Review: Pleasant Earth Soap Company

Obviously, I am a huge fan of cosmetics.  Beauty products and I have shared a love affair for many years and I love introducing people to cruelty-free brands they can add to their collections.  I find it particularly enjoyable when the products happen to be made in my own backyard.  In doing my part to support local businesses, I often peruse the farmer's market and on a recent trip, I stumbled upon a wonderful little brand called Pleasant Earth Soap Company. 

Made right here in Central Florida, Pleasant Earth Soap Company offers various bar soaps, masks and facial treatments - even a gentle shampoo bar for your furry friends.  Some of the particularly noteworthy products include their bug repellant, an all natural blend of essential oils without all of the chemicals found in store bought repellants, and their fragrance-free Raw Organic Shea Butter.  I also found their coconut milk soaps in various fragrances (and fragrance-free options) to be moisturizing and soothing to sensitive skin.

I'm a sucker for facial treatments and masks, so I simply could not pass up the Dead Sea Mud Mask (sorry, it doesn't appear to be on their website at this time but you could likely contact the sellers to purchase it.)  It's thick, creamy, and free of any fragrances.  In about 10 minutes, it dries to a matte gray finish and rinses easily away. 

The Pros:

This brand is skin-loving and targeted to sensitive skin.  Most of the products offered either help with skin issues, such as eczema and psoriasis, or are free or fragrances and dyes that could irritate skin.  The Dead Sea Mask relaxes facial muscles instantly; I noticed an immediate softening of fine lines.  A bonus?  The mud naturally has some grit to it so by adding water to your palms and massaging skin while washing the mask off, you get a gentle exfoliation treatment to boot!  All of the bar soaps offered are under $5 and are 4 - 5 ounce cuts - you can afford to try different items without going broke.  Last but not least, PES Company uses earth friendly packaging options.

The Cons:

The Pleasant Earth Soap Company's website is a bit sparse where available inventory is concerned.  You may look into contacting the seller directly to find out what other products are available (for example, the dog shampoo bar I purchased at the farmer's market shop). 

If you're looking for a local, small business that supports local farmers, you will love Pleasant Earth Soap Company's soothing, mild bath offerings.
