The Beauty Bask PARADISO Beauty Soap Review

Hi, I'm back with another post! This time, I'm gonna review Paradiso, a soap from The Beauty Bask. 

For those who are new to this brand, The Beauty Bask Urban Organics is a multi-benefit skincare line made with ECOCERT-certified organic ingredients. Their formulations are curated to reboot your skin from chemically-laden products and provide protection plus rejuvenation from city pollution, sun and stress of the urban lifestyle.

The brand is still growing. As of now, they only have four soap blocks: Himalayan Renegade, Mr. & Mrs. Androgynous, Paradiso and lastly, Amongst The Stars. The also have two beauty oils (available in 17ml or 30ml): Purveyor of the Lush and Chasing Daydreams.

My Beauty Bask Haul

I had the chance to try a sample of Himalayan Renegade (one of their soap bars) through Saladbox late last year. I loved it, so of course, I bought the full-size bar. 😍 From the remaining soap selection, Mr & Mrs Androgynous and Paradiso also caught my eyes. I'll make separate reviews as soon as I have used up each item so watch out for it! Ms. Kristen (the owner) kindly gave me Purveyor of the Lush as a gift because of a shipping mishap. So generous! Will also review the beauty oil but for now, let's proceed to Paradiso!

Product Description:

Ingredients: 

Pure vegetable glycerin base, Birds of Paradise Flowers, Grapefruit, Tomato Seeds, Cranberry, Licorice Roots

Instructions:

Lather with water between hands and apply generously to face and /or body. Lather directly on skin for mild exfoliation. Leave in a little longer if your skin is not sensitive. Rinse off. Smells good enough to be sniffed on all day and gentle enough to be used as needed daily.

First Impressions

The soaps were neatly wrapped with bubble and came inside a black drawstring bag. The packaging is simple and uncomplicated. It's wrapped with plastic with a label providing the name and ingredients.

the soap has a 2-year shelf life starting from the manufacturing date

The soap has manufacturing and expiry dates printed on one of the sides. I think that's cool since other soaps don't even provide those.

Regarding scent, I really can't pinpoint what it smells like. Something fruity and floral, but not really? I don't know have a lot of fragrance vocab but just know this soap smells sooo good.

The Beauty Bask logo is engraved on one side.

The soap itself is a semi-transparent orange bar with tomato seeds pressed on it. The narrow sides are seedless. 

Experience

This soap bubbles really easily. You can work the lather even more to create finer, creamier foam. I used on my face and body every day and I applied very generously. Despite that, this 100g soap lasted for a whole month. 

these are regular looking suds but you can definitely work the lather more

This is a very moisturizing soap. I like the rich, creamy lather. It did a good job of making me feel clean without feeling like I've stripped everything away. My skin feels soft and hydrated after.

Just a slight warning: the tomato seeds can be too rough for the face. It's great to use as a scrub for the whole body, but for the face, I just use a towel or my hands. Take note that the seeds are just pressed on top. It is not mixed with the soap itself. After about two weeks, all the seeds have fallen off from daily use.

Performance

This soap block has three main claims: Brighten + Renew + Clarify

During the time I used this, I didn't use any whitening/brightening products for my face and body. After a month, there is no significant change in my skin tone. I also haven't seen any of my pimple scars fading, even if just a little. :(

I can't vouch for the soap's renewing and clarifying properties since I didn't have any active pimples during the time I used this. One thing is for sure, I didn't break out using this soap.

Will I repurchase? 

I wanted to love Paradiso since I loved Himalayan Renegade, but I have to say no. Sure, it is a very moisturizing soap, but at Php 208 per bar, I expected more results. This product just didn't work for me. Hopefully, the next soap will!


Til next time~
