Product review and giveaway - Inner Earth Soaps

Life's too short to keep all the good stuff to yourself, so I have decided to have a product review and giveaway on my blog each weekend. So without further ado, here is the first product I'd like to share with you...

Inner Earth Soaps

Where to find them: on Etsy, an Australian store if you are also in Australia, and blogging here.


Inner Earth Soaps is owned and run by Erin. She is dedicated to producing high quality products and certainly succeeds at that! As she says on her etsy profile, "I make soaps using the cold-process method. It involves making the soap completely from scratch and that means I have total control over what goes into them - so no sodium lauryl suplhate and no propylene glycol, in fact none of those nasty ingredients that you will find in most industrial soaps. My soaps also retain their natural glycerin content, a by-product of the soapmaking process. "

My thoughts: I love the soaps I've purchased from Inner Earth Soaps. They have a great lather and leave your skin feeling and smelling fantastic. The bars are huge compared to the soaps you'd purchase at the supermarket. Much bigger than I had been expecting. The packaging is simple yet stylish, with no unnecessary layers of plastic wrap.
The soaps make fantastic inexpensive gifts for people of all ages and I will certainly be keeping a supply of them in my cupboard.
If you are like me and can never decide which scent to try first I would highly recommend the soap sampler. It's a pack of 6 soaps (you choose the scents) of 1/4 size bars so you get to try a wider variety of scents for a great price.

The giveaway: I will be giving away 2 prizes this week. Each winner will receive a sampler size bar of soap. I am happy to post to anywhere so international entrants are most welcome! The giveaway will close on Saturday 20 February and winners will be announced on Sunday 21 February.
How to enter: Simply visit one of the Inner Earth Soap stores (etsy or Australian) and come back here and leave a comment on this post about which product you liked best. Make sure you leave some way I can contact you (either an email address or via your blog if you have one).
For an additional entry blog about this giveaway and leave a comment on this post with a link to your blog post.

Special offer: As a special bonus to readers of this blog, Inner Earth Soaps is offering 15% off all products (excluding sale items and postage) until the end of February. Just mention that you saw the product review here and you will be given 15% of your product total. So now is the time to give it a try - you won't regret it!


Unless otherwise stated, all opinions expressed here are my own. I have not been paid to write any of this, nor given any free product or concessions other than what is offered above to all readers. I simply want to share my love of fine products with others. Enjoy!

Please don't include me in the draw 'cause I recently won a fantastic giveaway on Erin's blog and consider myself ineligible for future giveaways! Well, for a little while anyway. But I can't resist having a say...

Guess I'm a regular customer of Erin's - having ordered a number of times and frequented her markets - as recent as today! Always stocking up and giving away (yes! they're great to have on hand as presents)as many as I'd use.

Personal favourites : Charcoal Complexion, Gardenia, Honey Bee Mine, Pomegranate, Lavender Silk - Ok, hard to pick just one! Soap Sampler pack is a great idea.

Erin makes other products in addition to her Soap - new treats picked up today were Salt Glows, Rosehip Oil,Lemon Cheesecake Lip Butter as well as some new soaps to try - can't wait to use Jasmine Dreams and Creamy Coconut!

Would agree 100% with everything Cass has said on this Product Review!

Megan said...

Thanks Cass for highlighting this site. Those soaps looks gorgoeus. Definitely want to look at getting some of them
I love the look of the pomegranate soap and the lavendar sill. And the lip balms look good too. Who am I kidding - they all look awesome!

Ria said...

Dear Cas.....
Oh, I looove handmade soaps like these. Very hard to get ones here.
The vanilla buttercream will certainly tempting...but I think I will smell just like a cake after I done shower, so, I pass that.:)
I go with my forever favorite smell....lemongrass ginger! (have you smell the lemongrass candle and try lemongrass drink? Oh,my.)

Btw, Cass, have you received my email with my address and I asked you about your address too. I keep wonder after a week go by without your reply, and I am afraid my email/my server did some error again like my email to Lisa. Gosh. Please let me know.
Hugs.

Hmmm, the stress of the past 15 months has come out in my skin, so the Charcoal Complexion is sure to please, combined with Unwind, may help to keep a happy Mummy!

The poegranate salt glow almost looks like frozen yoghurt - yummo but I think the unscented goats milk would be best to help Jays eczema :( might have to invest
