea Spa soap. Actually, my husband volunteered to try this first. This is a review from both of our experiences:
The website describes this soap as:
Mineral rich Dead Sea Mud stimulates blood circulation, rejuvenates skin, and deep cleans to remove impurities. The fine, natural grain of the mud softly, yet effectively, sloughs off dead skin cells and leaves the skin looking fresh and radiant. Use our natural Dead Sea Spa soap to experience a mini-spa treatment for dull, tired skin, with every bath or shower.
And the ingredients are:
Organic Coconut Oil; Sunflower Oil; Organic Sustainable Palm Oil; Olive Oil; Water; Virgin Shea Butter; Dead Sea Mineral Mud; Sodium Hydroxide; Organic Canola Oil; Castor Oil; Dead Sea Clay; Sea Kelp; Essential Oils of Lime, Litsea Cubeba, Lavender, Rosemary, Orange, Eucalyptus; Organic Cornstarch; Rosemary Oil Extract
The idea of dead spa mineral mud was super appealing! The idea that I may experience a spa-like feeling during every shower was what drew me to this soap. I have used multani mitti in the past for facials masks and always liked the way my skin felt afterwards. I expected Dead Sea mud to have a similar effect.
Anyways as for the description of the soap, it is a grey colored soap, rather slate colored. It has an herbal scent with some citrus scent and another scent, must be the Litsea Cubeba which may be helpful with acne prone skin and oily skin conditions. It is quite distinctive in the soap. My husband tried it first and didn't like it much. So I decided to use it up.
It lathers well, like all Chagrin Valley soaps. Quite a hardy soap I must say. Cleanses a little too well. I was always left with more-on-the-dry-side skin after using this soap. And I tried it during the summer months. I had to use a moisturizer to avoid feeling tight skin. It could be the mud that is a little too cleansing in this soap. This could be used every now and then may be, like a clarifying soap bar. That is how I used it up after realizing that it dries up my skin. But if I need a clarifying action on my skin, I shall use the gram flour at home rather than buy any soap, honestly.
Verdict is, no, I shall not buy this bar again. It is not a bad product or bad in quality. Just that I see no purpose for it.
