Notice Board: Suma Soaps Review & Giveaway

Sometime ago I got the chance to try two of the new, gorgeous smelling soaps from the Suma Soap range. There are twelve fragrances in total and I got to try the Patchouli & Hemp Soap and the Peppermint and Pine Soap. 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPETITION NOW CLOSED

And the winner is...................................................Kasim Niaz! Congratulations!
I hope you enjoy your prize.

 Thank you to all of you who entered; if you want to try the soaps for yourself you can buy them from Goodness Direct, if you haven't got a Suma account. They really are fabulous!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 The soaps are all hand crafted using the finest natural ingredients and pure essential oils. As you already now I'm a massive fan of aromatherapy and I am always using my essential oils at home and work so I couldn't wait to try the soaps. The soaps are even coloured by using herbs, spices, flowers and clays and some include that little bit extra - some strange but true exfoliates. Have you ever used a soap with poppy seeds in - I have, now! 

 All soaps are free from parabens, SLS and palm oil and are kinder on the environment. All of the twelve soaps are registered with the vegan society and show the leaping bunny logo which means they are cruelty free products. They are also made in the UK, bonus!
The smell of the Patchouli & Hemp Soap really transported me back to 'festival' days. The smell of patchouli takes me back to the quirky shops of Glastonbury and brings back fond memories of walking around the magic and mystic surrounding the town. 

 Its fragrance is musky, almost earthy but inviting and sensual. Patchouli essential oil is great for dry skin and is reported to help with skin blemishes or old scars as it promotes the growth of new skin. It is also said to help release tension and uplift ones mood.
The smell of the Peppermint & Pine Soap is fresh and awakening, if your tired after a long day at work and have night out with the girls planned, but are feeling sluggish then this is the soap for you! It will refresh and boost your mood. Its also great to use first thing in the morning preparing you for the day at work ahead. The added poppy seeds are great for exfoliating your skin and give your skin that soft tingle after use.

 Peppermint essential oil is a great skin tonic and has cooling properties which can help with sore and itchy skin due to sunburn or a breakout of spots. Used sparingly it will relieve the itchiness and inflammation.

Both soaps provide a rich and creamy lather that is soooo soft and their perfume permeates the air which is an added bonus. You can smell their fragrance for sometime after using and your skin feels soft to the touch. 

 The whole range consists of the following fragrances:

  • patchouli and hemp with sandalwood
  • peppermint and pine oil with poppy seeds
  • aloe vera and wheatgerm oil
  • lavender and lime – with lavender flowers
  • lemongrass with chamomile flowers
  • tea tree and eucalyptus with nettle leaf
  • rosemary and lavender with rosemary leaf
  • grapefruit and mandarin with calendula flowers
  • cinnamon, orange and aduki bean
  • coconut milk and ylang ylang with oatmeal
  • bergamot and green tea with green tea leaves
  • rose geranium with rose petals

    It's really hard to choose but I think I would like the woody scent of patchouli and hemp with sandalwood

    LOVE the hemp and patchouli one more than anything! So many flavours, so impossible to choose.... I think I'd love to try the refreshing peppermint and pine oil one, and the bergamot one because I live for Earl Grey tea. And also the coconut and oat for whenever I have rashes. And the rose for whenever I want to smell like a queen. I really can't decide. Probably bergamot to feed my tea addiction. Also how much do you love using bars of soap over shower gel! So much less waste, recyclable packing, no plastic, no synthetic fragrances and they last WAY longer so its way cheaper as well! Never using shower gel again!

    Hi Jasmine,

    Great review and giveaway! I would love to try the aloe soap, as that's what I currently use (different brand) but it does wonders for my skin. I also love the sound of coconut milk and ylang ylang!
