It certainly looks like a winner! I do like that aluminium pot to house the soap but I suspect it will be quite expensive.

Classic ingredient list ... and then "Shea Butter". Bleurgh!

It is down there between Titanium Dioxide and Sodium Chloride, so the quantity is no doubt absolutely minimal ... to the point of being, well pointless? Aside from being able to say "with Shea Butter" on the packaging.

It's available as refill.
Connaught sells at £15.

It's the La Toja, with Shea Butter.
Solid base, with a twist of fragrance.

Yes, I was thinking that the aluminium pot and lid would be expensive, I was aware that the soap itself cost £15.00 from Connaught, thank you anyway.

On the spanish forum SCNHG, a friend pointed me about the factory.
Actually, is LEA. Not La Toja.
Just a detail.

Lea ... with a bit of Shea. Very interesting. Thanks for that @ischiapp

I’d rather just buy the LEA Classic at less than half price.

Yes. But it's different.
Different INCI (more sodium salts, harder).
Different fragrance (Sandalwood and Moss).

BTW, at about £6 it's a steal.

I’d rather buy MWF too.

This way leads to Arko.

Haha, no chance!
