I’m a sucker for gorgeous-smelling organic bars of soap wrapped in pretty paper. So, when I saw the new selection of bath soaps from Whole Foods, I just had to buy a bar—well, two bars, actually.


Available in Grapefruit Mint, Lavender, Lemon Verbena (my favorite), Linden, Pomelo and Vetiver Cedar, each bar is triple-milled in the South of France (because nobody does soap like the French) with certified organic palm and coconut oils. Scented with essential oils, they are free of phthalate and preservatives, and unlike some organic bars, these do lather, so you’ll feel nice, clean and quite tranquil after each use. Find them in the Whole Body section of your local Whole Foods.






















PALM OIL IS NOT AN ECO-FRIENDLY OPTION; I WOULD SUGGEST YOU CHECK OUT THE SOAPS FROM LUSH; THEY DO NOT USE PALM OIL.
