There are not enough stars for Buff City Soap!
Before moving back home to NC, my sister had told me about the new place she started getting her laundry care items from. And the funny thing was, the first thing she got from here (as a gift) was a candle! She loved the scent so much that she came back for more, which is when she discovered everything else they have.
Buff City Soap's products are plant-based -- no chemical junk here. They sell laundry care items, soaps, candles, lotions, body butter, body scrubs, and oils. We use their laundry care products: a liquid clothes detergent, the smell-good scent booster "flakes" (a good-for-you version of something like the Downy Beads), and their scented dryer balls. My sister gets all of this in the White Jasmine scent.
Once I smelled my clothes, I fell in love. (And YES, this stuff cleans your clothes just as well as anything you'd get from the grocery store, but it's better for you!) When I went to the Greenville store to restock, I bought their body lotion and scrub in White Jasmine as well. On our most recent trip, I also got the body scrub in Sandalwood. I love the lotion and the scrub! The scent smells great and it's not overpowering.
This store is extremely well organized. Some products are already ready to go, meaning they're already scented with some of their most popular and best-selling scents. You can stop by the tester and smell all of their available scents. Want something else? Just grab the 'starter' (scrub, etc.) and take it to the counter -- they'll make it for you with your chosen scent.
Another cool thing is that you take the containers BACK to the store when you run out, and they refill them for you! This really cuts down on waste. We keep our laundry bottles, wash "bead" bottles, and dryer balls in a bag in the laundry room ready to go when it's time for refills. Note: they don't do this with the body scrub containers.
You can also have parties here -- on my first visit here they'd just had a bridesmaids' party over the weekend. You can also do kids parties, like making bath bombs.
Highly, highly recommend Buff City Soap for your skin and laundry care needs! read more
