I love handmade soap and it's good thing because I make it!
My favorites vary from season to season...
Spring~ florals, clean and green
Summer~ citrusy
Fall~ heavier types of soap with butters {shea, mango, olive and avocado}
because I have such dry skin...love spicy scents
Winter~ same as above
It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.

I do not enjoy shopping at all, so I like to stick with the old reliable - Dr. Bronners. I like the fact that it comes in big bottles (so I don't have to shop often), plus of course the biodegradable, organic, small company stuff. The lavender is nice, but my favorite is the standard peppermint. Wakes me up in the morning! |

I don't know what it is about this stuff, but I ADORE the smell of Alba's Sea Lettuce Cleansing Milk.

Doesn't really make my skin feel like it's squeaky clean, but then it's meant for a dry face anyway. Yummy, that. |

I like goat milk soap the best. I use olive oil and shea butter in addtion to cocnut and palm oils.
I use all types of scents. Anything in the mint family is refreshing, or lemon or lavender. My adult kids like the cumber-melon type which is a soap fragrance not EO oil. Baby scent was another favorite.
I like to add one of the following, oatmeal, almonds, coffee grounds as scrubbers.
This is great for those with sensitive skin too.

Haven't delved into handmade soaps much, though I'm sure they're fantastic. So, we buy Dr. Bronner's: www.drbronner.com

I love shea butter, sheep and goats milk, and the olive oil soap: there is a company in the city called L'Occitane that makes a great lemon verbena olive oil/castile soap. I love the farmgirl soap too!

Shea butter soaps! Love, love love them. Also soaps that contain goat's milk, silk, and/or clays. or all of the above if I'm lucky! I'm not a fan of fragrances, but love pretty much all essential-oil scented soaps.
shampoo bars are my staple for haircare. so easy to use, great for traveling and they work REALLy well.

I love olive oil soaps and goat's milk soaps -- anything handmade. My favorite scents are definitely floral.

Elizabeth (BotanicalBath) set up a barter last year for soap ends from the whole bars she makes; they are awesome. I am going to be ordering from her soon since I have used up almost of the the pieces she gave us last year. She uses olive oil in her recipe, and the results are fantastic; no allergic reaction, skin feels soft, tub doesn't get sticky, and the fragrances are wonderful.
Haven't seen her posting in a while, though...but I think her site is botanicalbatch.com or something like that. The soap is just wonderful. Even DH likes using it!

I love all of the goats milk soaps I've tried and I have a good time making my own laundry soap.

I've been using Back Country Soaps for a while now. Right now I'm using the Lemon Verbena scented one but I think my favorite of their's is the Oatmeal, Milk & Honey. As far as store brands I like the scent and feel of Cashmere Bouquet.
