Growing up, my family members and I took turns checking the mail. One hot summer day, I somehow managed to tear myself away from the brand new Whitney Houston tape I was
That all changed the moment I received my first order from Scentsational Soaps Skincare. Sarah Torrance and her son, Chad, create top of the line skincare products using local Florida honey. When Chad developed eczema, Sarah set out to make products free of the irritants often found in traditional soap. She eventually moved on to develop her own line of "buzz" worthy products (har har har), of which I am extremely excited to share with you today.
Honey doesn't just taste delicious. It contains incredible antimicrobial and wound healing properties, and has been utilized for its skin care benefits for centuries. Keep reading to learn more!
PROPOLIS SOAP: COOL MINT
PROS: Propolis is extremely powerful, promotes quick healing, and assists in the prevention of infection. I am a huge proponent of the stuff. After an allergic reaction to perfume, I developed small bumps on the underside of my forearm that are impossible to get rid of. This soap does an almost unbelievable job of smoothing those blemishes, giving me the confidence to wear short sleeves. It has a cool, minty, herbal scent that does not linger on the skin. It's very unisex!
[26 Days]
** Side Note: After writing my initial review, I was admitted into the ER. Despite being warned, I failed to remove a bandage from my arm in a timely fashion. The adhesive was so sticky, it ripped off the top layer of skin and bled. (Shame on me! I am a health care professional!) Thanks to this soap, I completely healed in a matter of days. I kid you not! **
CONS: None. This soap is golden!
[Retails for: $7.80]
BELIEVE SOAP BAR
PROS: This goat milk soap, like the propolis soap, is also a dream for the skin. However, it does more than just moisturize and cleanse. One dollar of each bar ordered goes to Dup15q Alliance Research. Please support this wonderful cause!
CONS: None.
[Retails for: $6.00]
BEE POLLEN SOAP

PROS: This soap smells of delicious, sweet spearmint tea or gum. According to the Scentsational Soaps Skincare website, bee pollen is good for wrinkles, acne, eczema, and other skin conditions. It truly is an all-encompassing product!
CONS: None.
[Retails for: $7.80]
CHOCOLATE HONEY DECADENCE
SUGAR SCRUB
Pros: This incredibly gritty scrub smells delectably of sweet, delicate chocolate and honey. It does a wonderful job of smoothing the skin. My body felt like silk after I rinsed away the sugar remnants. (If you find it too coarse, apply it to wet skin for a more gentle consistency.) It's chock full of skin-loving oils, but isn't so greasy that it's difficult to remove. It is the best scrub I have used to date!
Cons: None.
[Retails for: $20.80]
HONEY ORANGE BLOSSOM SPICE
FACE/BODY BUTTER
PROS: This luxurious face and body butter smells heavenly. It has a lovely rich, spicy citrus fragrance. The thick, creamy consistency allows the product to glide across the skin, leaving it moisturized and soft.
CONS: None.
[Retails for: $13.00 - $36.00]
HONEY ORANGE BLOSSOM SPICE
BOTANICAL SHAMPOO
&
CONDITIONER
PROS: Scentsational Soaps Skincare's shampoo and conditioner are fantastic! The shampoo is wonderful for deep cleansing. It left my hair (literally) squeaky clean. The conditioner de-tangled my mess of a mane, allowing my brush to glide through my hair with ease. Bonus: It has the same intoxicating fragrance the face and body butter contains. The scent lingered ever-so-lightly in my hair.
CONS: None.
