What is Seaweed Soap? Why would you want to use it?

This is the first time I’ve ever tried seaweed soap. Reviva Labs kindly sent some for review, and I’m really glad that they did!

Seaweed Soap is not only great to clean your body, but also will serve as an excellent natural exfoliator! The key is the Seaweed grains in it!

Use the soap when you’re taking a bath or a shower. Lather and then thoroughly rinse off the soap. While this can be used on the face, I did not test it in that capacity; I instead like to use the Reviva Labs Light Skin Peel for exfoliating my face.

How is the Seaweed Soap Different?

It is Animal Friendly! Yes, Reviva Labs is cruelty free. What I mean by animal friendly is that unlike soaps made with animal tallow (which is termed, sodium tallowate), this is a pure vegetable base consisting of palm and coconut oils! Vegan product!

Ingredients: Soap (sodium palmate and cocoate types), water, sorbitan oleate, Atlantic and/or Pacific seaweed grains, glycerin, walnut shell powder, Atlantic and/or Pacific seaweeds, microscopic blue-green algae, sodium chloride, trisodium hedta, fragrance, iron oxides

The Seaweed soap really lathered up well, and I loved the exfoliating factor. It never irritated my skin. You’ll have to determine for yourself, based on your own skin type, how hard to scrub, but I had no problems.

I definitely recommend Reviva Labs Seaweed Soap!

When most people think of facial soap, it conjures up thoughts of being harsh, and drying up delicate skin. That is not true of the Rice Bran Soap! I really liked the smooth and creamy foam lather; the fragrance was nice, too, it’s floral aroma from pure essential oil.

What’s unique about this soap is the rice bran and rice bran oil. That’s to moisturize and keep your skin smooth, which, in my case, it certainly did. The only downside that anyone could possibly find is that before using the soap, eyeshadow and eyeliner should be removed. If you don’t mind that extra step, it’s no big deal.

I highly recommend okoii’s Rice Bran Soap!
