Camamu Soap

I’m 34 years old and have suffered from acne all my life, until I started using camamu’s black beauty soap. This stuff is the real deal.

Ok so a guy is going to review soap so here goes.
It works…
I cannot name all the names or even the ingredients but its all natural soap and they do a great job. My hair and skin feels clean and not like it just had a layer stripped off.
I recommend this place as a great idea for gifts and they also have a seconds bin at a cheaper price (for home). Talk to the lady there (really nice) and ask about the different products and she will hook you up. Seriously, I bought $ 50 bucks worth, not going back to store bought soap or hair shampoo products if I can help it anytime soon.

Great place. Worth stopping in just to sniff around. The regular soaps are priced a little lower here than in supermarkets. And you can get seconds at even lower prices. Only problem I’ve had is they are not always open all the way to 6 p.m., even though their hours say they are. So call first if you’re trying to go in late afternoon.

I visited Camamu Soap for the first time two weekends ago. The big red barn was really cool for a workplace and when I walked in it smelled soooooooooooooooo good! First we had to smell everything and I asked lots of questions. I found out that they use *gluten-​free oats* and they had some really good citrus-​free soaps. I ended up buying two special edition soaps: Peace and Love (I think… that was a gift and it’s gone now making a friend in Eugene very clean!), and Polka Patchouli Soap in a box.
I also bought:
* Green Goddess Soap
* Black Beauty Soap
* Soothing Sauna Soap
* Rosehip Mint Soap
I also looked at their lotions but it seemed they all (or at least the ones I looked at) had some form of citrus product in them. :-(
Still…six bars of soap for $ 38 is great! The woman who worked there was very friendly, helpful, and had great energy. When I am back in Portland, needing more soap (or not!), I will definitely be back!

I Unilocaled soap shops in Portland and this place popped up on my radar.
I’m glad that I stopped in.
The ladies working were helpful and let me look on my own without hovering.
I made sure to read the ingredients on the back of each soap/​shampoo that I planned on buying (I like to be 100% sure that my body won’t have a bad reaction).
I was surprised at how each soap listed everything and was so natural.
It’s a big relief for me.
I purchased a neem oil shampoo bar drawn in by the fact that it helps with dandruff and that it helps with keeping bugs away (I was exploring in forests).
Being a dreadhead, I cannot express my happiness enough.
There’s a bunch of great oils in this specific shampoo bar that makes my dreads feel soft, cleans them, and protects them.
I’m a BIG FAN.
The fact that this shampoo bar does not smell solely like neem oil (it smells of tea tree and peppermint), I love it even more.
I will highly consider finding ways to have this shampoo bar shipped to me.
The See The Forest soap I bought to gently exfoliate my skin is also wonderful.
I wish I lived closer to this shop.

My husband bought the neem bar shampoo when our kids brought home bugs from school. My first experience with a poo bar and OMG my hair feels amazing. I’m hooked. No bugs and gorgeous hair too. Will be purchasing more and great service too. Thanks Ladies!

the soaps at camamu are wonderful! the texture is nice and they are very moisturizing. i like earthy scents so these are perfect for me. there is a nice variety and even a few that contain crystal essence. worth the 5 – 6 dollars a bar. the only thing that put me off was buyng from the shop (headquarters) on clinton. if you dont already know what you want, it will be next to impossible to smell the varieties there. the shop is overwhelmingly fragrant! look online, read the descriptions, and have a few in mind before you go. OR buy from a retailer. i like «see the forest» and «queen bee»

I love this soap, especially the bar shampoo. The shampoo smells nice and earthy and it lathers just like normal shampoo to leave your hair shiny, clean, and fresh– that is, if you use a decent sized amount of it, no scrimping!
All in all, great stuff.
I buy it from Rainbow Remedies in Seattle, so I can’t speak to anything aside from the product. The website claims to have an online ordering system in the works, which would be great.

Amazing soaps, great for sensitive skin. Simple ingredients from the Earth. Makes great gifts for anyone (especially my Mom.) Oh, they have handmade shaving soap, too, which is nice for the straight-​razor-​usin’ crowd.
