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 Sea Vegetable Soap:
I absolutely love this soap! Probably my favorite solid soap so far. It smells great, and the gritty side makes a great scrubby feeling in the shower.

Comments about Sea Vegetable Soap:
My first time trying this soap. I have tried lathering it up onto my loofah and my body it has no lathering effect at all. I hardly could smell the lime and lavender, odd because lavender has a strong smell.
Pros: pretty colors of blue and green with the interesting seaweed texture being a Pisces girl it won me over.
The seaweed is nice on the one side for exfoliating.
I think this soap could have potential to be improved with some experiments.
I miss SnowCake soap!

Comments about Sea Vegetable Soap:
I got this as a gift and liked the smell immediately. After some use I've come to see this as a wonderful daily use soap because the smell isn't too strong or conflict with my other Lush products. I love the scrubby side of the bar to keep dead skin at bay while not being harsh on my very sensitive skin.

Comments about Sea Vegetable Soap:
I have horrible scent allergies, and so I don't say this lightly: this soap smells great. Normally I avoid scented products like they're on fire, but the weird and mild ocean scent of this bar soap is great, and leaves me feeling fresh and clean. I use the scratchy seaweed to exfoliate and the lower half to wash my body and I always come out feeling more awake and clean than before.
This is without a doubt my favorite Lush product, and when my bar runs out I will buy another one. It's eerily beautiful and brings me to memories of nicer, less wintery places.
I can see how it might be a bit drying for someone with already dry skin but I'm naturally oily and find that it helps nicely to clean up.
Sea Vegetable is a wonderfully refreshing soap and it's mild enough that I don't smell it all day. It got me loving fancy looking bar soap, and really turned me on to the idea of salt in other products.
If you daydream about beaches this might be the soap for you.

Comments about Sea Vegetable Soap:
This is a very nice soap. It lathers about the same as all lush soaps, which is not that great. It smells lovely; refreshing, and ocean-like! The color is nice, and it is very pretty. My only dislike of this soap is that the smell doesn't linger after use.

Comments about Sea Vegetable Soap:
I love, love this soap!! This soap smells fresh and helps soothe my dry, sensitive, itchy skin.
If you really like a lot of lather, rub the soap on a wet shower scrunchie and you will get loads of bubbles.
Someone else mentioned a Sea Vegetable fragrance. You have my vote!

Comments about Sea Vegetable Soap:
This soap smells WONDERFUL!!! It is okay at lathering and good at exfoliating because of the salt and seaweed inside the bar.

Comments about Sea Vegetable Soap:
I saw this soap in the store, and I just had to have it. I loved the smell and the look of it. I use it just about everyday, and there's still plenty left.The smell is heavenly, and when I run out, I'll definitely buy this again!

I love this soap. It's great for in the shower, or in the tub. I especially enjoy that the seaweed and the soap stay together, it doesn't break off like Sultana does. It's very relaxing and exfoliating!

Comments about Sea Vegetable Soap:
I brought this soap home for my beach-loving boyfriend and he absolutely loved it. He loves lemon and lime scents, so I definetly felt the lime scent was "masculine" enough for his taste. He used it with the Big Blue Bath Bomb, so he was in absolute heaven in his relaxing ocean-tub. Once the soap gets thin, it even looks just like sea glass! I can't wait to surprise him with more ocean themed Lush products.

Comments about Sea Vegetable Soap:
This is by far my favorite Lush product! I am very fond of active ocean activities such as scuba diving, surfing, and fishing. Being away from the ocean for long periods of time puts a damper on my life, but being I found the perfect soap that brings me back to "life". It most certainly reminds me of coming out of the saltwater, yet without leaving a sticky residue on my skin afterwards. It has a zing to it, quite lemony in smell. I don't smell the lavender very much, but that's totally OK (even being a fan of lavender)! It lasts considerably long unlike Snowcake and Sandstone. I learned to cut my soaps in halves, wrap them in wax paper, and store them in a plastic container for future use. Quick TIP: Sea-Vegetable cleans the nasty fish smell lingering on hands after a good day out on the water.

Comments about Sea Vegetable Soap:
Bought it because it was pretty. It smells nice, like Nova Scotia. BUT: it burns if you get it in your eyes or cuts. Use as hand soap, not a bath soap. Pairs nicely with my bathroom decore. Will continue to buy for that reason.

Comments about Sea Vegetable Soap:
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 Sea Vegetable Soap:
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 Sea Vegetable Soap:
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 Sea Vegetable Soap:
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 Sea Vegetable Soap:
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! :]
