Thread: Mama Bear soap samples

Quick question, has anyone here purchased the Mama Bear Essential Oil shaving soap samples and if so what was their opinion. I have sensitive skin so I would prefer something that was as natural as possible. Any other recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks

I got a puck of Mama Bear's patchouli and love it. I know nothing of how it is for sensitive skin but MB has a great reputation and I would believe any claims made on the web site. I can tell you it is easy for me to make a great lather with it and the scent is not over powering. If I don't use an aftershave I can smell it for several hours afterwards but it's not so strong that it argues with the aftershave when I do use it. As the story goes " it's just right".
I am using some all natural artisan soaps right now but they are taking me some trials to get the lather just right. I am getting better results as I use them more. Other will chime in about what chemicals to avoid in soaps that do have problems.

I haven't, but I've heard of the brand and curious to see if others have tried it.

Unfortunately, sensitivity to essential oils is a very personal and highly variable thing. For instance, I do not have sensitive skin and have never had any problem with irritation with any of the artisan soaps except for Petal Pusher Fancies Steam River Rum. I can use any other bay rum soap without issue but that one lights me up. Go figure. Your best bet in my opinion is to try the samples, perhaps stick to fragrance oils instead of essential oils if possible, and take your chances.

Don't buy a bunch of anything till' you find out !

I used Mamma Bear Ye Ole Barbershop soap today. My skin gets irritated by anything that is too perfumed. Consequently Truefitt and Taylors are mostly off limits for me. But I've never had any problems with Mamma Bear. But depending on what aggravates your skin, you might be in a different situation. Mamma Bear sells 1.5 oz pucks that are great for melting into a latte mug. Just unwrap the soap and place it in the mug. Give it ten seconds or so in the microwave and let it cool/set up. When I make my lather, I make it right on top of the soap in the mug. Its not bad stuff. I buy the small pucks because it gives me the option to change it up frequently and sample a few different ones without risking too much cash in the event I don't like it.

I have eight Mama Bear soaps in my rotation and love the rich lather and great scents they give. Try the samples and if they prove easy on the skin don't hold back, you will not be disappointed. I use the double boiler method of melting the soaps in my jars instead of the microwave. Too much heat isn't good for the scent and isn't that one of the reasons for having so many soaps. I hope they are kind to your face.

I also use Mama Bears soaps and have found they are great. The scent is really nice without being over-powering. She has a lot of great scents to choose from also; my personal favorites is the Vanilla Sandalwood and Toased Coconut. I haven't had any issues with them and can get a great lather.

I've been able to get about 3 shaves off each sample so if oyu wanted can try a few and see how it works for you.

I have yet to meet a mama bear soap that I would consider a keeper. This is my experience and all others experiences with
this product may have a different result.

I adore Mama Bear's Soaps! I have been using them almost exclusively for the past 5 months. I get a GREAT lather and glide and mixed with a touch of cream and glycerin the uber just EXPLODES out of the bowl!! I can't recommend them enough!
