Iris (27 years old, Cavite)

Hi Darlene,

As of press time, I am on my fourth bar of BY NATURE Handmade Soaps. And all I can say is that we (Yona and I) are really satisfied with the results! A month ago, Yona and I developed Keratosis pilaris, or ‘chicken skin’. Ours was just mild, just rough, bumpy skin with no irritation, just above our left knee. Yes, sabay kami nagkaroon and I just discovered that KP is tied to genetics. I bought Burt's Bees products at first. It worked well on her but burnt my wallet badly so I tried browsing the net for all natural products that we can use. I

found your site and knew right then and there that I needed to try your products! I decided then that I wanted to re-sell it but had to try it first on our skin. Lo and behold, I got hooked! After 2 day of using Baby Blue on Yona I noticed that the rashes on her skin diminished. With continued use, it totally erased the unsightly rashes on her knee. I used it too, and the rashes were totally gone long before we consumed the entire soap.

Right now she’s using Strawberry Milkshake and she’s perfectly enjoying bath time! “Hmmm, mommy, I smey like strawbeye!” Me? I’m using a bar of Just Tea Tree. I take pleasure in the rubi-dub-dub feeling of using the bar!

I take pride in using these soaps as we’re not just saving the environment but we’re also helping PAWS by buying the Charitable Handmade Soaps.

More power BY NATURE Handmade Soaps!

BY NATURE says:  Thanks so much for sharing about your Keratosis pilaris, Iris, and how BY NATURE Handmade Soaps helped your skin condition!  I’m so, so glad that Baby Blue was able to help remove the unsightly chicken skin on both your daughter’s and your knees.  Now the two of you can flaunt your smoother skin!   Thanks, too, for supporting my Charitable Handmade Soaps to help PAWS!  I truly appreciate it!

Chiara (28 years old, Quezon City)

Hi Darlene, this is Chiara Montaner...we met in the 2nd Sunday Souk at Rockwell, I was the pregnant girl with allergies and mad pimples all over my face hehehe! I just wanted to let you know that I LOVE your soaps! I actually ended up giving birth two days after the Souk, and it's a good thing I packed my Baby Blue bar and my Cocoa Butter Melt and Milkenhoney bars in my hospital bag. In a few days the allergies on my face cleared up and my pimples started healing, so at least I didn't look too scary when guests came to visit.

The Cocoa Butter Melt and Milkenhoney came in handy since I wasn't in the mood to be slathering lotions on myself so soon after my c/s (it was heaven taking that first bath in the hospital!!!) and my skin felt so clean and moisturized after.

Now that my baby's here, I have even less time for bathing and no time to apply lotion and anti-stretch mark creams...but I find that just using the bars while bathing are enough to moisturize my skin (the Olive Beauty bar is super great, am planning to use this on my son too) the whole day. LOVE IT!!!

Have I gushed enough? hehehe! thanks again and I hope you continue making more variants I can get addicted to! :)

BY NATURE says:  Congratulations once again, Chiara!  Good thing you were able to pack my handmade soaps in your hospital bag, just in time before giving birth!   Don't worry, with regular use of BY NATURE Handmade Soaps, you won't have to put lotion anymore and your skin will still stay moisturized.  I'm happy for your baby that you were able to use Olive Beauty on him.  Totally waaaaay better and safer than using the regular baby products given by the hospitals.  If only I had come up with that bar before I gave birth to our eldest son...

Hi Darlene, I just love your soaps. You were absolutely correct regarding the Strawberry Milkshake. I love the smell and it keeps my skin clean and moisturized. It was the 1st bar that I opened from the stash I bought from Alex. I have now been using it for around 2 months. I just came back from a facial and the technician who attended to me asked me my daily regimen because I had very little whiteheads/blackheads considering I have not been attending her sessions regularly. Of course I promoted your soaps. Hehe. Btw, I just opened the Icy Choco. It's perfect for the summer. Keeps me cool in this very HOT weather. More power. Happy to see that you have a reseller now in Makati and very near my office. I will definitely buy more soaps once I finish the lot that I bought!

BY NATURE says:  Thanks so much, Bless! I'm happy you're enjoying BY NATURE Handmade Soaps!  Glad you took my word on the Strawberry Milkshake, hehe!  The minty variants are fast-moving this summer.  Don't they just leave your skin feeling cool after every bath?!  Thanks, btw, for promoting my handmade soaps to the facial place you go to!  Hope to see you again one of these days

Cristine (Baguio City) - RESELLER

I THOUGHT IT'LL LAST LONG IN THE SHOWER?!!... WELL, IT DOESN'T!!! ... Of course it doesn't... because I enjoy my Utter Bliss so much, I have all the excuses and reasons just so I could lather up every so often; I re-soap after my supposed final rinse in the shower because I love the scent so much; I wash my hands with the soap after I wash the dishes even when my hands are clean...to moisturize; I wash my hands before I play with my baby niece (instead of using alcohol, which dries up my skin), etc, etc. I enjoy it so much I'm tempted to try the other variants that I have, but will power controls me from doing so... until this morning when I couldn’t' help it anymore.

I had to try the Baby Blue. And... I love it! It has a very mild scent and is a mild scrub as well. Oh well, so much of will power. hehehe! :D Anyway, the first time I learned of BY NATURE Handmade Soaps, I knew it was a good product. I felt honesty and sincerity in Darlene's info on her site so I thought I had to try it for myself. No regrets. My mom's using the Utter Bliss and she loves it, too.

Oh! Here's another story from a friend who tried Strawberry Milkshake and Choco Latte. She said since she started using her soaps, she's been addicted to them and her puppy, Ginger, licks her feet as soon as she comes out of the shower! hahaha! Ginger obviously enjoys the scent, plus the fact that they have a keener sense of smell; she knows it really smells nice or maybe even thinks it is actually food. hehehe... Yes that, and thinking about it, maybe that's Ginger's testimonial that BY NATURE Handmade Soaps were not tested on animals. CHEERS!!!

BY NATURE says:  I also love Utter Bliss' scent!  It smells so invigorating and fresh!  Just like you're in a spa   I also agree with you that using the handmade soaps everyday, as often as possible, makes the hands feel softer than usual.  I used to have rough and dry hands but since I started making my handmade soaps, they have become softer and smoother.  Tell your friend that she can also use BY NATURE Handmade Soaps on Ginger to keep her hair soft and to stay away from chemical-filled dog soaps or shampoos.

Soft Heels Without the Effort

Before I was into BY NATURE Handmade Soaps, I was worrying about my heels. They were becoming dry and were cracking, I think, coz they felt sore. I scrubbed it often and put lotion or petroleum jelly, but they were still the same. … Then came BY NATURE Handmade Soaps. I looked forward to every bath time. Then one day, I noticed that my heels were already soft. I actually forgot about it and forgot worrying about it. Thank you BY NATURE Handmade Soaps! . .

Feel fresh with Green Tea Escape

I love fresh scents that’s why I really enjoyed Green Tea Escape so much that it did not last long in the shower. I used it often (more than often pala) to feel refreshed and squeaky clean. One of my buyers (Ms. Lou) just re-ordered and bought another Green Tea Escape because she fell in love with it. She said it smelled good and it compliments her Elizabeth Arden Green Tea perfume. :p . .

I'm Sooooo Loving my NEW Citrus White!

I texted Ms. Darlene last night telling her that I really like the Citrus White… I never tried Citrus White before kasi every time I have stock, they were bought right away. It was ok though, since I had other variants to choose from. But just recently, with my last order, Ms. Darlene informed me that the ones that I have are the new bars with a new formula: loaded with more goat’s milk and thus are more moisturizing. Intrigued, I had to finally try it for myself… and it’s now my new favorite! Hahaha! I’m morena but I’m not really into whitening products, but give me anything fresh-scented and I will definitely try it. I’m soooooo loving my NEW Citrus White! It gives me more than just the fresh scent that I wanted coz it is truly creamy on the skin when lathered and is a whitening soap to begin with. I might consider using a whitening product after all… :p I feel like a 1st-time user… sobrang excited.
