The Somerset Toiletry Company Verbena Collection | Review

*AD – the items in this review were gifted to our household for this post. All opinions, as always, are our own.

When it comes to bathroom products like soaps and hand wash, it’s much better to know exactly what is going into the product, to understand what is going into your skin and influencing your body. The Somerset Toiletry Company provides luxurious products, while also being honest about the ingredients that are in these products. They aim to use natural extracts and have lines that are completely paraben and SLS free. All of their items are in-house tested, and are free from animal cruelty, so much so, that they do not sell into China as they do not want to risk any animal cruelty as a result. To top things off, their brand is inspired by their British heritage, coming from the beautiful countryside, where their head office is located.

The Somerset Toiletry Company has a huge collection of Verbena scented products, as apart of their Naturally European collection – which is completely paraben and SLS free, as previously mentioned. I got the chance to check out three items from this selection to see what our household thought of them! Now, if you don’t know what verbena smells like, it’s more of a grassy, lemon smell – feeling natural instead of like cleaning liquid that is lemon scented. It’s a lovely smell that isn’t too overwhelming.

Naturally European Verbena Hand Wash

The Naturally European Verbena Hand Wash, firstly, is quite a large bottle! At 500 ml, I am sure this bottle will last even the busiest bathrooms quite some time. Like most liquid hand washes, this one allows you to press down on the top to get an ideal amount, to wash your hands with. It is slightly foamy, the scent stays on your hands for a reasonable amount of time, and it does a great job of cleaning. This product is also vegan and the formulation is registered by The Vegan Society – which is a big plus when it comes to thinking about the wider world.

Naturally European Verbena Soap Bar

If you are more of a bar soap person, the Naturally European Verbena Soap Bar might be better for you then the hand wash. We are not a bar soap household ourselves, but often have a bar in our downstairs bathroom, for those that prefer them when visiting. This bar came in a very beautiful package, wrapped in the prettiest paper I have ever seen! Unwrapping it felt like opening a gift. The bar is quite thick and is in a square, with some beautiful embodiment on it, telling you the brand and scent. This bar soap is used as you would a normal bar soap, and once again, the scent is there and holds to your hands slightly. Like the previous item, this product is vegan and the formulation is registered by The Vegan Society to ensure this.

Naturally European Verbena Hand Cream

The last item we took a look at from this collection is the Naturally European Verbena Hand Cream – and who doesn’t always look out for some lovely hand creams! This cream is quite a thick and luxurous feeling cream, which is a bit more scented then the soaps. As it is thick, you don’t need a whole lot of it to cover and massage into your skin – meaning the cream will last quite some time, even with daily use. Once you have the hand cream on your hands, you will feel it, but it’s not greasy feeling either. Once again, this item is vegan and the formulation is registered by The Vegan Society.

The Somerset Toiletry Company is a brand with some very good mission points, and their products do feel like luxury, while coming in at reasonable prices, which is always good. You can use code JUPITER15 at checkout for a discount.
