Review: By Nature Handmade Soaps

Hi! I'm currently on maternity leave,waiting for the arrival of my lil bundle of joy. Im expected to give birth soon, and once that happens, I'll let you guys know. :D

I have to tell you that my pregnancy taught me a lot of things, and one of them is using organic products. Lately I have been on an organic products splurge, and one of the organic brands that I'm currently addicted to is By Nature Handmade soaps. The soaps are very skin friendly, and is reasonably priced since the bars are kinda large, they would last you a long time, provided that you follow the instructions given.

I made my purchases thru Ebay and Dianne's site. I ordered Olive Beauty, Cocoa Butter Melt, MilkenHoney, and Icy Choco. Descriptions are from the official By Nature website, but I have added a few things just to let you know on what I personally think about them.

Olive Beauty - Using this castile soap everyday will keep your skin soft and supple. Olive oil is known to nourish the skin and help it retain its moisture. It also provides protection for all skin types, especially for dry and sensitive skin. This olive oil-enriched bar is so mild that it is safe to use even on infants. Price: P155.00 for a 120-150g bar

What I think about it: This is a very good soap for those who have uber dry skin. It kept my skin moisturized, but still it wasn't enough for my uber uber dry skin. I guess being pregnant made my skin very dry,and with the kind of weather that we have right now, having dry, dehydrated skin can't be avoided. But for those who just wants extra moisture, this is the right bar for you.



Milkenhoney - The perfect soap for those who love anything with milk and honey. The milk makes your skin feel extra soft and supple after every wash, while the honey acts as a natural moisturizer and antibacterial. Price: P95.00/120-150g bar

What I think about it: I love this soap. It cleanses very well without leaving any icky residue behind, and moisturizes at the same time. I use this on my face twice a day for about 2 weeks now, and I havent experienced any nasty breakouts with this soap. Highly recommended.



Icy Choco - For chocolate-mint lovers, enjoy bathing with the stimulating scent of peppermint and the mild exfoliation of cocoa powder. This delicious-looking soap will leave your skin feeling cool and refreshed all over. It also gives out a wonderful lather which is simply a bonus for you! Price: P95.00/120-150g bar

What I think about it: LOVE! This is my favorite among all the bars that I have purchased. The minty feeling is perfect for the scorching hot weather that we have right now, and the scent leaves me and my bathroom smelling good. Even hubby likes it.


Cocoa Butter Melt - Your skin will get all the pampering it needs from the cocoa butter in this soap, with soothing and emollient qualities that will leave your skin all soft and moisturized. Price: P95.00/120-150g bar

What I think about it: I was surprised when I saw that this bar had very small grains in it, since it wasnt a part of the description. But that did not make this a bad soap; Surprisingly, I like this better than Olive Beauty because I just think that my skin loved this soap more than the latter. But it's just my opinion.


Overall, I'm happy with BNHS soaps. Caring for your skin has never been this good. I will definitely repurchase once I've run out of them.
