Lush Bohemian Soap Review


Lush_Bohemian_Soap

As some of you may know I like to avoid certain ingredients in skincare/body products - mainly Sulphates/Sulfates (a cheap ingredient that makes a lot of products foam up). Basically think of me as a Pescetarian of the beauty world. 

So when it comes to shower gel, shampoo, facial scrubs/washes etc I do avoid sulfates or SLS's as they are often known (you can read about why I avoid this ingredient here). But one thing I have become more relaxed with is soap that contains it for washing my hands with. Meaning now I can indulge in lots of lovely soaps from the likes of Lush and The Body Shop. 

Quite a lot of soaps from Lush do contains sulfates though fortunately this specific soap (mainly because it is a glycerine soap) is free from it, meaning I can use it as a hand soap and also in the shower on my skin, which is pretty good as this is such a zingy summery scented soap. 

I have been a fan of soaps from Lush for quite a long time now because I find them great value for money and they smell and look so good! I personally like to just buy 100g of a Lush soap and then I cut it up in to four and use one slice/cube next to the bathroom sink, one in the shower and one next to the kitchen sink and then also have a piece to spare or pass on to someone else! So for this specific soap it cost only £2.95! Though you can literally buy as much as you wish as long as it's over 100g. 

Bohemian Soap (£2.95 per 100g) is one of Lush's more basic soaps containing mainly Lemon Oil, Soap and Glycerine... but sometimes the most simple of products are the best, which I have definitely found with this soap. As a hand soap it works well as the lemon-y scent wafts up as you wash your hands and they a left smelling fresh and clean. But this is definitely a soap to be used in either the bath or shower as it is zingy and uplifting. So more often than not I opt for this instead of my many shower gels when I'm having a morning shower or I've just worked out (yes, I am trying to get fit for summer!). 

Another soap from Lush that is quite similar in that is packs some punch, but is extra yummy smelling, is Rock Star (£3.40 per 100g) which is a more creamy soap but oh, seriously this is one to have a sniff of when you are next passing or shopping in Lush - just amazing!

Bohemian Soap is without a doubt my summer soap now along with Rock Star which I really do need to re-purchase as I'm currently using the smallest piece that I have left. 

What hand soap do you normally use? 

Fee xo.

This looks like a lovely soap, I've never tried a lemon scented soap but I bet it just feels so fresh, must give it a whirl! xx

Yes I'd never tried a lemon soap before either but I'm definitely converted to how fresh and zingy it is.

I used to always use liquid hand soap, but then I tried to use one of Lush's soaps to wash my hands with (instead of using it in the shower, like I always did) and ever since I have been hooked on bars :-) Lush's Porridge soap is a favorite, and so are Cocooning Collection's soaps.

Lush also converted me to using actual soap instead of liquid hand soap. I can't believe I haven't tried the Porridge soap, I love the sound of it but still haven't tried it!

I used to love Lush and Lush soaps, until they changed the formula and now they often become scentless chunks of plastic far too soon. Now I actively boycott Lush on account of their disgusting lack of ethics. I have never been so disappointed with a brand as I am Lush. Still it's forced me to try out new brands and I can highly Recommend Futureprimite soap!

Oh I'm intrigued now by what you mean by their lack of ethics! But yes, there are so many other great brands and it's good to sometimes try out new smaller brands. I'm going to be definitely googling Futureprimite soaps :)

Fee, sorry for delayed reply but if you have a look at all the posts on this blog entitled "the smell of bullshit" it should give you a bit of info. x http://mitheringsfrommorningside.wordpress.com/ca...
I used Lush's Sexy Peel soap for a while, just on my hands. Absolutely loved it, I'm definitely getting a cube to put in the shower for summer.

I've also recently started to make my own soap, so right now I'm using homemade olive/almond oil soap on my hands as a tester (I'm careful with it for now because you never know if something went wrong).
I think I might go get myself a bar of this!:) http://prettylikepastels.blogspot.co.uk/

This is a great review, thank you.
Unfortunately I have only recently discovered about Lush using sulfates which is a huge shame, but I guess i would give it a go for products that are really 100% natural ingredients.

I also use this one and I so love it. it is my second purchase of it. I love LUSH products for I like their formula and designs on some of its products. they are so cute!!.
Rock Star is my ultimate favorite, the color is just perfect and looks lovely in your soap dish (if that makes sense) a really sweet smell and it lasts for ages. Scared to try anything else now! x x x

Thanks for the review, the soap caught my attention. That's great you're so proactive about your skin. I have very sensitive skin myself, so I have to avoid a lot of ingredients as well.

I like how this is very limited in ingredients & the scent looks to be great as well :) http://www.pinqii.com
