r/Soap

Hey fellow Redditors and soap enthusiasts! I have an honest review of Southern Luxe Savon soaps. The creator of the soaps is a good friend of mine, and she’s passionate about skincare without the chemicals. Before I continue let me be crystal clear : I’m not being paid to make this review, I just truly believe in the mission and was blown away by the product. All photos provided I took of the items I ordered once received. Now on to the review:
She sells soap bars in full bar form or in guest bar size. Both are equally beautiful in their own ways! So far I have tried the Rose Silk Noir, my girlfriend tried the Spiritual Gangster, and dad tried the Royal Miel! As someone with a highly sensitive sense of smell, fragrances usually are overwhelming or headache inducing. However, the scents in each individual bar were absolutely heavenly. Seriously, they smell amazing and you won’t believe me until you smell one for yourself.
The full size bars are huge and I can imagine it will last a long time. The lather is great especially if you have a loofah or even just a washcloth. I work long 10-12 hour days and get covered in dirt, sunscreen, sweat, you name it. By the end of the day, my skin is usually blackened by it all. I was optimistic but not confident this bar soap could tackle that at all but LET ME TELL YOU! It does wonders!! Not only has my shower time decreased due to not needing to scrub every inch of my body for a prolonged time, my sensitive skin has had no reactions and it feels so soft and clean after each use. For context, my whole life I will randomly get contact dermatitis from different things and most of the time I never know what, and I have to use special laundry detergent and skin soaps just to not get painful rashes daily. I’ve also noticed my skin is way more hydrated than before. I had so much dry skin but honestly it feels balanced since using this product. Not too oily but I’m nowhere near dried out.
I know a lot of folks like me have struggled to find a soap that gets the job done but doesn’t cause any allergic reactions, so this is another reason I felt compelled to make this review. Hopefully I can help someone cut their search short! She also carries specialty bars for facial cleansing, self-breast examination, skin sensitive goal milk bar, as well as shaving cream! There are more “manly” scents and soaps as well for any men in your life looking for something to make their shower and shave experience feel more luxury.

All in all: I give these soaps a 10/10 for scent, a 10/10 for cleansing ability, and an additional 10/10 for being safe for (my) highly sensitive skin. My girlfriend and dad give the soaps a 10/10 on all fronts as well. Please check out her site and feel free to add reviews to this post. Her site has the mission as well as ingredient list and a list of ingredients never used in the soaps. It started because my friend’s mom is currently fighting a hard battle against cancer, and she couldn’t find anything “clean” to wash her in. Thank you for reading and hug your loved ones a lil tighter ❤️

Used oatmeal melt and pour base with a clear base melt and pour. Added dandelion oil to one and cocunt oil to the floral ones. Mica powder for color and essential oils for scents. Lemongrass, frankincense, gardenia, and cleary sage.

Hey everyone, I wanted to share a game-changer I recently discovered because I know I’m not the only one dealing with this.

For the longest time, I struggled with that stubborn, sticky sweat smell—especially after an 8-hour shift working outdoors or a heavy gym session. You know the one: where you shower with regular body wash, but as soon as you step out, you still smell a faint "stale" scent underneath all the artificial fragrance. It’s even worse as we get older (apparently it’s a real thing called "nonenal" or aging odor that water and regular soap just can't wash off).

I got tired of smelling like a mix of cheap cologne and old sweat, so I went down a rabbit hole and discovered Persimmon Deodorant Soap.

Here’s why it actually worked for me and why the science makes sense:

• It Neutralizes, Doesn't Mask: Instead of just dumping heavy perfumes on top of body odor, the high concentration of persimmon tannins in this soap actually breaks down the odor molecules at the source. It literally neutralizes the nonenal and sweat odor. Gone forever, not just covered up.
• The 8-Hour Test: I tested it during my longest, most grueling days outside. Even after 8 hours of heavy sweating, my clothes and underarms didn't have that sour, stale smell at the end of the day.
• Zero Irritation (Sulfate-Free): I have pretty sensitive skin, so heavy chemical deodorizing soaps usually give me a rash. This one is sulfate-free and natural. It’s so gentle that it’s completely safe for kids, and I even use it to wash my face now.
• Streamlines the Routine: As someone who hates having a million bottles in the shower, the fact that I can use this one 120g bar for my face and body is a huge win. It saves time and honestly saves money for the whole family.

If you or anyone in your family is struggling with underarm odor, that lingering gym smell, or just wants to feel truly clean without harsh chemicals, I highly recommend looking into persimmon extract soaps. It completely changed my daily routine.

Hey!

I've not made any soap for quite a while now, and I figured I'd start making new ones again because I'm almost all out of the soaps I made like 2 years ago lol

Do you guys have any thoughts on this new recipe? It's the first of the four that I have planned.

If you have any advice or critique, I'm all ears.

Thanks! Happy soapmaking 😄

EDIT: I just noticed that I forgot to note the orange zest I'll be throwing in as well.

Sponge bob soap

i feel like you guys would know. what is the best bubble bath/soap for big bubbles! like in the movies! bigger than this picture even. every one i have tried has been very disappointing!

Donkey milk bars with my two favorite colors. So fun and easy, I also like adding dried flowers or herbs too. These have lavender and lemongrass and some dried lillies. All made with avocado oil and essential oils. So easy to do and fun to get creative with!
