Carrot Soap

Here is a soap that falls into one of the most curious categories of bath products.  Carrot Soap is, obviously a carrot and therefore is hard to not love as a vegetable! This soap is a new product in 2018, released for the Spring Range, that is the cutest little vegetable soap ever!  And of course, this is not the only carrot product Lush makes as the carrot is a time-honored symbol of Easter, dating back to its pagan traditions of spring a new life.

Carrot Soap 

Being shaped like a carrot, you might expect this to smell like a carrot. It does include several carrot ingredients like carrot infusion and carrot powder but the smell is not exactly like that of a carrot (thankfully.)  It does have the sweetness of a fresh carrot very noticeable at the forefront of its perfume although this sweetness is a little more fruity because of the addition of tangerine oil.  There is a vibrant woody smell too that follows up the initial sweetness, undoubtedly from the benzoin resinoid and sweet cedarwood oil.  If you take the fragrance of Carrot Soap as a whole it is a like a new sweet and woody carrot-related vegetable but honestly, it is hard to describe. 

Last year, we had the Wash Behind Your Ears shower cream.  While Carrot soap does not smell exactly like that shower cream, if you exclude the jasmine from the shower cream, it smells almost the exact same.

More than just a rectangular bar, this is a cute dang soap. When it is in its uncut form, it looks likes a large orange tart with a wavy green crust. It really catches your eye when you go into the store as a fresh and cheery springtime addition to their already colorful lineup.  Once they cut it, it really begins to stand out as a carrot, just a little bit of a cartoony carrot, with a bush of bright green leaves and a pastel orange section of carrot flesh. 

With Lush's new palm-oil free and significantly better soap base recipe, this is another soap that Lady Bubble and Lord Fizz want to love. When used as a body wash, it is not a very big foamer.  It takes a lot of scrubbing on a loofa to even get a poof of foam.  Additionally, all of that scrubbing really wears down the soap quickly and, right in front of your eyes, it will melt away pretty quickly. The condition of one's skin after using it is not as tight as you might imagine from a bar of soap but it is still a far cry from fully moisturized.  There might be a need for lotion or some other variety of moisturizer after you use this soap.

As a hand soap, this little veggie seems to excel.  It is not drying enough to be noticeable in the hands, the smell seems to linger longer and it won't melt away as quickly after only a couple of passes under the water. 

Carrot soap is not an expensive bar, it is cute and smells quite nice.  Lady Bubble and Lord Fizz can both call this a treasured member of the soap dish that they are excited to lather up with every time they wash their hands.
