Thanks to my friends Jess and Whitney, the Moody Sisters, we recently got to try outa complimentary lavender-scented assortment from the Bath & Body line-up, which included a fizzy bath bomb, a bar of handmade soap and a pump bottle of body wash.
My toddlers gave the bath bomb a test drive right away. It fizzes and bubbles and releases therapeutic ingredients (and a wonderful fragrance) when you set it in the water. What fun! You can choose from Dreamy Orange, Moody Mint Julep, Perky Pink Grapefruit, Lovely Lavender and Chai Delight. Each 5 oz. bath bomb is $5.50 and is made from baking soda, arrowroot powder, citric acid, rice bran oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, distilled water and essential oils.
The handmade soap is available in the same scents; opt for either the 2 oz. ($3.50) or 4 oz. ($6.50) size.
Moody Sisters soap features gentle ingredients that do not strip your skin of moisture. The base is saponified oil (olive oil, distilled water, coconut oil, palm oil, shea butter and castor oil) with pure essential oils and mica added. It’s 100% natural, organic and vegan. Either size works as a hand soap or bath bar.
With its unique swirled patterns and rough cut edge, this soap is definitely very artistic – a treat for your skin, your nose….and your eyes. I like to set it out when we have company (and it would make a nice baby shower or wedding gift). I have tried a lot of handmade soap over the years (my sister makes it), and I can assure you this is the good stuff. It holds its shape, makes a rich and creamy lather and lasts a good long while. I recommend that you store it on a wooden holder so it can dry properly, last longer and look better.
And now the foaming body wash, which comes in a convenient 8 oz. pump bottle and retails for $16.50 (on sale right now for $12.50). You get to select from the scents mentioned above. In addition to oils of safflower, avocado, coconut and palm, goat’s milk plays a starring role and gives it extra moisturizing powers. I actually ended up using it more as a hand soap rather than in the shower. I had to use a lot of the product to get a sufficient lather, but at the sink it was a perfect hand wash. Winter weather and frequent hand-washing (thanks to caring for seven children, one dog, four cats and twenty-five chickens!) are not kind to my hands. I’m really happy with this gentle but luxurious goat’s milk soap and would love to try some other scents.
And there’s a giveaway! Moody Sisters is going to give away a soap set to TWO winners; it includes a mega handmade bar of soap and a travel-size body wash. Open to both US and Canada, this giveaway ends April 2nd. Good luck!
GIVEAWAY CLOSED
The soap and body wash sound wonderful. I love finding and trying different soaps and body washes.
Nice prize i like trying something new this looks like some good soap
I checked out the Our Ingredients section so I *think* these soaps are all vegan, correct?
Yes, they are!
Wow sounds like some awesome soap!
One question I do have is what grade of essential oil they use for their lavender soaps? (IE perfume or therapeutic ) thanks!
Moody Sisters uses 100% pure cold-pressed essential oils from US suppliers. No fragrance oils are used. And I wanted to share this note with you from Jess and Whitney: “We find that most essential oils marked as “Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade” are actually from large corporate brands that have trademarked that phrase, as there is no standard for certifying or grading essential oils currently in place….We try whenever possible to support other small businesses in the USA.” ~Anne
Awesome thanks! That’s exactly what I was hoping to hear!
I’ve used homemade soap in the past, but it’s been a long time… I’d love to experience them again. 🙂
How do they get the cool swirled pattern and are there any sandalwood scents?
Toni, when my sister made soap she would layer the different colors and then swirl them with a coat hanger or even a spoon, but I don’t know exactly what the Moody Sisters secret is! Sandalwood is not yet a scent option, but that’s a lovely suggestion. ~Anne
We have sensitive skin and love using natural soap products in our home.Thank you for this giveaway.
I would love to try more products from moody sisters. I love how these are totally natural and Im so glad to see more reviews of their stuff on your blog! keep them coming!!
The question I wanted to ask already got asked. (if they are vegan) so I’ll just say I love that they come in lavender because I love lavender!
I would love to try their products! Lovely Lavender would be my favorite scent!!!

I would probably choose the orange scent but they all sound great!
Wowza, I’ve always wanted to use handmade soap!
I’d pick the Moody Mint Julep scent. I love mint 🙂
I would choose the Orange Scent- the scent would perk me up in the morning!
Nice prize! I’d love the orange scent.

I recently tried Moody Sisters’ soap for the first time and absolutely loved it! I want more!
Great review – the soaps look awesome – thanks for the giveaway 🙂
The bath bomb in Dreamy Orange sounds AH-mazing!
I got hooked on Moody Sisters last fall! I have tried almost all of their products and love it. I’d have to say the Perky Pink Grapefruit is my favorite!
Oh, the Chai Delight for sure!!!
I agree about the body wash. It makes a good hand wash, but is too hard to use in the shower. I have to pump forever to get enough for my washing.
I’m so glad they are responsible soap makers and only make small batches. I can’t really use anything but natural products so I’m going to check them out. Thank you for the giveaway!
I love Moody Sisters, I have been using the cream deodorant for a few months now. I think I would pick the Dreamy Orange scent.
I’m addicted to their mint scent!
I think that I’d like to try the avocado scented soap. But all the products looks wonderful.
I’m a big fan of lavender so probably that!
I would love to try the lavender scent.
Moody Mint Julep sounds like a fun scent to try.
I love their products! I think I’d love to try the lavendar scent!
the body wash in perky pink grapefruit, lovely lavender, and chai delight all sounds like they would smell so awesome! Great giveaway. Thank you. 🙂
Would love to try the Moody Mint Julep. Your soaps are so pretty! I try to use handmade soaps at my house. Fingers crossed, lovely blog. Thanks!
