L'OccitaneShea Butter Extra-Gentle Hand & Body Soap Bar, Cleanses & Softens Skin, Moisturizing, Soothing Scents, Non-Drying, Vegan

This is a premium product at a premium price. The quality of the lather and the feel of the soap is very refined and the scent is balanced and smoother / more subtle than similar soaps. There are other options which have similar quality at about 1/3 lower cost (e.g., La Chatelaine Luxury Bar Soap and Pre de Provence Artisanal Soap Bar). Overall this is recommended as the top choice if cost is not a concern.

The media could not be loaded. Yes, the price, at the time of this writing, is now $14 a bar. That feels stupid high (but in reality isn't, as I'll explain below). However, after years of using this particular soap, I wouldn't change, and every time we stay somewhere else and have to use a different soap I wish I had this.The scent and lather are nice, and it rinses well without drying, so you don't have that greasy feel after using a body wash, for example. However, the two things that make this a good value relative to the obviously high price, in my opinion, are:1. The bar is oversized. It is nearly twice the weight of other bars. There is just a lot more soap here.2. It has the same characteristics all the way to the end. By that I mean, I've tried other bars, and it often seems like what is useful leaches out, and toward the end you have something that doesn't lather or clean well. These soaps, for me, work right until the end.Net, this will last a lot longer than other, cheaper bars.Overall, a good value and a great experience despite the up-front price, but the price is getting close to the inflection point, even for a loyal user like me...

Very creamy, lovely scent to this L'Occitane Shea Butter Extra-Gentle Solid Hand & Body Soap: Relaxing Shea Lavender, Shea Milk, Vegetable Based, Artisanal, Vegan

You go to the store and buy "soap." But the thing is, most of what you buy is actually not soap. L'Occitane literally makes you squeaky clean. You just feel amazing! The bars are quite large and the suds are rich and luxurious. I lather up with a nice wash clothe which prolongs the life of the soap...like everything else with this manufacture, a little goes a long way. The bars outlast anything else on the market, so even though the price is high, it is a great way to indulge and the last a long time. The scent is so subtle that you can barely smell it but it does smell nice when you are using if for a bath or shower. Spend the money. You are worth it.

Love the smell, feels great in skin

I want to like the verbena scent, but I just can’t convince myself that I do. If you like the spa smell and more like strong essential oil, this might be for you. It does clean well, does not dry my skin out and holds the same quality I would expect from this brand.

gentle on my sensitive skin

Love this soap wish I could buy them more often! ❤️
