Moose Bay Rum Shaving Soap [Review]

One of my favorite all natural products to try are soaps. There are so many different brands of natural soaps available now, even soaps specifically made for men! Natural soaps offer superior quality and leave your skin feeling clean, soft, and moisturized. Moose Bay Rum Shaving Soap is a classic combination of bay leaf and cinnamon spice with a hint of lime. The rich lather helps the razor glide across the skin. Bentonite clay and wheat germ oil protect the skin.

Rating: total green check marks out of 5.

The Good	The Not So Good
All natural ingredients	Contains Fragrance Oil (potentially toxic)
Great lather
Doesn't leave skin feeling dry

Moose Bay Rum Shaving Soap is specifically designed to be used for shaving. Although this soap is targeted at men, especially with the manly scents like bay leaf and cinnamon, I can see women using this soap for shaving their legs. The ingredients, especially Bentonite clay and wheat germ oil protect the skin and allow for a safe shave.

I have been using natural soap to shave for quite some time. I do like that the ingredients are selected specifically for protecting and moisturizing the skin for shaving. Let's look at the ingredients.

Moose Bay Rum Shaving Soap Ingredients
Saponified Oils of Olive, Coconut, Castor, Shea Butter, Bentonite Clay, Glycerine, Wheat Germ Oil, Fragrance Oil, Essential Oils, Tocopherol T-50 (Vitamin E), Rosemary Oleoresin (a natural antioxidant).

I love the simple ingredient list that is made from mostly natural ingredients. I would like to see the Moose Bay Rum Soap be made with 100% organic ingredients, or at least use 100% essential oils instead of Fragrance Oil.

Fragrance is rated as Highly Hazard by EWG's Skin Deep Database. I recommend avoiding this ingredient in any product. I will reach out to the company to get more information about the actual ingredients in their Fragrance Oil. Since they are marketing the product as a natural soap, then it should not have one of the most toxic ingredients in it.

Castor Oil is rated as 2 (Low Hazard), so I would try to limit my use of products with Castor Oil.

I do like that the preservative is a natural one (Tocopherol/Vitamin E and Rosemary Oleoresin).

Usage: Wet the soap and rub directly on the skin or on your hands and then on your skin. Let air dry in a soap dish.

Results: The soap lathered well and stayed somewhat lathered on the skin while my husband shaved his face. The smell was pleasant and not overpowering. A little soap went a long way and rinsed cleanly. My husband had a pleasant experience with the soap. He does not usually use soap to shave, but said that his experience with it was better than expected.

For the price point of Moose Bay Rum Shaving Soap, I would expect 100% natural, if not 100% organic ingredients. If Moose removes or substitutes Fragrance Oil, then I would recommend this shaving soap.

Morning Pep Almond Flour [Review]

Every few months, I dabble with vegan, gluten-free baking. Since I have been doing several elimination diets with my son to understand why he has outdoor allergies and was diagnosed with Reactive Airway Disease (aka child asthma), almond flour has become my new best friend. No only is almond flour great for gluten-free baking, it can add softness and moisture to make baked goods taste even more delicious. Morning Pep Blanched Almond Flour is made from non-GMO pasteurized skinless almonds that have been ground to a fine powder.

Morning Pep Blanched Almond Flour     
Rating: total green check marks out of 5.

The Good	The Not So Good
Made with non-GMO ingredients	Almonds are pasteurized
Plastic bag reseals well	Not Certified Organic
Finely ground

Morning Pep Almond Flour is a super fine grind, white flour made from pasteurized non-GMO skinless almonds. I like that the almonds are non-GMO, though I would prefer they were Certified Organic to ensure there are no pesticides or toxic chemicals sprayed on the plants. Since almonds grow in thick shells and the shells are removed during processing, any pesticides would be removed through during the processing.

I have been making almond flour myself by grinding dry roasted or raw almonds (skin on) in the food processor. I can usually get a pretty good almond meal, but it ends up being a coarse ground. For some baked goods, a fine almond flour is needed so that the texture does not change considerably. For baked items such as pastries, a blanched fine almond flour is required. For items like banana bread, a homemade almond meal can be used.

Usage: Almond Flour can be used in just about anything, from baked goods, to quick breads, to sauces and toppings for oatmeal and yogurt. I have primarily been using the Almond Flour to make healthy muffins and scones.

Results: For items that require a super fine texture, Morning Pep Almond Flour works very well. For items that have more of a coarse texture, like the scones I usually made, I prefer a homemade almond meal that is coarser in texture. Overall, I am very happy with the taste, the texture, and the resultant baked good.

Like mentioned above, I would love to see Morning Pep Almond Flour be made with Certified Organic almonds. In the mean time, I would purchase their product and would recommend it. I really like that it comes in a 2 lb (32 oz) bag and a big 5 lb (80 oz) bag. I did quite a bit of baking one weekend and almost went through the whole 5 lb bag.
