REVIEW: Nyassa Olive Oil Cardamom Soap

Brand: Nyassa
Soap : Pure & Natural Olive Oil Cardamom Soap
Type : Handmade olive oil soap
Price : INR 250
Weight: 100 gm

What the product says:

Contains: Cardamom Essential oil : Cardamom essential oil has good anti bacterial properties when applied in a carrier bse to cuts, scrapes and abrasions. 100% Vegetarian. For All skin types.

Look how neat the soap packaging is!

All decorations are mine!

Fragrance: It has to get an A+ when it comes to the aroma of cardamom. It doesnt smell like cardamom. It is cardamom! Can't describe it better!

Experience: It lathers light indicating yet again a minimal use of harmful chemicals. The feeling after each bath is so soothing because of the aroma and the body feels soft and moisturised. Its an aromatherapy wonder!

Form: The soap feels like a slab of smooth butter. Surprisingly it doesn't melt after bath ensuring no wastage. It doesn't slip while usage. I prefer to keep my soap in an open ceramic dish as seen here before.

Final Verdict: The soap lasted me a good 1 month 10 days with single person usage. Except the price everything is so good about this soap .I cant think of any other soap with a cardamom aroma along with the goodness of olive oil which you can feel on your skin. It can soothe your mind and take you to a zen haven! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Remember the soap I reviewed last time? In case you want to go back and read it, click here. These two are my favorite Nyassa handmade soap picks all year round!
Btw they have mango too ;)

Have you tried any of these? Would you like to try these soon? Let me know in the comments section.

Bath & Body Spotlight : NYASSA Cocoa Butter Soap

For the last 3-4 years I am no longer a soap person.I always tend to drop my soap ,besides I dont like if the soap melts & becomes sloppy.Using a body-wash felt quite effortless! It would take nothing short of luxury to tempt me to use a soap again. On my recent trip to Turkey, I got attracted to handmade olive oil soaps which are fabulous. Luckily Nyassa has olive oil soaps which I will review next. In the past I have used Nyassa's Vanilla Dry fruit bar. The current line-up from Nyassa is so tempting, I have made a list of To-be-tested and it seems never-ending!

Brand: Nyassa
Soap : Cocoa Butter
Type : Handmade butter soap
Price : INR 300
What the product says:

Vanilla Extract - Vanilla Extract impoves skin tone & rejuvenates tissue. This prevents cell damage and keeps your skin healthy and nourished.

Dry Fruit extract - Dry Fruits Extract - Dry fruit extract acts as an excellent moisturizing agent. It also helps in conditioning and is a natural defence against wrinkles

For best results, a rub or two will give excellent lather & the soap will last much longer. Please keep the soap dry between use.

For normal to very dry skin

I love dressing up everything. That pine fruit is from my recent trip to Vienna,AUSTRIA. Vanilla sticks from GOA.

Cocoa Butter,Vanilla, Almonds,Pistachio,Dry figs, Aloe vera, sweet almond oil....I am almost fainting with the goodness!

I love this Ceramic Soap dish I got from LIFESTYLE HOMECENTRE. It is ideal for handmade soaps. So earthy!

The Good:

The rich ingredient list will almost make you melt, thinking of all the goodness! ( See picture)
The soap feels like a dollop of hardened butter in your hands. Me LIKES!
The inclusion of dry-fruits on one side makes it feel like some royalty bath ritual !
The cocoa-Vanilla fragrance is so intensely natural, it uplifts the senses. Its like a mini Spa at home.
It doesn't melt & stays firm.
The lather is minimal indicating minimal use of harmful lather agents (SLS). Another thumbs up!
When you use the soap, it almost feels like you are rubbing a moisturizing lotion all over. It will not dry your skin after use. However, for harsh winters it is always wise to follow up with a body butter. ( OMG!...they have a body butter too!!!)
A perfect reason to not run away from baths during winter! (haha! Need better reasons?)

The Bad:

This soap is a treat to the senses & the quality is unmatched. The only lowdown is the price tag.
Also, I would prefer if the ingredient percentages were mentioned in the label.

Would I recommend this to you:

Yes. Very much, if you consider natural ingredients as a way of life.
Bathroom luxury is another level of pampering your worn out senses.
Feeling low? Rub on some soap,girl! The moment this soap graces your bathroom shelf, you know you are are in for a luxury ride! As for me, I wish,the price tag of INR 300 was almost half. Luckily for a single person usage, this soap lasts a good one month & more.Treasuring it as I go, using sparingly so that it lasts as long as it can! Hoping,one day, this will be my regular soap! Sigh!

HAVE YOU TRIED HANDMADE SOAPS? What is your experience? I want to know :)
Here's a sneak peek of the next yummy soap in town: Review coming soon.

Luxury find- Nyassa Vanilla Dry Fruit Luxury Bar

Hello Dear Readers,
You know my internet connection has gone for a toss & with my data card I can only do text-heavy posts.
I have been using the Nyassa Vanilla Dry fruit Luxury bar for the last 3 days and I am in awe!

Let me tell you why I could't wait to share this find with you:

1) It stays true to its name- There is vanilla, there are those bits of dry fruits(real figs, cashews, almonds and pistachaio) & one look at it, it fools you into believing its a chunk of malaidaar mithai :) A luxury bar indeed!

2) One bath & you will know -ingredients listed on it are for REAL - (Sweet almond oil, wheat germ oil, shea butter, vitamin E, Grape seed, Aloe vera extract, vanilla fragrance & dry fruit )

3) A creamy lather that doesn't feel artificial & a fragrance you would fall for .Its difficult to resist the urge to bite into it !

The one I tried was a sample in my VELLVETTE box. This soap is available on VELLVETTE website for purchase.I am a sucker for bath & body products and love to constantly fill my bathroom racks with new indulgence.This surely is a treat & at a price tag of Rs.400 for 150 gm , its an expensive one for sure!

In my recent trip to Istanbul ( posts coming up; just pray my internet connection is restored soon) ,I bought a lovely pomegranate handmade soap which smells as divine.But even that wasn't as expensive as Nyassa. So people at Nyassa, you must make a note!

Turkey is famous for its turkish baths ( Hammam) and hence the bath products are made with a lot of love too.More in my post on Turkish bath products later!

JUST ONE THING- I want the price to go down!!! It MUST!!!
A thing of beauty has to be enjoyed by the masses :) NO? So dear Nyassa team , kindly listen to this mass appeal :)

A few more reviews lined up, till my wireman does the repairs !
Till next time, see you !
