I would like you to meet my very most favorite coconut-free soap.
This is Jane. Jane, meet my coconut-allergic friends!
Pectolite's Plain Jane Soap |
Jane is great. She comes from a soap maker named PECTOLITE. Lee, the owner of Pectolite (whom I've only met through email) wanted my opinion on her new coconut-free line before she started it up.
She is really interested in making quality, natural products with no gunk in them and also has a friend who is allergic to coconut whom she is trying to help out.
And that's when Plain Jane Soap and I met. Jane has never let me down. Sure, she is pretty plain. So plain, she's not even vanilla. Nope. She's super clean-cut. I have to admit, I have definitely used her, but she's held up better than any coconut-free soap. And, my husband is a big fan of this soap, too. He's not even allergic to anything but he is a picky soap guy. He likes how super moisturizing it is and compared it to Dove. It is amazing during these cold dry winter months. I even started using it to shave with. Check Plain Jane out after more than a month of sliding around in my shower!
Good OLD mostly-used Jane |
For those of you who are used to most coconut-free soaps, you will notice one HUGE difference: No slimyness. She ages beautifully! And yes, she lathers!
But wait just a second, Jane has a brand new WILDER younger sibling who has yet to be named.
And so it arrived. . . |
This one is a little more feisty and Pectolite is giving away several for you to try and help find a name!
This one's got all the same positive qualities of Jane, but with an exotic scent. |
I have my ideas for a name, but I am not going to share mine just yet!
If you would like a free sample to try coming up with a name, please do these THREE things:
First, email Lee Pectol, the owner of Pectolite at info@pectolite.net . She will need your name and address to send the soap. Tell her Becky from the coconut allergy blog sent you. Second, leave me a comment to let me know you emailed her. UPDATE: Thank you, we have now reached the 14 comments and the soap is gone. IMPORTANT: Third, after you try the soap, comment one more time on this post with your best name for it. Lee and her team will pick their favorite and send out a prize to the winner!
