IHA Honey Moisturizing Dry Skin Bathing Bar Review

Hi Everyone

Here's again a treat for those who can't resist trying natural handmade soaps like me. I have been using many skin care products from the brand IHA and find them all drool worthy. Just like I'm in love with all of them, it’s hard not to buzz about this one too. I would review their Honey Moisturizing Dry Skin Bathing Bar today.

About the Product:

IHA Honey Dry Skin Bathing Bar is a rich creamy Body Wash that cleanses, moisturizes and soothes dry, itchy, sensitive and irritated skin. Its natural actives, moisturizers and emollients like honey, milk, mango and kokum butter provide natural moisture balance to your skin and you emerge from your bath feeling soft well-moisturized and delicately scented with the sweet aroma of Honey and Orange.

Price: Rs 140 

Weight: 125 gms
Shelf Life: 3 yrs

Packaging:

The soap bar comes in cardboard carton with every possible detail on how to use it, what has gone into its formulation, price n quantity etc. The soap bar itself is neatly wrapped in clear sheet and has a label stuck on it with the brand logo and name of variant written along.

My Experience:

Most of us know that honey is used in preparation of many skin care products and it does wonders to retain moisture in the skin. Many of you might be looking for a honey based soap during winter season when the harsh cold weather takes a toll on your skin, but I am the one with such dry skin that I need to be very selective for products that may lock in moisture in my skin. Highly impressed with IHA range of products, I picked this soap with great expectation. 

The soap is brown in color with some darker swirls on brown within the soap bar which looks amazingly attractive. I could not actually relate the fragrance to honey and orange exactly, but its a sober blend of other ingredients too. A faint smell remains on skin for some time and then fades away. The soap bar is quite a good portion, so I don't mind cutting it into two halves and saving one piece for later use.

The soap is creamy as you hold it in your hand as well as when you rub it on your wet skin. It doesn't melt excessively, so one bar would last quite long. It lathers much more if you use loofah for rubbing it on skin. The skin feels soft and nourished post bath. I find it too mild to be used for my child also. Since the soap is enriched with various emollients like kokum butter, mango butter, cow's milk etc., I dared to use it on my face also. But I didn't rubbed the soap bar directly on facial skin, rather rubbed it between my palms, quickly applied on face and rinsed it without leaving it on my face for longer. I didn't experience any side effects, breakouts etc.
The soap bar is pH balanced so it doesn't disturb the natural moisture balance of the skin.

Though at times I need to follow up applying a moisturizer to cure dryness of my skin, so I prefer using the Skin Dew Moisturizer from the same brand which has been reviewed here. 

Pros: 

• Deeply moisturizes the skin.
• Doesn't cause itching or stretchy feel.
• Suited for dry to normal skin as well as sensitive skin.
• Doesn't melt easily.
• Smells nice.
• Excellent ingredients including Kokum butter, mango butter, cow's milk
• No animal testing.
• Decent Price.
• Easy online availability.

Cons:

None.

To sum it up, IHA Honey Moisturizing Dry Skin Bathing Bar is not an expensive buy, but much more than a superfood to come up with skin smoothening results. Including it in your daily bath routine with make your skin feel free from impurities with gentle cleaning.
