Hello guys! Today, I'm gonna review another soap from the local Philippine brand called The Beauty Bask! I have tried their soap Paradiso before and this time, I'm gonna tell you my thoughts about their Mr. & Mrs. Androgynous Soap.A little bit of info about the brand - The Beauty Bask Urban Organics is a multi-benefit skincare line made with ECOCERT-certified organic ingredients. They currently have four soap blocks: Himalayan Renegade, Mr. & Mrs. Androgynous, Paradiso and lastly, Amongst The Stars. They also have two beauty oils (available in 17ml or 30ml): Purveyor of the Lush and Chasing Daydreams.
Now, on to this review!

Here's a Cosdna analysis of the ingredients. According to the analysis, the ingredients are all safe to use. Of course, don't use it if you are allergic to any of the ingredients regardless of the safety rating.
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
Like Paradiso, the packaging is very simple. The soap was neatly packed in plastic with a sticker label. Manufacturing and expiry dates are stamped on the plastic.
Batch number (?), and Manufacturing and Expiry dates. |
the Beauty Block |
The soap itself is a square block with chia seeds and tea tree leaves pressed on its surface.
My Experience
This is a good soap. It performed well against dirt and grime. I felt clean and refreshed afterwards. It smells really minty too. I like the scent of Mr. & Mrs. Androgynous better than Paradiso since it somehow uplifts my mood. Using this in the morning quickly perks me up.
The chia seeds on the surface acts as an exfoliant. However, since it is only pressed on the surface, the seeds naturally fell off after about two weeks.
If you are wondering about the size |
The soap looks small (it is smaller than a MAC bullet!) but the whole bar lasted for more than a month. It lathers well so you don't have to use a lot. From the Beauty Bask's description, this is recommended for normal skin / combination skin. I agree since this did not make my skin feel dry or squeaky.
Will I Repurchase / Recommend?
This is supposed to Energize + Balance + Rejuvenate. I think they did well on those fronts. I honestly like this better than Paradiso! However, I probably won't repurchase since it's quite pricey for me. I will use it again if I can get my hands on it but for now, I wanna explore the other soaps our local market has to offer.
That's it for my review! Let me know if you have questions. :D
