Review – Mario Badescu's Seaweed Cleansing Soap

Mario Badescu Seaweed Cleansing Soap - Reviews | MakeupAlley

Like his Seaweed Cleansing Lotion, Mario Badescu’s Seaweed Cleansing Soap was something I picked up for my grandma to try. She has dry, aged, sensitive skin but wanted something that would effectively cleanse and refresh her skin. This cleanser was in the dry skin-type area, but is effective for any skin type. The great thing about this cleanser is that it has little micro-beads, so it is gently exfoiliating. It is packed full of great ingredients and is described as “mineral-rich” on Mario Badescu’s website.

This Seaweed Cleansing soap worked great for my grandma at removing her makeup (she wears barely any) and cleansing her skin beautifully. It is also soap free and rinses off easily so for grandma, this was also a plus.

The ingredients of this cleanser are: Deionized Water, Bladderwrack Extract, Stearic Acid, Propylene Glycol, Diperlargonate, Ammonium Laureth Sulfate, Polyglycerylmethacrylate, Seaweed Extract, Glyceril Isotearate, Lauramide DEA, Cetyl Alcohol, Triethanolamine, Quaternium-15, Imidazolydinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben. Now, a lot of these ingredients are a real mouthful to try to pronounce, which is typically unusual for Mario Badescu products–but grandma loves this cleanser. The Bladderwrack Extract is great for anti-aging and conditioning the skin. The Algae Extract is non pore-clogging and soothing, it also protects skin from irritation.

This great cleanser is available at retail beauty destinations like Ulta or directly through Mario Badescu’s website. Either way, the Seaweed Cleansing Soap is available in two sizes: 8 ounces for $12.00 and 16 ounces for $20.00. Grandma loved the Seaweed Cleansing Lotion so she bought the large size of this cleansing soap.So, if you are searching for your grandma, or for yourself–this Seaweed Cleansing Soap from Mario Badescu is a great, mild cleanser.
