JUNIPER RIDGE Desert Cedar Bar Soap - Cold Processed Mild Castile Soap - Plant Based Ingredients & Steam Distilled Essential Oils - Paraben, Phthalate, Dye, Cruelty, & Preservative Free - 4oz Bar

What is there not to love about this soap? Juniper Ridge's Big Sur soap has a strong earthy scent and the ginger in it is very noticeable. If you use this soap in the shower, it also feels like you're getting some aromatherapy while using it! I love supporting small businesses that make vegan products that are safe to use on the skin! I'm a huge fan of the Central Coast of California and can't wait to try all their different scents. It comes in a Big Sur themed box and would make a nice addition to a gift bag, as well. I can't say enough nice things about this brand and product. If you like natural and earthy scents, give this soap a try!

The scent is incredible! Genuinely like fresh evergreen needles and crisp mountain air. It's not overpowering, just really refreshing and clean. The soap itself lathers up nicely and feels great on the skin. It’s also versatile. I've used it on both my hands and body, and it works wonderfully. Just a quick lather with a washcloth, and you’re transported to the outdoors with every shower. Remember to keep it dry between uses to really make it last. For anyone looking to bring a bit of nature into their daily routine, this soap is a winner. It's like a little daily escape to the forest!

The scent I chose is White Sage. As you can see from my photo, the soap has a brownish color and the size of the soap is standard to me. I have used this soap for a couple of days now in our restroom, mainly to wash clean my hands. The White Sage scent smells clean to me, there is also a subtle mint type of smell in the scent as far as I can describe. The scent strength is around medium to me. Performance wise, the soap itself works fine for my purpose, it lathers well and pretty easy to rinse off. After washing, my hands don't feel over-dry neither.Overall, I think this is a good quality soap.

The soap smells so good, the texture is good and works well. It builds a good lather and I really just cannot say enough about how great it smells!

Sierra forest smells like the woods, pine-y and earthy. Not that nasty Christmas tree smell thankfully. It's not too strong or lasting either.We don't have hard water, but I still have a hard time rinsing it off my hands. And if you don't use a soap dish, good luck getting the bar off the sink, because it dries like cement!

The media could not be loaded.  The ingredients in this bar of soap look very intentional and are perfect for anyone looking for something clean and natural. The bar does lather nicely and washes off with ease in the shower. I currently have a cold so I can't smell anything, but my memory is that it has more of the woodsy/forest scent than coastal air. Not a bad thing, though my preference leans more towards crisp, fresh scents. The packaging is a nice touch for overall aesthetic; I've received bars of soap that are made of natural ingredients but wrapped in plastic so this recyclable packaging is a plus. I think for a "brand" that people haven't heard of, price might seem steep, but when you consider the quality of the ingredients and that it's from a small US-based biz, the price makes complete sense. Also, big stores like Anthro, who have a whole collection of soaps, market at around the same price so it really just depends who you want to support. If I didn't already have a whole stash of soaps to go through, I'd definitely buy more of these.

Juniper Ridge Big Sur Bar Soap is a soap made with natural ingredients that has a pleasant, relaxing fragrance. The 4oz bar of soap is placed in a decorative manufacturer box that will be a wonderful addition to a homemade gift basket When met with water, the soap creates a full and frothy lather. The fragrance notes that I noticed most distinctly were sage and pine. It reminded me of the scents that you notice when walking along the short patches of trees that line parts of the coast in the early morning fog. The fragrance of the mini forests are soft yet present. When using the soap it was like having a mini aromatherapy session during my shower. It was very calming and helped me relax at the end of the night. The bubbles washed off easily leaving no trace of residue behind on my skin while the fragrance that I enjoyed so much remained softly on my skin. The soap cleansed my skin without drying it out and after several showers, I have noticed that my skin feels moisturized. It is a vegan, gluten & cruelty free product. It is a cold processed, 100% plant based product that is formulated without sulfates, dyes, parabens, preservatives, and phthalates. The soap includes clean, pronounceable, and recognizable ingredients including organic sunflower seed oil, organic coconut oil, water, organic palm oil, organic safflower seed oil, black sage essential oil, white sage essential oil, Monterey pine essential oil, sagebrush essential oil, and rosemary extract. It is Handcrafted in the USA. This is a soap with a fragrance that can be enjoyed by both men and women. I am a fan of this soap and will definitely add another order to my Amazon cart.

This smells sooooooooo good. The soap itself is gentle and cleans well without stripping moisture from the skin. But honestly we are all about the woodsy, outdoorsy smells in this house and oh my goodness this is the best. Love the natural ingredients, too.
