Earthwise Nourish Soap Review

I bought a 3-pack of Earthwise Nourish Lemongrass & Manuka Honey Natural Soap from my local Countdown when it was on special.

The 3-pack box contains three 90g rectangular, pale yellow soap bars and this botanical- and mineral-based soap is enriched with the healing properties of manuka honey to help cleanse and repair your skin.

I don't know if I've just been spoilt with using "luxury" soap bars, but I found that the lather that these bars just didn't product a nice, rich, creamy lather that felt smooth and soft on my skin. Don't get me wrong, they do lather nicely but it's quite a "hard" soap lather compared to the silky, soft lathers that I get when using a nice soap (yes, I am a soap snob). I hardly noticed it, until I switched over to using a bar of soap from The Body Shop after having just finished one of these. The difference in the softeness and creaminess of the lather was instantly noticeable!

Earth wise Nourish Lemongrass & Manuka Honey natural soap is made in New Zealand from naturally derived ingredients and is gentle on the planet too, as it contains no harsh chemicals, is GE-free, cruelty free and is grey water and septic tank safe. It's also suitable for the whole family to use.

It is a good, affordable soap but personally, if I have to compare like with like, I'd rather buy the EcoStore Lemongrass soap. It's also an affordable, natural soap that is available in supermarkets but it gives off a much better lather (softer, thicker and silkier) than the Earthwise Lemongrass.

This soap comes in a very earthy white box with three bars of soap inside. They are rectangle, pale yellow and quite plain, with the Earthwise logo stamped on them.

On removing a bar from the pack, the first thing that’s noticeable is the strong lemon scent – yum, I love citrus flavoured products!

The soap itself gets very foamy once it is wet , and as I have dodgy bones, I decided to remove it from the shower for fear of the floor being slippery. I have since been using it as a hand soap in the bathroom and after gardening. It leaves my hands clean without feeling dry.

I find it an excellent soap and recommend it to anyone who still uses soap!

I don't tend to use soap on my body, with a couple of exceptions. So this is often used in the bathroom as hand soap. Smells nice and does the job.

This soap is really nice. My favourite scent is Coconut and Gardenia, but Goat's Milk and Shea Butter is great too. It foams up well, it's not too drying, and the price is excellent.
