DR. JACOBS NATURALS SOAP REVIEW @usfg

May 14, 2018 By Marijean

I am a big fan of natural products, especially ones used on our bodies. I was able to review some natural soap products from Dr. Jacobs Naturals. I am excited to share my thoughts with you on these great natural products.

About Dr. Jacobs Naturals:

Dr. Jacobs was a Swiss chemist that perfected the long-standing Castilian tradition of making Jabon de Castilla or Castile soap before the turn of the 19th century. Today, we still use the same recipes and work to uphold the long-standing tradition of making natural Castile Soap products.

The company Dr. Jacobs was created by Joey and Ezra Aini in the spring 2011. Familiar with cosmetics and skincare from other brands they have launched, they are answering the call of demand from customers for a multi-purpose natural soap product.

Dr. Jacobs Naturals offers a line of natural bar soaps and also liquid soaps. I love how these products are free from all the nasties: NON-GMO, Paraben Free, Sulfate Free, Gluten Free, Free of artificial dyes & coloring. PETA Cruelty Free & Vegan.

I was able to review 3 products that are offered. Two of them are liquid soap/body wash and one is a body soap bar.

Dr. Jacobs Naturals Castile Bar Soap – Coco Loco Limeade

$5.95 for 5 oz

DESCRIPTION

Say hello to your tropical paradise. Your shower is transformed into a mini cabana in Hawaii while your body is treated to the indulgence of a pina colada bath. Hydrate and enrich your skin with coconut oil and allow the freshly peeled lime bits to exfoliate, brighten, and renew. The rich pairing will tease your senses and awaken you for the day ahead. Our Triple Milled Castile Soap with Organic Shea Butter is made with all-natural ingredients void of any chemical derivatives to give you an experience like you’d find in nature. Dr. Jacobs soaps are the most superior as our process allows them to retain their natural glycerin content producing a much more moisturizing experience than traditional bars can offer. No parabens, petrochemicals, sulfates, phthalates. Gluten free. 100% Vegan. 100% recycled paper. Made in USA. Directions: Pour on a washcloth, sponge, or hand. Lather and rinse. Ingredients: Sodium Palmate, Sodium Cocoate, Water, Glycerin, Blends of Essential Oils and Fragrance, Organic Shea Butter, Mint Leaves, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Gluconate, Rosemary Extract, Chlorophyllin.

Sodium Palmate, Sodium Cocoate, Water, Glycerin, Blends of Essential Oils and Fragrance, Organic Shea Butter, Mint Leaves, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Gluconate, Rosemary Extract, Chlorophyllin.

This bar smells so good! I love the coconut smell with a hint of lime. It is smooth and does not leave a film on your body when you wash it off.

Dr. Jacobs Naturals Castile Liquid Soap – Almond Honey

$10.95 for 16 oz or $17.95 for 32 oz.

DESCRIPTION

This gentle blend of almond and honey is nourishing for the skin and rich in antioxidants. Enriched with sweet Almond Oil, the Almond and Honey blend provides a natural source of Omega 9 to add moisture. Real honey lends its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, as well as offering the protective ability to retain moisture, keeping the skin hydrated all day, soft and smooth to the touch. Almond oil is a popular essential oil commonly used in aromatherapy and is suitable for most skin types. It is rich in vitamin A, B and E, which are great for skin health. Directions: Pour on a washcloth, sponge, or hand. Lather and rinse. Ingredients: Organic olive oil, coconut oil, sunflower oil, sodium hydroxide, almond oil, aqua, fragrance, honeycomb, jojoba oil, vitamin E.

INGREDIENTS

Water, Saponified Coconut Oil, Saponified Olive Oil, Potassium Oleate, Vegetable Glycerin, Coco-Glucoside, Natural Almond Fragrance, Sea Salt, Aloe Vera, Vitamin E

My favorite scent in the world is the smell of Almonds. I just love it. Mix that with honey….oh my gosh I am in heaven. This soap is just amazing, smell wise and lather wise. It goes on thick and the smell is light when you wash it off. Makes my skin so smooth! The 16 oz comes with a soap pump while the 32 oz does not.

Dr. Jacobs Naturals Castile Liquid Soap – Peppermint

$10.95 for 16 oz or $17.95 for 32 oz.

DESCRIPTION

Peppermint will cleanse and deliver a soothing and cooling effect for your skin while providing a pleasantly refreshing and tingling sensation. Modern Science has been catching up with Mint and some of the most recent findings show that it is neuro-protective, offering benefits for reducing the risk of reactive oxygen species-related diseases. It soothes the skin and helps to cure infections and itchiness, as well as being a good way to reduce pimples. Its anti-pruritic properties can be used for treating insect bites like those of mosquitoes, honeybees, hornets, wasps, and gnats. The cooling sensation will relieve you of the irritating sensation to scratch. Directions: Pour on a washcloth, sponge, or hand. Lather and rinse. Ingredients: Aqua, organic coconut oil, olive oil, sunflower seed oil, potassium hydroxide, glycerin, clove oil, tea tree oil, citric acid, caramel.

INGREDIENTS

Water, Saponified Coconut Oil, Saponified Olive Oil, Potassium Oleate, Vegetable Glycerin, Coco-Glucoside, Peppermint Oil, Sea Salt, Aloe Vera, Vitamin E

Who doesn’t like the smell of peppermint? I was a little skeptical of this scent because I have never thought of washing my body with a peppermint scent. It is wonderful! Very light but pleasant. The liquid is just like the Almond Honey, where it is thick and makes my skin very smooth. The 16 oz comes with a soap pump while the 32 oz does not.

I am very happy with these natural body soap products. As you can see, there is nothing artificial about the ingredients at all. It feels good knowing what I put on my skin. This soap is made in the USA and is safe for the whole family. Check out their whole line here at: https://drjacobsnaturals.com

FILMRISE CELEBRATES EARTH DAY BY RELEASING STUNNING NATURE DOCUMENTARY “LEARNING TO SEE: THE WORLD OF INSECTS” ON April 17, 2018

FILMRISE CELEBRATES EARTH DAY

BY RELEASING STUNNING NATURE DOCUMENTARY

“LEARNING TO SEE: THE WORLD OF INSECTS” ON

April 17, 2018

Available on Amazon Video, Google Play, iTunes, Vudu

[arve url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeeDZ8BqjSc&feature=youtu.be” /]

“The images in the film are spectacular. Robert is soft-spoken but the world he captures is vibrant and eye-exploding. LEARNING TO SEE gives a full portrait of this artist who gave up everything and rediscovered himself, really on his own.”

— AMFM MAGAZINE

This April, FilmRise will release LEARNING TO SEE: THE WORLD OF INSECTS, a vibrant journey of discovery for both father and son as Jacob (director of the film) documents the exquisite photographic work of his father, Robert Oelman. Struggling with a mid-life crisis, Robert made the decision to leave his successful career as a psychotherapist and moved to South America where he began pursuing a career in nature photography. The film chronicles Robert’s life in the rainforests of Colombia by documenting his relationships to insects by capturing vibrant and fascinating photographs of them. We see and hear Oelman’s photography assistant Christian as well as key scientists and wildlife conservationists as we’re exposed to his brilliant and mysterious images that show how special and fragile our world is. Robert has helped scientists identify over a dozen new insect species and has been the first to photograph hundreds more.

LEARNING TO SEE: THE WORLD OF INSECTS will be available for sale and rental on Amazon Video, iTunes, Google Play and Vudu April 17, 2018, timed for release in time for Earth Day celebrations.

Through Roberts words and through his photographic process we learn that we are all connected, even to the tiniest of life forms which we often overlook, but mustn’t if we’re to continue to survive. We learn that even life forms which are at the bottom on the mammalian food chain are critical to all animal species, including mankind. After more than twenty years of traveling, searching and photographing these tiny insects, his quest culminiates with a New York City gallery show of his photographs.

Co-produced by Academy Award nominee and Emmy winner Jerry Aronson (Chasing Ice, The Life and Times of Allen Ginsberg, The Divided Trail) and Robert’s son Jake Oelman (Dear Sidewalk, The Electric Daisy Carnival Experience), LEARNING TO SEE: THE WORLD OF INSECTS was an Official Selection at 2016’s SXSW and 2016 DC Environmental Film Festival. The film was a Grand Jury Nominee at the Nashville Film Festival and a Social Impact Award Nominee at the 2016 Greenwich International Film Festival. The film also won several awards including the Audience Award -Documentary Feature at the 2016 Mammoth Lakes Film Festival and the Cause Cinema Spotlight Award at the 2016 South Bay Film & Music Festival.

“The lurking message is of the fragility of a big, beautiful planet that has still not been fully explored.” – The Austin Chronicle
