Soapy Pandan Mint Handmade Soap

November 13, 2008 Paris B 33 Comments

On my last visit to the Tiny Tapir headquarters during their open day, I was intrigued by a selection of handmade soaps for sale under the brand name – Soapy. As with all things sold by Tiny Tapir, the product is natural and eco-friendly. Best of all, Soapy is made right here in Malaysia!

I bought a small piece to try in Pandan Mint. The soap is handmade and natural with glycerin as its main ingredient. There are many flavours available but I opted for the soap infused with pandan (screwpine) and peppermint to refresh and invigorate.

When used in the shower, I found that the soap lathered up very easily. Just a few rubs between your wet palms will create a rich lather. The smell of pandan for those who are familiar with it, is not only refreshing but delicious too! The peppermint was very subtle but it left a very faint tingling cool feel on the skin. Invigorating indeed! The nice thing is that the skin does not feel dry after showering.

I bought a little bar for RM2 to test and I think I’m going back for the full sized version (100g) which retails for RM13 each – pricey for a bar of soap but not pricey when compared to shower creams or gels that finish up faster. The little bar of Soapy soap I bought lasted quite long with regular use – approx 3 weeks. Best of all, it makes a perfect travel partner because it is a little bar of soap and therefore not subject to the 100ml rule on airlines! 🙂 One little bar is enough to last you a few trips – just leave it to dry overnight before packing it away; and the Pandan Mint is lovely and refreshing after a long day of travel or walking. I would love it even better if they could be like Lush and create a solid shampoo – that’ll take care of my packing woes for good!

Here are the ingredients in this Soapy soap : Sunflower Oil, Coconut Oil, Pandan Juice, Palm Oil, Castor Oil, Sweet Orange Essential Oil, Peppermint Essential Oil

    @Connie : I only saw the Pandan Mint trial sizes so I’m not sure if they have the others. Do drop by – they are nice to deal with.

    I saw from Tiny Tapir’s webbie that they only open upon request :-/ so i can’t really “drop by” can I?

    @Connie : They are now open Monday-Saturday 11am-6pm. I guess they haven’t updated their site. Try giving them a call – someone should be there.

    Hee hee, a very apt name indeed, and very cheap too!

    Hmm I wonder if I could make my own soaps here and call it “Sabun” …

    I went to the website and check out the soaps. Wah…the packaging so old fashion? Should have repackaged it nicely and market it altogether. Anybody use before? Hows the effect? I know there’s another company selling this in KL. Dont know about the quality though.

      Just a note on Soapy Soaps packaging – it’s very minimalistic, yes, but we like it because Dylis uses biodegradeable plastic film to package the soaps 🙂 much better for the environment too..
