If you could do something for the society, wouldn’t you jump at that opportunity?
Not in a big way but a small yet satisfying way. Neev Herbal Handmade Soaps is one such organization where you could contribute a little to the under privileged and feel happy at the end of the day.
A little about what Neev Herbal Handmade soaps are all about-
Product Description: With TFM : 77.8% , keeps the skin dew fresh and young looking, delays the appearance of wrinkles, blackheads, dryness and even pimples.
Price & Quantity: 2 variants- Rs 80 for 75 gms and Rs 100 for 100 gms
Ingredients: Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Mahua Oil, Lye, Rose Oil, Geranium Oil, Palmarosa Oil, Rosemary Oil, Roasted and ground almonds
Shelf Life: 1 year
MY EXPERIENCE WITH NEEV ALMOND ROSE SOAP:Packaging: It comes wrapped in a paper cover with the soap inside covered in plastic. The packaging is simple but I would suggest them to change it. The saying ‘Never judge a book by its cover’ doesn’t hold true always. If the packaging is attractive, I would pick it up even if I have never used it before.
Colour, Consistency & Fragrance: The soap is cream in colour with small pieces of almonds in it. These pieces are evenly distributed. The most attractive thing about the soap is the fragrance of it. It doesn’t smell artificial.
How it works: The soap feels minty even though it doesn’t have any mint in it. But I have no complaints against that. The tiny almond pieces act as a scrub. I don’t find them abrasive but then I don’t use soaps for my face. It lathers too!The BEST PART of this soap is the smell. Trust me when I say this, you will love it. I generally take quick showers (2 minutes) and even then, after I finish my bath, my bathroom smells like a spa! It remains that way till I come back home in the evening. In summers when I used it, I didn’t need a moisturizer. But now, it’s better to follow it up with one.
Before I forget, you might feel this soap melts faster than your bank account. True!
Wet your palms, rub soap between them and then apply it to your body. But then, this way you cannot use it as a scrub. So alternate between these 2 methods.
PROS:
Rating: 4.5/5
Do I Recommend?: Yes. To each and everyone. Try it atleast once.
Would I Repurchase?: Can you believe that I have 6 bars left
