South of France Review & Giveaway

No, I'm not crazy and I didn't lie to you, this is still the Kids Event, but I thought the mommas who are on here trying to win something great for their kids deserved the chance to win something great for themselves!

I had the chance to review some really great products from a company called South of France. As you know, I like good and unique smelling soaps, lotions, perfumes, etc. I found some really great ones from South of France.

I was sent the Almond, Citrus Mint and Honey French Milled Bar Soaps, The Tea Tree Sandalwood Glycerin Bar Soap, the Green Tea Liquid Soap and the Acai Pomegranate and Shea Butter Body Lotions.

So far, I have used the Citrus Mint French Milled Bar Soap, the Green Tea Liquid Soap and the Shea Butter Body Lotion and have loved them all.

I really like how light the body lotion is and how just a tiny bit goes a really long way. The lotion smelled light and fresh, not heavily perfumed and overbearing. The Green Tea Liquid soap has a nice clean scent and the color goes perfect in my master bath (I'm kind of weird like that and like for things to match). My favorite though is the Citrus Mint French Milled Bar Soap. I am extremely sensitive to bar soap for some reason. For one, I hate how it feels like it leaves a film on my skin and my skin always feels so dry after I use it. Also, I have some other sensitivities to it (but I don't want to get too personal LOL) so I was kind of feeling bad that they had sent me 4 bars of soap (which are huge, by the way). I decided to just test one out and see what happened though. I peeled off the wrapper and loved the smell of the soap. So different from any other kind of soap I have ever used. Then, to my surprise, it didn't leave a weird film on my skin. The true test though was seeing if I was sensitive to it and I have used it for the past 4 days with no sensitivity whatsoever! I am sold!



That brings me to wanting to share the companies goals and values with you...

proactive products
It’s difficult living in the age of science and technology, where information is abundant and scientists reveal daily how more and more of the products and substances we come into contact with are detrimental to our health. South of France has made a commitment to be diligent and proactive in seeking out this information, understanding how it applies to our products, and reassessing ways to make our products better for you. For example, South of France products don’t contain harmful chemicals such as EDTA, SLS, Parabens or Phthalates, even when many of our competitors continue to do so; another reason why the South of France experience is one that you can feel comfortable trusting.

do no harm
The range of products under the South of France brand are Cruelty Free, which means they will never be tested on animals or contain animal by-products.

pride in quality
South of France utilizes premium ingredients, such as Shea Butter, Pure Vegetable Glycerin, 100% natural Vegetable Oils, Mineral Pigments & Essential Oils, as well as the traditional Triple-French-Milled soap-making technique – all in an effort to provide customers a product with a measure of quality that is simply superior to the competition.

sustainability
South of France searches for ingredients and packaging that decreases the impact on the natural environment. South of France also maintains East and West Coast divisions, which increases distribution efficiency and significantly reduces its carbon footprint.
