Anima Organic Soap - A Review and Giveaway!

***Giveaway Closed 6/4***

I don't know about you, but I love me some bath products! Even better are some good for you bath products!

Have you ever checked out the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep Cosmetic Safety Database?  Do you know that many of the personal care products on the shelves contain harmful chemicals?

Well, they do. Brands like Body Shop, Lever 2000, Olay, Dove, Safeguard, Palmer's, Basis, Dial, and many more, rank from highly to moderately hazardous. You will be shocked to see what is on the list. Check it out, but I'm warning you, you might feel the need to throw out a lot of stuff in your bathroom.

I'm trying to do a better job buying products that are better for our health. There are just so many toxic ingredients (chemicals and synthetics) out there that we put on our bodies everyday. It's actually pretty scary when you do some research.

That's why I'm feeling good about using Anima Soap.

Anima Soap is a company that is committed to making a product that is good for people and the environment. Anima is the Latin work for soul which makes it is a very fitting name for this company. They sacrifice profit margin in the interest of doing what is good and right. They produce products that put human and ecological values first. Now that's a company with a conscience and soul!

They offer 2 kinds of high quality organic soaps.

The Anima Grapefruit Bar is a great face and body soap. It is made with water, certified organic palm oil, certified organic coconut oil, grapefruit essential oil, rosemary extract, and lye. I love the scent! It is very light and refreshing. It lathers very well and leaves my skin feeling clean, yet slightly moisturized. I really like that it doesn't leave my skin feeling stripped and tight.

The Anima Unscented Baby Bar is made with water, certified organic palm oil, certified organic coconut oil, certified organic jojoba oil, rosemary extract, and lye. It does not contain the grapefruit essential oil, hence it is "unscented". I does have a very slight scent (like you have to put the bar up to your nose and smell very hard), but nothing that leaves a scent on the baby. It is not a "no tear" formula, but I didn't find it to bother the kids' eyes. By the way, "no tear" formulas contain synthetics and chemicals.

These soaps are so reasonable priced! High quality organic soap bars for $1.89 per bar is a great deal! You can buy them in packs of 5, 10, 15 or 40. Give them a try!
