Invigorating seaweed and lime soap
Features
- Awash from the sea: We use arame seaweed in our Sea Vegetable soap for its unusual texture. It also softens the skin as you lather.
- Seaweed absolute: We absolutely love the green, herbaceous and woody odor of seaweed absolute. It smells of seaweed drying on the beach after a heavy storm.
- Good for boys and girls: The scrubby, but softening texture, and the refreshing fragrance is great for the whole family. Not all at once though.

This was my first Lush purchase and I am so happy - lime and lavender are probably my two favorite scents, and I can smell them both in this. I would wear it as perfume, but then again I have odd taste in perfume. :) It cleans my skin without scrubbing and I never feel dry. I don't mind the hunks of seaweed. My only beef is that the scent doesn't linger, but that's not really Lush's fault - I just do not have porous skin. Nothing sticks to my skin or hair. Bummer! That won't stop me from trying, though.

I bought this soap for the benefits of the ingredients, the look, and the smell. I also wanted a long-lasting soap that would be good for a whole-body clean.
It has a great smell, lovely appearance, and because it's a harder soap, it lasts a long time (or rather, the soap layer lasts).
The down side of the long-lasting soap may be that it's really difficult to work up a lather or spread the soap around my body. I feel like I have to use the bar directly on my skin, but that's uncomfortable because of the coarse sea salt layer.
The salt layer is a great exfoliant on rough, thick skin, but it's a bit too irritating on sensitive skin. It also separates from the soap layers fairly easily.
Granted, if you don't want to find random bits of plant or mineral in your shower drain or bathtub, don't buy Lush products. They're stuffed with natural solid bits, and the buyer should expect some shedding.
I think I'll go back to Lush to buy a soap without an exfoliating layer that is a little bit softer. My showers will be faster by far.

Comments about LUSH Sea Vegetable:
I love the smell of this soap! I love the mix of lavender and lime with the little pieces of seaweed on top! I think the mix of purple and green in this soap is so pretty! The smell mixes perfectly with my favorite Twilight Shower Gel! The lavender in this soap makes for a very relaxing shower and the little pieces of seaweed on top of this soap make it just a tiny bit exfoliating, which is great for legs before shaving!
The only thing that I would change about this soap is that it is a little drying, I wish that Lush would make it a little bit more moisturizing.

Comments about LUSH Sea Vegetable:
I received this as a sample with another order and of course was immediately intrigued to use it. At first the smell seemed strange to me, and I was nervous to use it- but after lathering it up and smelling it on my skin I was in love! Surprising and wonderful are the best ways for me to describe it.

Comments about LUSH Sea Vegetable:
I absolutely love this soap! I have grown up by the beach & now that I am back at school there is no beach in sight. All I have to do is take a shower with this soap & I'm back at the beach in my shower! I love the smell. It is very invigorating. It does not lather as well as other lush soaps, but I still feel like I am getting clean when I use it.

Comments about LUSH Sea Vegetable:
When I first saw this bar on the website and saw the name of it, I thought that I would smell reminiscent of the sea, you know, because of the seaweed and sea salt. But it just smells like a citrus bar. I wish that it would smell more like the sea, more natural smelling. But that being said, I think it has a great scent, the lather is decent, and I wish it was a bit more moisturizing.

Comments about LUSH Sea Vegetable:
I love the smell of this product but I feel that the soap is disappearing twice as fast as before. Maybe I am not storing it in the optimal place, but I am not leaving it in a pool of water either. Overall the product is good, but being a college student I will try a new soap that has more bang for it's buck! :]

Comments about LUSH Sea Vegetable:
I'm in love with this soap. I think it's my favorite Lush bar soap. It looks amazing, smells great, and feels even better. It leaves my skin feeling clean, but not dried out. (I have oily, sensitive skin and any bit too much lather dries it out and then gets really oily.) My only problem is that the salt topping doesn't last as long as I'd like, and it comes off the rest of the soap too easily. The soap itself lasts a long time, though!

Comments about LUSH Sea Vegetable:
I bought this soap mainly because of the beach smell. I used this while I took a shower. It didn't lather well for me. It smelled great but when I got out of the bath my skin was very dry. All in all I am really disappointed in this product.

Comments about LUSH Sea Vegetable:
I just thought I didn't like the smell of this soap when I got it in a gift basket... so I took it to work to give it away and every person in my office gagged when they smelled it. It smells... rotten... no trace of lime, lavender, or anything clean at all.
I feel horrible that I threw away an expensive bar of soap but the smell was terrible.

Comments about LUSH Sea Vegetable:
It was my second time in Lush, and I decided it was time to buy one of their soaps, which I had never tried before. While all of the other soaps' scents made me feel queasy, Sea Veg was soothing and smelled like a fresh ocean breeze.At first I was little taken back by the price- I usually don't pay [$] for a bar of soap. But I decided, since it was from Lush, why not take a risk? BEST SOAP EVER. The picture on the website doesn't do this soap any justice. It's a rich, deep blue, like the ocean. And it smells AMAZING. After just one shower, my entire bathroom smelled like the beach. It moisturizes my skin and the top part is a great exfoliant. I don't know why everyone is complaining about it not lathering well. It worked just fine for me. Sea Veg is great!

Comments about LUSH Sea Vegetable:
I got this for free when I went to the latest LUSH party that was celebrating the release of the KA-POW gift last Saturday. It is now Monday, and I've made my conclusion. The smell is nice, clean, kinda like ocean salt, and I love Ocean Salt! But the later, oh gosh, the lather isn't even there! I like the top salt and seaweed bits, but the plain blue part of the soap doesn't lather unless I grind it into my knuckles. I understand that less lather usually means less oils escape the skin, BUT THIS HAD NONE AT ALL! Though, this is a very pretty soap and will keep it on my sink counter simply because it looks good and gives the bathroom a clean smell.

Comments about LUSH Sea Vegetable:
I had been curious about this soap for quite some time and now I wondered why I waited so long to give it a try! I love all things oceanic so this was right up my alley. The scent is lovely, slightly floral yet watery and clean. I really like the way this soap cleans my skin very well while leaving it soft and touchable. Since it's made with sea salt it really helped clean and heal a problem area on my skin. The bar lathers very well on my mesh body pouf and a little will go a long way. In fact, I bought this bar a couple months ago and there's still quite a bit left! I think I found another keeper!

Comments about LUSH Sea Vegetable:
I received this soap as a gift from my daughter. She knows I am a HUGE fan of Lush, and thought I would like the fragrance. Not only do I LOVE how it smells, it is so refreshing! On our 118F days, it makes me feel fresh and cool.
I've read a few reviews about Sea Vegetable saying the only the top crust is left after the soap whittles away. I use the soap part to lather up (of course!) and then use the top crust to scrub my elbows, knees, and butt. This had made the soap wear evenly.
I will purchase this soap for myself next time. It is great!

Comments about LUSH Sea Vegetable:
I bought a 5dollar bar of this soap because I was a bit weary at first. I am in LOVE with sultana but wanted something that lasted longer for showering purposes. I am so glad I decided to pick this up! The lime and lavender smell fresh but relaxing. I rub it on a loofah a few times and it makes a wonderful lather that easily covers my whole body as a wash. I usually use the salty side to exfoliate my rough parts a bit too. It's super hard and lasts a very long time as well. It's also really pretty. When it gets wet it gains this dark teal translucence to it. I will definitely keep my shower stocked with this!

Comments about LUSH Sea Vegetable:
I ordered this mostly because of the seaweed & lime aspects. When I opened the package, I thought it might have been a mistake to have ordered this...but, the more I kept sniffing, the more I liked it. When I bathed in it, I fell in love. It's mildly exfoliating, which I like, creates a silky lather, & smells like the ocean. After using Sea Vegetable, you feel clean & rejuvenated. :)

Comments about LUSH Sea Vegetable:
OMG! This soap smells dangerously good, and I always want to use it! I love rubbing it on my loofah to get the most out of it. It's the best soap I have ever used, makes you feel clean, isn't greasy, and I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT IT! I'll definitely buy more the next chance I get!

Comments about LUSH Sea Vegetable:
Trying this soap was a lesson in the amazing properties of seaweed. My skin loves this stuff! I use it with whatever soap or shower gel I'm using. It doesn't feel like it's going to do much moisturizing, but it does! It lathers for miles and will actually improve the texture of your skin. Not just make it feel soft or look bright and refreshed (because it totally does all that) but it will actually imrpove the texture of your skin. This soap is my true-blue buddy!

Comments about LUSH Sea Vegetable:
I bought this soap to use daily, and that's what it's great for. It has a fresh, light scent and works well for my mixed skin type. The soap lasted about a month with me using it 3-4 times a week. The only thing I didn't like was how it crumbled when it was down to just seaweed (but I expected that anyway). It is a bit messy with the seaweed breaking apart but it was definitely worth the money.
