Mandy's Soap

Cinnamon and Orange

 

A small but fairly thick rough cut bar.

 

Packaging

Again, secure and can see the soap. Label gave good information but was a
little difficult to read.  I love the warning for sensitive skin.  I also
love the properties listed next to each of the oils.  Resealable!

 

Pre Shower Impressions

Packaging was easy to open and resealable.  The soap was fairly hard and
waxy with a slight oily feel but still dry.

The colouring was uneven giving a marbled effect.  Not sure if this was
deliberate or not but it is quite nice.

The cinnamon was very strong and I get a faint orangey note.  I think the
paprika may have influenced the scent a little as well.  Overall smells
spicy.

Moderate hardness when cut.

 

In The Shower

I thought there was going to be some colour bleeding but none!

I was initially a bit disappointed in the lather but once the soap got going
it was really, really good stable fluffy lather.

I thought the scent might have been overpowering in the shower but it was
actually quite a nice level.  Some vanilla would have taken the edge off the
cinnamon a bit (IMO).  No irritation from the cinnamon but then my skin is
very tolerant.  The scent lingered very slightly on my skin afterwards.

A moderately hard bar.

My skin felt great after using this soap

 

Overall Impressions

This soap performed really well and was interesting all round.  I liked the
colour and the feel of it.  The scent was a little raw for me but actually
really invigorating in the shower.  I really liked it and it had personality
