South of France Green Tea Soap

It's been ages since I've come across any bath and body products with tea in them, so I was happy to spot this $3.98 bar of soap at the Ingle's grocery store in Bremen over the weekend.

For once, I remembered to check to see if the product did indeed contain camellia sinensis, and this one did!

I love these big fat bars of French milled soap. In fact, one of my teenage nieces is on a Paris kick, so I thought about getting her one to go in her bag of birthday goodies this year. I wondered where in the South of France this soap was made, so I turned it over to see …

Greensboro, North Carolina! Ha! Turns out that only the original recipe is from France, but the soap smells great and lathers well, so I'm pleased. It's such a huge bar, I think I'll be enjoying it for many weeks to come.

  3. Funny where things are actually made. Years ago my brother was in Paris for a few days, no time to shop so he grabbed an item in the airport gift shop for a souvenir for me -a Sandi-cast dog - flipped it over and made in San Diego CA - where we lived. Hahaha

    Your niece will love it.
