Hi, Katie,
 
I am the friend for whom Diane got your wonderful soap. I wanted to use it for a while before I wrote, so I could give you a report.
 
I have a history of really bad reactions to skin care products so I'm very leery of trying new things. I was told to avoid oils and use medicated shampoo I tried Ivory soap in college and it made my face burn. I tried Arbonne anti-aging products once and broke out in welts all over my face. I even tried Clinique products, but they didn't work, either. So I settled on Dove soap and Curel lotion decades ago and haven't changed since. the ony thing is that I get oily after a couple of hours.
 
To answer your questions, yes, I've been seeing a dermatologist for years, once a year or so. He diagnosed me years ago with excema, atopic dermatitis and seborrhea (originally on my face and scalp, but now only on my scalp). The excema is pretty mild but with me all the time. The dermatitis has eased up in recent months since I started taking biotin and they raised my vitamin D to 2000 iu a day about a year ago. But if I spend too much time in water or use cleaning chemicals, I can have a nasty eruption on my hands in an hour. My dandruff is under control, but I have to use a strong medicated shampoo. Yes I have allergies to drugs, cats and trees, and am sensitive to rubber, wool, lanolin, scallops and some perfumes (those with animal musk).
 
Since I trust Diane, I tried your TeaTree/lemon/mint soap. I loved the smell right away, and have been washing my face twice a day with it. I have occasionally used it with my Clarisonic brush. After a week of use, my face is doing very well. It feels clean, and my pores seem a little tighter. I also notice that my face still feels soft after it dries and before I put on lotion. And surprisingly, my nose and forehead don't seem as oily after several hours. In short, I really like the soap and would like to get more.
 
I hope we can arrange something. By the way, I'm also using the "black" soap in the shower. I've only used it for a couple of days, though, so I can't say how I'm doing yet.
 
Thanks so much for making such great soap!
 
Sincerely,
 
Robin

Hi Diane,
 
It was great seeing you on Saturday. I unwrapped the soap right after you left. What a wonderful aroma.  The soap was lovely.. and it  made my skin feel so soft. I can't believe I have been using harsh cleaners on my face ...for years!!!
 
All the best,
Beth

What a way to start the morning.  The smell is uplifting but the biggest surprise of all is all of those seeds that are like a mini loofah built into the soap.  I did not want to get out of the shower.  As I rubbed the soap over my skin I found it to scratch or give comfort to itches i didn't even know I had.  The same feeling when someone scratches your back and your like oh to the left...oh yeah right there.  Amazing.  i think this one now has inched its way to the top of my favorites!!!!

FROM CHERIE

 

 OMG, it is DIVINE!!!!  My skin just feels completely different than it does after any other soap or body wash I've tried.  Like I told Katie, it feels nourished rather than stripped.  I opened two to start with, Jasmine Milk and Apricot Freesia.  Exquisite!!  Katie is really on to something here and I hope her company goes to the stratosphere - it will if enough people get their hands on the product.  What it feels like to me is the soap is doing for my body what L'Bri is doing for my face.  It feels healthy, hydrated, and natural.  Just wonderful, I am so glad you found Katie.  :)

OMG, Katie, it's WONDERFUL!!!!!  And thank you so much for the extra and all the fun little samplers!!  I had the hardest time deciding what to try first....(hubby already complains about all my lotions and potions all over the shower so I have to keep the soap collection at a minimum, hehe).  So I started with Jasmine Milk and Apricot Freesia.  The jasmine scent is exquisite, you really nailed getting scent to stay in the soap, however you are doing it.  And the Apricol - my skin has never felt this rejuvenated after a shower.....it's like my skin was nourished instead of stripped.  Actually, both soaps left my skin feeling divine.  So amazing, LOVE IT!!!

 

A couple things I wanted to mention, things I noticed right off.  First of all, LOVE the wrapper - I much prefer the cellophane over the Saran Wrap that alot of the soap makers are using.  I find the Saran to be difficult to remove and to me, it's just unpleasant as I've then got this kind of sticky mess on my hands after moving the wrapper (which also tells me their soap was maybe not so good, if it made my hands feel greasy and sticky.....)

 

I'm sure you are in for many more glowing testimonials as I work my way through all these different yummy soap treats!  You'll be hearing from me again soon....

 

Thanks so much, Katie, have a wonderful weekend!!

Hugs ~

C.

Hi Diane,

 

Just a quick EM to let you know I love the soap (lavender scented) that you gave me on Friday.  Thank you!

 

It does leave my skin soft, not tight. 

 

I am so glad you are working on brand and labeling -- the current one is hard to read.  This product needs to sing!

 

Thanks again,

 

Holly
