Casa de Lorenzo Cacao Dark Castile Soap

Hello. I'm back to feature another essential that I got from my beautyMNL haul. Still in the subject of food-themed bath products and yet again chocolate (or rather "cacao'), I have a Castile soap from local brand Casa de Lorenzo.

The scent of this soap is reminiscent of milk chocolate rather than a more stronger "dark chocolate." Despite that, I still liked the smell which reminded me of hot cocoa - very decadent and relaxing. Too bad that the scent didn't really linger on the skin after I wash it off. The soap comes out as a deep brown liquid with (a bit bigger than usual) cacao bits and a creamy consistency. This also doesn't lather very well. After use, my skin feels clean and soft but it's not as moisturizing as I expected. I needed to apply lotion after to combat a bit of tightness due to the lack of moisture. I wasn't really very impressed with this soap. With the price, it doesn't give you a lot of positives except that this doesn't contain any artificial (i.e. harmful) ingredients.
