What can i say? I fell in love with this soap! (even ignoring my kojic soaps for this one!) You will worship this soap from the very moment you step inside your bathroom because it overpowers any unpleasant smell and the oh-so! heavenly scent lasts long! More like of a bathroom air freshener and soap in one! Even besting that experience when you pass by a lush store! (that is an opinion of course!) The scent is like mixed fresh mints, sweet milk and…. colgate! hahaha I know, it doesn’t smell like some perfumes and tooty fruity colognes. But this is a real olfactory treat guys! Imagine, every bath is a step closer to nature! That’s it!! This soap smells and feels like nature! I am no good in advertising.. neither in choosing words that can persuade anyone .. (not that i lack communication skills) but man… you gotta try them.
The honey and milk combo is just right… you’ll get squeeky, clean, smooth, moisturized and happy skin after you take a bath! I think the propolis gives this soap the minty smell. Unlike conventional soaps, this one doesn’t form bubbles that much..It does, very minimal, but when you let it stay on your skin for a while, the bubbles just dissolve into a thin, creamy liquid.. resembling that of milk when you generously rub it on your skin! And it rinses very easily too!! Also you won’t get any sticky, heavy feeling (like when you just washed with a moisturizing body wash) after rinsing this off! Instead it leaves your skin ultra clean and bare but moisturized! This is has a low pH thus it’s doesn’t alter the normal skin acid level unlike some soaps out there which is alkalinic. If you have sensitive skin, this one’s for you!!!
I am so crazy about this soap that i bought 6 of them now! I am planning to build my own stash so that I’ll have enough supply for 1 year and then i can bring them to Norway with me! hahaha The plan is to buy 12 bars but i think before i leave the country, I’ d be having more than what i actually need!
So go and join me in my indulgence!

Milk and Honey sounds like it would make a nice soap. I use an organic rose and lavender soap. It smells really good. o:

polkadotrn: sure will do! Yeah i looks ancient but it really smells good! hahahaha
miss_nomer: You’re an “organic” product user too? rose and lavender also smells nice but the ilog maria only sells a lavander-honey variant. Almost all of their soaps have honey and propolis. They are handmade from a small bee-farm here in the philippines.

I’ve been wanting to go to Ilog Maria. I liked their soap but it melts too fast unlike other soaps we use….
Do you work in Norway?
