“These beautiful soaps are works of art! And, what a wonderful alternative to soaps andshampoos full of chemicals in plastic containers.
The shampoo bar is great, making my hair silky and soft. The soap bars feel so good on my skin . . . Say goodbye to dry flaky winter bodies.”

“I started out buying the bee body soap which has done an amazing job keeping my skin moisturized during the Maine winter. I kind of reluctantly tried the hair shampoo bar. It’s so much greener than buying liquid shampoo in a plastic bottle, but I was suspicious of a bar of soap for my hair. Well, my hair is happier than it’s been since I was about 12 years old! The shampoo bar has made my hair so soft and shiny! I love it! Also, trying to be green. I tried the dish paste. Once again, trying to avoid liquids in plastic containers! The paste cleans beautifully and my hands have not been raw from being dried out since I started using it. Great products!”

“Great homemade soap and shampoo. Doesn't dry out your skin and scalp! All-natural ingredients and lasts a long time. Highly recommend these products!”
— Michael Myers
“Wow! The moisturizer bars (evening primrose butter bars) are amazing! My skin was extra dry from the sun and salty sea air! I am undergoing chemo treatments and this bar restored my skin to its soft state! Your soap is so beautiful and feels so good on my skin. I gave them as gifts and everyone loved them . . . I will never use another soap ever. They look like soap in an art form!”
— Cathy York
“Huge fan of the woodsy dude soap—when I step out of the shower I’m refreshed like I just took a stroll through a pine forest. When the bar’s down to halfway I make sure I order another as a backup!”
— Ian Stevenson
Soap is the best! Skin feels silky smooth and clean. Love the shampoo! Hair feels amazing, silky and soft. Great products with NO CHEMICALS!”
— Irene Freytor
“I love the hair shampoo bar. It lathers up really well and leaves wet hair so smooth there is no need for conditioner. Very impressed. The bar soap makes me feel clean without drying out my body. I use only natural products and these soaps are some of the best!!!”
— Nina Shorey
“Thank you for the soap delivery this morning! Its so easy to order on your site. I agree with other testimonials - you make a great product - I was using one of the bars I got in the fall all this week and it cleared up all my itchy dry spots. Looking forward to try the new ones!”

“I have been using Maine Botanical Soaps organic shampoo bars and soap for six months now and I can’t say enough good things about them. The French green clay in the shampoo bar balances out my natural hair and scalp oils so that my oily hair only needs to be washed every other day. In addition, my hair is fine and has little natural body to it. In the past I have often used mousse to give it more lift, but find that step unnecessary with the shampoo bar and have cheerfully eliminated that step from my hair care routine. As for the soaps, I am only on my second bar in both the tub and at the kitchen sink - the bars last forever. I like knowing that I’m doing a small part in reducing my plastic bottle footprint - and in giving bars as gifts I’m hopefully getting others to do likewise. What’s not to like? Local, organic, does the job, reduces plastic consumption, well priced, lovely to look at, great for gift giving.”

“I have used a couple of Maine Botanical Soaps and love the smell of them. I have been so pleasantly surprised at how long the bars last, three or four times as long as the Irish Spring I have used in the past.”
— Bob Paolella
“Thank you! I just used them this morning and I’m amazed!
The shampoo bar is perfect and exactly what I was looking for. No residue and such a nice gentle clean. My hair felt so light afterwards and full.
Love the blue tansy bar too, light barely there scent and great lather! Worked lovely as a facial bar too - calming.
I can’t wait to try some more options in the near the future. Thanks again!”

“Julia does a wonderful job with her soaps. I messaged her last week to help me get a birthday gift to my sister on Peaks Island. I placed my order, paid online, and she wrapped everything and delivered it to my sister`s door! It was so easy, fun picking out the different bars, and I highly recommend the shampoo bar - I have been using it and it makes my hair feel wonderful. Thanks so much Julia, a.k.a. Maine Botanical Soaps!!”

“I am downright obsessed with these soap bars!! I have tried at least 5 different scents at this point and each one has been a new adventure for the senses. They are visually gorgeous, and the scent of each one is like a beautiful dance of natural and familiar aromas. Nothing cheap, perfumed or unnaturally dyed here folks! Time and effort has clearly been utilized in making these sudsy works of art. I promise you, it's an experience worth indulging in at a price you CANNOT beat for the quality. Looks and smells aside, they also do what no other soap bar has been able to do for me, and that’s make my skin feel like it’s been nourished AND cleaned, instead of striped and dried out. Not to mention these bars last a ridiculously long time! I have been working on the same bar for well over a month now and its still going. I could seriously go on forever about how amazing these soaps are, but I think you should just try them for yourself. You can thank me later.
I would also highly recommend the shampoo bars! All the same goodness as the regular soaps just with more hair-targeted ingredients.”
