Price: Rs 155 for 100gms
Ingredients
Pros
just like all handmade soaps, gentle on skin and doesn’t leave skin stretched
can be used easily on a baby as well
doesn’t melt so easily and does last around a month with two usages per day
Cons
not as moisturizing as it says
expensive!!
I totally love natural handmade soaps and love to try out various different ones so this one was on my radar since I got Rustic Art products for review. The usage of Algae made me curious to check it out. But, the soap is nothing in fancy in looks. In fact, its a dull dark brown in color and no fragrance at all.
As it says “an ultimate moisturizer”, I thought it would leave my skin really soft and not very dry. It didn’t leave my skin dry at all nor did my skin feel stretched even if I forgo the moisturizer but I do feel one needs to moisturize immediately afterwards. I felt as if the Algae did nothing extra!!
Ok, it will be unfair to say any product should be doing a double duty and moisturizing is a routine one must not forgo in any case. Surprisingly, the product didn’t melt as soon as I feared it would. It did last me around a month of good usage. The best part of the product is it is organic but I do feel its expensive as well.

March 31, 2013 at 7:10 PMRustic Art if you are reading this please clear my confusion as what the meaning of Fine fragrances is? From what i have researched on the internet fragrances used in bodycare products always means synthetic. Why dont you use the word essential oils if it is natural?

June 12, 2013 at 11:47 AM‘Fine fragrances’ here means ‘fine fragrances of essential oils’. We are glad that you have raised this query. It only means that there are users like you who are informed and sensitive to these things.
We assure you that there are NO SYNTHETIC FRAGRANCES used in any of Rustic Art products. We will mention ‘fine fragrance of essential oils’ in the packaging from the next batch. We value your suggestion.
Thank you for writing to us through Swati’s blog.
