Mom-Finds: Giga and Ilog Maria Soaps

Last Friday of the month:  Mom-Finds


Imagine the cool, relaxing scent of mint wafting through the air...it's like you're walking into a spa.

That's how I felt after using this bath soap for the first time and it made me look forward to my daily showers after a tiring day.

I rarely splurge on beauty or personal care products, but from time to time, I like to buy myself a few things I can indulge in and which I know will make me feel good after using them. One of them is this nourishing bath soap. With it's natural ingredients and essential oils that soothes and refreshes, it was 'love at first bath' for me using GIGA Bath Botanics Aromatherapy Bath Bar in cooling Peppermint scent. I have tried the Lavender earlier, which is also wonderful, but this cool mint soap trumps all the other local soaps I've tried.

The peppermint aromatherapy soap bar is aptly described as "stimulating, cooling, and relaxing", with a soothing scent that lingers. It contains olive oil, oatmeal and virgin coconut oil among others. The oatmeal bits serve as a mild body scrub and it just feels and smells oh so good!

Same goes for Ilog Maria's Spearmint Honey & Oatmeal Soap which I received as gift last Christmas. Ilog Maria Honeybee Farm produces the very popular, all-natural skin and hair care line made with their own honey-based products. The texture and scent of this soap is very similar to Giga's, and equally delivers a cool, minty and tingling sensation on the skin!

Both soaps are made with organic natural ingredients, and melt a lot faster than your regular bath soap, ergo more expensive. But the refreshing, invigorating feeling I get after every use makes me want to take longer showers. I am now addicted to these mint-scented soaps!


I buy our Giga products at their kiosk in Virra Mall, Greenhills.
Ilog Maria products are only available at their farm store and online.

Find a store near you, or order online:
EchoStore (Serendra and Podium branches) carries both brands.
