OC Men – Bay Rum
/“Oh, See?”
Full name: OC Men Relaxing Aromatherapy Bay Rum Exfoliating Bar Soap. The box also says it’s vegan and cruelty free and crafted in CA and “Natural Ingredients.” What is “OC?” Orange County? Original Coalminer? Overrated Caregiver? No… in this case, Olivia Care. Who is Olivia? Olivia de Havilland? No… in this case, it refers to olive oil, a major ingredient in their products. The ingredients list is excellent—short, and I know what everything is. The one concerning mention is “fragrance”—and that’s because this is a “men’s” soap—and just from experience, those manly fragrances can cause you to break out, experience skin irritation, court migraines, or even be fooled into thinking there’s a dude invading your apartment. But not in this case! This one is nice. The exfoliation isn’t real efficient because it consists of coffee, ground up, but it’s not ground that fine—and some is quite chunky—but it’s still pleasing. This really does come off like a bay rum smelling coffee infused soap—which feels nice, too (olive oil and glycerin). It’s a good soap.
