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.
Made in NC! That's funny! But I bet the soap smells delicious,
ReplyDeleteWell, Greensboro is south of France. :-)
ReplyDeleteFunny 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
ReplyDeleteYes, Greensboro is south of France! Very clever marketing.
ReplyDeleteI have a real weakness for French milled soaps and would definitely snatch this one up.
ReplyDeleteYour niece will love it.
At least it wasn't made in China! Sounds wonderful!

Again your tea radar was working hard for you Angela! Nice gift!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a nice soap. I had to laugh that it was made in Greensboro.
ReplyDeleteI adore tea toiletries, they always smell so amazingly fresh and nice!
