You know I love bar soaps, especially soap made from natural and organic ingredients.

A couple of months ago, I received two bars from a new-to-me brand, Hand Over Heart Natural Care:
Citrus Lavender Cleansing Bar
I’ve been using Citrus Lavender for about the past two or three weeks, and I love it. It fits perfectly in my hand for use in the shower. It’s a light orange shade that fits with its citrusy scent. Though it is Citrus Lavender, citrus is the dominant note. If I hadn’t read that it has lavender in it, I wouldn’t have known. Since I’m a big citrus scent fan, I am delighted. The scent is stimulating in the morning, but it’s relaxing to use at night as well. The scent is light rather than strong.
Pure Citrus Lavender Cleansing Bar is made from coconut oil and orange and lavender essential oils. The hypoallergenic cleansing bar contains NO sulfates (SLS, SLES, SCS), triclosan, formaldehyde, salicylates, PEGs, parabens, phosphates, MEA, DEA, TEA, gluten, petroleum-based ingredients, animal by-products, perfumes, dyes or caustics. It is made with 85% organic ingredients. It’s vegan, gluten-free, biodegradable, and certified cruelty-free.
Here’s how Hand Over Heart describes this cleansing bar:
This natural, therapeutic cleansing soap bar will leave your skin nourished and hydrated. The natural cleansers and emollients work up a smooth, gentle lather that carries dirt away, as it moisturizes, soothes and hydrates.
I agree with their description 100%. It lathers up easily, and it makes enough suds that I use it to shave with. It doesn’t strip the oils from my dry skin at all but leaves it lightly hydrated though not hydrated enough to skip using body lotion.
The cleansing bar is 4 oz. and comes in a recyclable cardboard box to protect it. It’s priced at $4.85 per bar if purchased singly or $8.07 for a two-pack. There’s a promo now where shipping is free. If you sign up for emails, you get a 10% off coupon code.
Therapeutic Lemongrass
Basically, the information on the Lemongrass variant is the same as for Citrus Lavender. It is made from a blend of coconut oil and the essential oils of lemongrass, bergamot and sage. I love lemongrass and bergamot, and like the Citrus Lavender, it’s a wonderful gender-neutral scent.

Hi, Allison – Thanks for introducing us to a new natural-care line of products! I’m always interested in such things and especially when they are made with therapeutic essential oils. Nice post…and I love the ducky 😉 – Angie, http://www.yourtrueselfblog.com

Hand Over Heart is a terrific natural brand made with a high percentage organic ingredients. Plus, it’s a pleasure to use. PS the ducky says hi!
This brand is new to me! I’ve been hoping to come across a bar soap I would enjoy. I see they have a gardenia and shea body wash. I hope they turn that into a soap bar some day!
