My review :
When one is an eczema sufferer, you’ll find yourself willing to try out just about anything to stop that itch!
I first read about Yuan handmade organic soaps on MyWomenStuff.com and immediately thought of trying it out since it was reputed to help eczema sufferers. But as it was not easily locatable at that point of time (only at selected organic standalone shops), I did not go searching for it. However, I was pleased to find a whole selection of Yuan soap being sold at BodyBar on one of my forays to Tropicana City Mall.
Originally I intended to get the Wild Patchouli soap as I had read a blogger review on this particular soap that said that it gave relief to someone with hand eczema. However, Noor, the sales assistant at BodyBar, introduced the Purple Gromwell & Roselle soap to me instead, mentioning that it had helped other customers with eczema. So that’s what I purchased instead.
Firstly, if you’re not used to traditional Chinese herbal medicine, be forewarned that the Yuan soaps give off a very strong herbal smell which lingers in the bathroom after you’ve finished your bath/shower. However, I like the smell, so it doesn’t bother me at all. Using this soap in the shower, I find that it doesn’t lather up like the normal varieties of soap, which is a plus point in my opinion. Also, it left my skin feeling clean but not tight, although I did feel that it dried out my skin more than my regular dermatologist recommended Oilatum or Eubos cleansing liquid. All those were plus points for me.
However, there was just one thing that bugged me about using Yuan soap. Technically the soap variety that I bought – Purple Gromwell & Roselle – was supposed to help with eczema problems. How did that work out for me? Not too well. I found that using the soap tended to aggravate my skin after my shower, leaving me with a strong burning/itching sensation at the areas where my skin was affected with eczema. It was totally not the kind of reaction I had expected. The burning/itching sensation would start the moment I applied the soap and lasted for up to 30 minutes after I’d stepped out of the shower. Not even applying my normal moisturizing lotion immediately could halt the burn/itch. I did find with some experimentation, that showering with hot/warm water increased the sensations whilst cool/cold water helped to calm down the skin somewhat (but still with the burn/itch sensation). Despite the irritant factor, it might be helpful to note that at all times, my skin did not become inflamed (red) nor did my eczema grow worse, just that there is the discomfort of an underlying sensation of burning/itching. Some might say that it is an indication of the healing properties of the soap at work, but I personally feel that my skin is not suited to the soap.
If Yuan soaps work for you, that’s great, but for me, the search for a compatible product goes on.
Yes factors : Unique selling point, herbal smell, all natural ingredients
No factors : Quite pricey, not easy to find, herbal smell, may irritate sensitive skin

too bad it didnt work out well for u.
i have been thinking about this soap, but i was held back due to the fact that i can’t stick to using a soap faithfully.
rinnah says : Yeah, and I was really hoping it would work for me…
sorry to hear it didn’t work out for you…personally, I prefer liquid soaps to solid – lazy way out I guess…hehe…
rinnah says : I actually prefer liquid soaps too! Pump and go… no mess to clean up. Hehe…
Hopefully you can give it wild patchouli, sage or mugwort a try for your eczema.
rinnah says : Maybe I might, but when my skin is better… thanks for stopping by!
wow I have not seen this soap before, thanks for sharing review. By the way there is a contest at my blog, have a look.
rinnah says : Thanks for stopping by, TH! I shall be sure to check out your blog.
hmmm. I actually thought the mugwort was better for eczema la… that’s the one i tried and it did help, at least it definitely did not irritate…
rinnah says : Maybe my skin is just too sensitive gua…
