Soap Review: Desert Soapstone’s Oatmeal Lavender

Love the crinkle cut edges and creaminess of this soap! This is a lovely soap, with a stable, creamy lather. The scent is soft and fresh- not overpowering. The interesting two layered design is eye catching and pretty. I received my order as two smaller bars banded together- each bar is approximately 3 3/8 x [...]

Soap Review: DeShawn Marie Handmade Soap’s “Lavender Cloud”

A very creative design, with pretty colors and a soft scent. I was immediately attracted to the curvaceous shape of this unique soap, and just HAD to try it! The hand formed design definitely gives it an “artsy” edge. The two layered effect was another nice detail. One “layer” was more opaque than the other, [...]

Soap Makers: Send us samples of your soap! We will rate your soap in several areas that are most important to your customers, and publish all positive reviews on our site, along with your company name and a picture of the product. This will give you important feedback to use in developing and marketing your product, as well as give your company website a nice backlink.

Multiple submissions are welcome, but if you send 15 soaps, plan on it taking a little longer for us to write those 15 reviews!

Soap Samples should be sent to:

Rate My Soap
ATTN: Kelly West
30244 Whitehall Drive
Milton Delaware 19968

Reviews will be written and posted within a week of receiving your submission. Include your own photos or we will be happy to shoot them ourselves on a stock background. Image sizes should be cropped to: Width: 610 px. Height: 320 px so they will fit into the large slide show that you see above.

Please include the name of your company, website address if you have one, contact information, price per bar, shipping cost and a short description of your product.

All samples will be rated on a "10 Star" scale, with 1 being absolutely horrible garbage, and 10 being the best darn soap we've ever used! Don't worry- we'll be honest, but never rude or nasty. If the soap truly does rate horribly, we will notify you rather than posting our thoughts for the world to see!

Additionally, visitors to this site will be able to post comments to your reviews once they have been posted. This is a great site to link back to, showing your potential customers all the great things others have said about your soap.

Your soap will be rated on it's:

size (fit in the hand, value for the money)
color/shape/visual appeal
how it compares to similarly formulated bars
cleaning ability
feel while being used (slimy/creamy, hard/soft)
amount and quality of suds/lather/bubbles
labeling (creativity/visual appeal/informational, etc)
packaging when received (if applicable)

We'll give general comments as well, making suggestions as we see fit. This is a great opportunity to have an independent person use your product and give you an honest evaluation. It will provide insight into what your web customers are expecting, and how well your product meets their expectations.

Soap Review: Desert Soapstone’s Oatmeal Lavender

Love the crinkle cut edges and creaminess of this soap!

This is a lovely soap, with a stable, creamy lather. The scent is soft and fresh- not overpowering. The interesting two layered design is eye catching and pretty. I received my order as two smaller bars banded together- each bar is approximately 3 3/8 x 2 x 3/4 inches. really nice for hand soap. It would be a thoughtful addition to a guest bathroom or powder room. The crinkle cut edges are truly genious- they give a great texture and feel rather "scrubby." Buy your own bars HERE.

Soap Review: DeShawn Marie Handmade Soap’s “Lavender Cloud”

Slippery Soap

A very creative design, with pretty colors and a soft scent.

I was immediately attracted to the curvaceous shape of this unique soap, and just HAD to try it! The hand formed design definitely gives it an "artsy" edge. The two layered effect was another nice detail. One "layer" was more opaque than the other, and had lavender flowers in it. This soap was more creamy than bubbly, and left my hands feeling squeaky clean. A beautiful bar for gift giving, or for placing in a powder room to impress guests! Buy a bar for yourself HERE.

Lavender Cloud
Initial Presentation
Exquisite Attention to Presentation/Packaging Detail!

Overall Visual Appeal of Product
Very unique shape- hand formed.

Color
Nice, soft color, and design.

Shape/Size
Smaller than expected- about 2.25 inches square, but very unique shape.

First Use Impressions
Took a bit to get initial lather.

Lather
Lather was creamy, with medium bubbles.

Scent
Soft/moderate lavender scent.

Final Rinse and Feel
Leaves hands feeling squeaky clean.

Overall
This soap is a winner for unique visual interest!

Soap Review: Pamper and Preen’s “Unruly Patchouli”

August 2nd, 2010

Slippery Soap

Lovely soap with exceptional feel and scent, fabulous bubbles!

Is it possible to not only enjoy a soap, but to "love" it as well? Pamper and Preen's Unruly Patchouli has captured my heart! Initially attracted to the beautiful swirls of bright pink and the fun name, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I loved the scent as well. It's difficult to buy a soap on line, not knowing what it will smell like. Thankfully, Unruly Patchouli is not your momma's hippie patchouli. It is delightfully balanced with hints of floral notes. The lather is absolutely "to die for!" Silky smooth, HUGE bubbles, frothy and creamy. Try a bar for yourself, and you will understand why we call this "The golden standard of cold process soap." Find it HERE.

Sample Soap
Initial Presentation
Beautiful orchid print custom wrap.

Overall Visual Appeal of Product
Cute, square shape, bright color.

Color
Beautiful swirled two toned pink.

Shape/Size
Perfect size for hands! Approx. 3 inches square.

First Use Impressions
Immediately silky, slippery and bubbly.

Lather
Soft, fluffy, billowing bubbles, without much creaminess.

Scent
LOVELY floral/patchouli blend. Not overpowering.

Final Rinse and Feel
Rinses cleanly and completely. Hands are soft and clean.
