It foams up well even when using just your hands, but with a shower puff, you get an even thicker, more substantial lather, allowing you to use less product. It leaves you feeling squeaky clean. It seems to really draw out the skin's oils, so there's a bit of tightness after showering. This tightness is especially noticeable after washing your face, so I found it better for body use rather than facial cleansing. What I particularly loved was its effect on my back blemishes. I often get pimples on my back, so I usually choose body washes that target this issue. After using this soap, my back acne has almost completely cleared up. Even now, some time after showering, I'm writing this without having applied any body lotion, and I don't feel particularly tight or dry. I'd highly recommend this to anyone dealing with body acne.
ConsSince it's marketed as an all-in-one product, I tried it on my hair too. Not only did it make my hair very stiff, but even after blow-drying, the texture was so unpleasant that I gave up using it as a shampoo. If you have very dry skin, this might not be the best fit for you. It feels like it really strips away oil, so it could potentially make dry skin even drier. The scent is a bit off-putting. If you're sensitive to fragrances, you might not enjoy it.

(I packed a cleansing oil and a Gold Tree Soap for my trip, and they worked wonderfully.) - Unlike cleansers that leave your skin feeling tight after washing, this one contains various oils that keep your skin comfortable and hydrated without any deep dryness. - Often, handmade or natural soaps don't lather well, but this one produces a rich, creamy foam that makes cleansing and showering a pleasant experience. - It has a subtle citrus scent that's easy to use without any discomfort! - Lately, I've been getting small blemishes here and there, and this soap seems to have a soothing effect as well!
ConsIt's not really a downside, but when using it as a shampoo bar, it's best to use a conditioner along with it. Otherwise, your hair might feel a bit stiff.
TipI highly recommend Gold Tree Soap for those who frequently get body acne or blemishes! I've found that natural soaps work best for body blemishes (speaking from experience). Lather it up generously and wash in a massaging motion for best results.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe packaging isn't like typical soap in a box or tightly wrapped in plastic! The white surface is apparently a characteristic of fermented soap, which made it feel more trustworthy. It lathers well even without a foam net and has a pleasant scent. The fragrance is a subtle citrus aroma. I'm not entirely sure yet, but I felt like it slightly reduced my acne, which had been stressing me out. I'll update on this after using it more. I was worried the soap might leave my skin feeling tight, but contrary to my concerns, it left my skin feeling soft. It doesn't feel overly cleansing, so it was fine to use on my face.
ConsThe price and size are a bit daunting compared to regular soap. Being soap, it's disappointing to see it dissolve or wear down quickly. Although it's marketed as an all-in-one soap, it seemed to make my hair stiff, so it's probably best to avoid using it on the scalp.
TipWhen washing, I use it with a washcloth, which makes it wear down quickly - that's the only downside. (I just realized it says not to use a foam net... I'll stop using one from now on!) On makeup-free days, I use it on my face too!

I liked that the herbal scent wasn't overwhelming. Even with my super sensitive skin, the soap lathered up better than expected, making it easy to use for cleansing. It feels more solid than regular soap, so I think it'll last longer!
ConsBeing a bar soap, I felt like it stripped away some of my skin's moisture. And for a soap, it's a bit pricey. It left my hair feeling a bit stiff, so after trying it for a few days, I went back to my regular shampoo.
TipFor a richer lather, I recommend using a foaming net! This soap is probably better suited for summer use rather than winter.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsLather: The moment it touches water, it creates a soft, rich lather! Just a little rubbing produces an abundant foam, making it easy to use. Feel on skin: It leaves your skin feeling fresh and clean. I used it before my body wash, and it gave me an incredibly refreshed sensation. Compared to regular soap, it seems to cleanse more thoroughly. Oil removal: As someone with oily skin... I tend to have quite a bit of oil on my body too, but this seems to balance it out well. While I'll need to use it longer to see if it calms the bumpy texture on my skin, I'm satisfied so far.
ConsTightness: As much as it leaves the skin feeling clean, it can also feel a bit tight. You'll likely need to moisturize well after use. Scent: The fragrance is... really just a basic soap smell. It's the kind of scent that suggests it's focused on functionality. It's not unpleasant though.
TipMake sure to follow up with a good moisturizer!

It lathers up well I had used On The Body soap before, so I was worried it might not lather well based on that experience. But there's no need to worry! It produces plenty of suds with just a couple of rubs on a shower puff (even better if you add a bit of water while rubbing!). This means it'll likely last longer than expected. 2. The scent isn't overwhelming Probably due to the quality ingredients, it has a pleasant, natural fragrance. While some might enjoy a strong scent that lingers after showering, I personally prefer a subtle aroma during the shower itself! 3. Easy to store It doesn't take up much space, and when kept in a draining soap dish, it dries on its own. Plus, there's a small sense of satisfaction in reducing plastic use!
Cons1. Slightly tight feeling after washing There is that characteristic soap feeling of being less smooth and less hydrating. It might feel more intense now that the weather has suddenly turned cold, but you'll definitely need to apply body lotion all over right after showering.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAs someone with sensitive skin, I'm always on the lookout for products that mention 'soothing' in their description. So when I saw this soap labeled as a 'calming skin soap' with natural ingredients, I knew I had to try it! I wear makeup often and was a bit skeptical about switching from cleansing foam to soap, but I highly recommend it! It cleanses thoroughly, lathers up beautifully, and works wonders. It's great that the whole family can use it, regardless of skin type - whether you have acne-prone, oily, or dry skin. Plus, it's an all-over body soap too! Definitely a top pick for travel efficiency.
ConsAfter washing, you might feel like your skin is a bit tight due to how squeaky clean it feels. If you prefer a squeaky clean feeling over a slippery one after cleansing, this is highly recommended! It leaves your skin feeling fresh without causing deep dryness.
TipJust a little rubbing on a foam net creates an abundance of rich lather! The foam is dense, not airy, ensuring maximum cleansing effectiveness. The squeaky clean feeling is absolutely delightful!

I usually have dry skin, and even when I apply emulsion in summer after washing, my skin tends to show flaky dead skin cells the next day. However, after showering with Palm D'Way Gold Tree Soap, my skin feels incredibly clean. I was worried it might be drying, but surprisingly, despite its thorough cleansing, it left my skin feeling moisturized. When I applied my usual emulsion and woke up the next day, my dead skin cells were much less noticeable. Despite not containing artificial surfactants, a small amount creates rich, dense lather, making it great for cleansing. It also worked wonderfully with my sonic cleansing device, producing good foam and providing excellent cleansing power.
ConsIf you pay close attention, you might notice a slight laundry soap scent. When used as a body wash, those with dry or combination dehydrated skin might feel a slight tightness, but it doesn't actually cause dryness or irritation.
TipYou don't need to use a separate foam net with this product. Since it seems like it might dissolve quickly, I highly recommend placing it on a soap dish or drying rack after use.

The high-quality lather doesn't disappear quickly! Scent: As someone who personally prefers herbal and aromatic fragrances, I found this one pleasant - not too strong, and it leaves a subtle, barely-there scent after rinsing. Natural ingredients: Above all, it's a natural soap with beneficial ingredients, and it doesn't produce any plastic waste.
ConsPackaging: I was a bit surprised... It seems other people received theirs in glass jars, two at a time. Dryness: As someone with extremely dry skin, my face felt very dehydrated after use, similar to other cleansing soaps with strong cleansing effectiveness. Not ideal as shampoo: Although it's marketed as an all-in-one product, when I tried using it as shampoo, it was too stiff. It was difficult to work up a lather, and it didn't rinse out well. Even with conditioner, my scalp felt rigid and tangled, so I think I'll just use it as a body soap.

Two people at the pool shower room even asked what it was because it smelled so good! After feeding my pets, my hands usually have a strong pet food odor, but washing with this soap completely removed it! It feels a bit softer than regular soap, which I think is better than the typical bars that become hard and crack over time. I'm pleased that it doesn't seem to cause any blemishes on my face.
ConsUnfortunately, it left my hair, which is soaked in chlorine from swimming 5 times a week, feeling incredibly stiff. I didn't notice this stiffness when using it on my body, but I definitely felt it in my hair. It might be more noticeable because I have long, curly hair. I also felt a bit of dryness on my face. This could be because I couldn't apply emulsion right after swimming and showering. It's a bit slow to lather up, so it's not ideal for use at the pool. I'll use it for showers at home instead. It's disappointing because I thought one bar would be enough to take to the pool, but it's not quite suitable.
TipIt doesn't seem as hard as regular soap, so you'll need to make sure it dries well. I recommend using both a soap net and a soap case.
