- Amount Of Product Used For It To Be Effective: As normally would be expected.
- First Impression: Very affordable! And, oooohhh... the fresh scent is unbelievable!

- Texture: Creamy, sudsy and bubbly. YAY! Smooth texture.
- Scent: So fresh and so clean and sooo girly! OMG I heart it sooooooo much! I have been walking in and out of my bathroom periodically since I got it just to smell it! Shhhh! They need to make a matching candle or something! I'm in LOVE!
- How Long I've Used It: For a few days now.
- Easy To Find And Where? Yes, At your local Whole Foods Market. Finally! Something major that I can walk into the store and grab off the shelf! Woo-hoo!
- Acquired: I purchased.
- Sample, Trial, Travel Sizes?: No, but I did try to cut this... and it broke into a million pieces(please refer to my "Ghetto-Fabulous Tip # 4" Post... ugh!). If anyone has any better ideas- help a sister out!
- EWG's Skin Deep - Cosmetic Safety Database Rating for Whole Foods Market Organic Lemon Verbena Triple Milled Soap: 1. I had to enter it in to the database. It probably should be a zero though.
- Verdict: Girl, I AM HOOKED! I am IN LOVE with the smell of this soap! The aromatic scent fills the bathroom for long after you shower. It's smooth, sudsy, creamy, economical AND not going to kill me (chemical-free /safe)! What more could a girl ask for in her soap? Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil instead of the Palm Oil perhaps??? Ok, maybe. And if it could shave my legs for me- that would be spectacular! I know, I know- I'll take this for now. Makes my skin feel silky, non-irritating so far. However, I did try to shave my legs with it- and although it made a really wonderful, thick lather... it made the razor skip a little. Ouchies! Yeah, so not such a hot idea to shave with it. Figured it was worth a shot though. I still miss body wash :( but not as much as I thought I would. Finally somebody understands that we want a great natural body care product that smells clean, fruity and girly! Not woodsy, like I just rolled around in dirt... in the woods, and hugged a tree- clean. LOL. I would definitely buy this again... and I've NEVER bought store-brand soap. The only problem is... Hmmm... what scent will I try next???
