Gallinée Cleansing Bar – Organic Moisturising Soap-Free Cleansing Bar For Normal & Sensitive Skin, 100g

.

This is a very pricy bar — in relation to the size of it anyway. However, I did some research on Gallinee and I understand it’s quite a difficult product to make and also the only prebiotic cleansing bar made in the UK, hence the price.I like this cleansing bar a lot though, I use it all over my body and it’s one of the few soaps that makes me feel clean, but does not make my skin feel stripped, dry, tight or ‘squeaky’ clean (blergh), which is great. I have very sensitive and extremely dry skin and this leaves me feeling soft, moisturised and smelling fresh. The scent is lovely — very gentle and doesn’t linger at all, but it’s so nice — to me it’s a creamy sweet orange blossom smell, very addictive — I’d love it in body cream or perfume. I didn’t try on my face as I already have a facial routine that works for me and don’t want to disturb it.I managed to finish the bar in just a week with everyday usage all over my body, but I like to do a full wash over twice. I have reordered a few more.

SkinWhen I was using it no one told me that I looked like I had a radiant glow.I did not have any skin swabs or a microbiologist to consult about whether my microbiome had been improved. While using it my skin seemed healthy.Shrinkage rateI am sure that it reduced in size a lot more quickly than any other soaps I have had.I dried it off after use and kept it in the dark.CostAt the time of purchase it was £10.50 which was the most expensive soap I have ever bought. It would have been possible to have purchased a massive pile of normal bars of soap for this much. It has now gone up in price to £13.00.ScentIt did not really have a strong scent to it.

I am very happy with this bar to clean my face. I have sensitive skin with redness. This bar leaves my skin feeling fresh without irritation or dryness. Smells great too.I started to use it as a more sustainable alternative to the micellar water from Bioderma Sensibio range.I do not think it is expensive because the bar lasts for months so it is equivalent to several bottles of micellar water.I would definitely recommend for sensitive skin.

Very gentle but a little expensive

I treat myself with natural soaps. This is the most expensive soap I have ever bought in my life. I thought by looking at the images that this bar was huge. No, it's not! It is a tiny bar. I made the decision to keep it as I want to feel what it claims. But I will never buy it again. There are so many others natural, organic and sheer options everywhere at more affordable prices.

As recommended by Sali Hughes, I bought this to wash my more delicate areas, and it works a treat. It’s quite a soft soap, so I imagine if I used it to wash all of my body, it wouldn’t last long. But it’s great for just my ‘downstairs’ 🤣

This is a very gentle cleansing bar and lathers nicely. I would prefer fragrance free but at least the scent is not overpowering. Works equally well on face and body. Very happy to find a bar with such a low pH and full marks for responsible packaging. Worth spending a bit extra for something so effective and such a pleasure to use.
