The Skinny

By Tonie Silver



I just had to see for myself what all the
hoopla about Skinny Skinny was about.

First of all there’s that name: how cute is
that?  Just say it out loud to yourself three
times fast.    Katie at Skinny Skinny broke it
down for me~ it’s Skin-New York- get it?  Too
cute!

Ingredients~ check~ all organic.

The packaging is dear and charming.  The
colors are pastel, there are flowers strewn
about the labels, and the soaps are wrapped
in what look to be magazine pages~ clever!  
The labels are removable, but, I ask you, who
would want to?

Readers will remember that I am so not a fan
of the mint.  When I tried Skinny Skinny’s
Lime& Mint Soap I was like “oy”, but what a
pleasant surprise!  That lime kicks in and
delivers a refreshing little pow!  These soaps
are like a good man: nice and hard, and
long lasting.  The Jasmine & Green Tea
echoes the scent of the body oil, and the
Rose & Almond is soothing, smoothing, and
a bit scrubby with ground almonds and
oatmeal.  Rose geranium essential oil lightly
fragrances this gentle, soothing bar.

The Jasmine and Green Tea Body Oil is
super.  Light, unobtrusive fragrance, lots
and lots of moisture.  Really smells like
jasmine and green tea.  I really like the
blend of oils in this product: jojoba,
hempseed, rosehip, sesame, and borage!  The
jojoba is infused with chamomile, lavender,
rose, and calendula, which adds an
underlying layer of fragrance that is so nice
and sweet.  Extra points here for the cool
glass bottle with a pump top.  Highly
recommended.

The Lip Balms are packaged in colors I’ve
never seen used before~ pastel blue and
green~ me likee.  A base of cocoa butter,
beeswax, coconut, olive, and avocado oils,
and honey make for a long lasting balm that
feels nice on lips.  Organic Bare Naked Lip
Balm is cocoa buttery, thick, and rich, with
avocado oil and honey.  Very soothing, and
really stays on. Tea Tree & Mint~ kinda
zippy, cool, and refreshing.

Skinny Skinny is a pleasure to use.
