Karma is a classic Lush smell. It smells exactly how you’d expect a hippy dippy handmade cosmetics shop to, and it’s absolutely wonderful. The piece in my photo is very well loved, and a brand new slice of this stuff is a beautiful deep red, cut from a ring shape that features various “steps” on it’s surface, so your wedge is likely to feature 2 levels, making it much more interesting than your standard block of soap. I promise to add new photos once I’ve repurchased this, because it is most definitely a staple in my stash.

The scent of Karma is absolutely beautiful. Lemongrass, Elemi, and sweet orange oil give it a bright, zingy scent, while sandalwood is comforting and warm. Pine oil comes through to give the soap a clean scent, and makes it suitable for any time of year. I do find this bright and fresh enough to use in the warmer months, and comforting and complex enough for the fall and winter as well. It’s a lovely flexible fragrance.

This soap lathers incredibly well, and also works to nourish the skin a lot better than many others I have tried, from lush and other brands. It produces a lot of foam, but the rapeseed and coconut oils offer a gentle, creamy lather that is wonderfully nourishing. I have even used this soap in place of a shaving cream, in a pinch, and not had any problems with stinging, irritation, or any unpleasantness. It helped my razor glide very smoothly.

This is a beautiful soap, that works wonderfully. Even though I generally prefer shower gels, I will always come back to this
