Figs and Leaves Soap

Fig-uratively speaking, don't leave without it.

3.5 oz.
$7.60
Qty:

This product does not contain animal
products of any kind.

Fig decoction

A decoction of figs gives a sweet scent and contains little brown seeds that exfoliate the skin.


Sweet, delicious figs.

Serve your skin some nutritious figs. Figs are wonderfully nutritious and good for your body, and their little brown seeds will exfoliate the skin. But it's the scent of this soap that draws you in: floral, with an undertone of eastern exoticism.

The orange blossom and ylang ylang fragrance was inspired by the aunt of one of our inventors, but that doesn't mean it's old hat! This understated soap is one of our sexiest.

Aloe vera extract

An extract of aloe vera is dark brown and has soothing properties.

I have problem skin, and over the years have sought every solution out there, including very expensive lazer peels on my upper arms, face and chest. The skin on my arms is scaly and prone to breakouts. I live in a desert environemnt which intensifies the problem and forces me to carefully manage combination skin.

After testing several soaps by Lush I have found Figs and Leaves to be a perfectly balanced soap: the seeds provide the perfect amount of exfoliation, and the aloe soothes afterwards.

Those who say it is too rough could try a less abrasive soap. Perhaps Lush could consider a second soap without the seeds?

The smell is fine, I barely notice it. The lather is light, but I'm happy with it. I just want to exfoliate, clean, moisturize.

I use the soap in the shower. No drain problems.I only use the tub for soaking, and for that I use Bath Bombs. Using soaps ( any ) in the tub leave unwanted residue on the skin.
I wish I had known of Lush's existence before those painful treatments.

Yes, all the soaps melt fast.
Yes, there are little organic bits of things that may float around the sink, tub, or shower.
We love these products because they are natural, and not over-processed. I prefer to live with the bits rather than put chemicals on my skin from drug store products.
I never had a drain clog.

I like this soap and I hate this soap. The fig seeds feel really good on the skin but that is so much stuff mixed into the soap it's hard to tell where the fruit/leaves and the soap begins. So I started using it on my son when he takes a bath and that was when I realized the soap lasts forever. I would let it soak in his bath water the entire time he was in there, 20 or so minutes, and the soap didn't dissolve that much. That's when I started to like it. To sum this up, if you need to exfoliate, the seeds feel wonderful. If you want a soap that never dissolves this is the one for you. If you don't what to have to pick fruit and leaves out of your drain don't bother with this one.

    Right to the point: It smells awesome, it makes my skin feel good and the seeds in it offers a bit for exfoliating. It doesn't do much in the way of lather, but what can you do? The smell of it is so nice, I'm tempted to take a bite. I love figs and this soap is a good way for me to indulge in them.

    Saw this in store and was immediately attracted. Figs and leaves? How interesting! It smells good, although it does not have a very strong scent. With any kind of bar of soap, it gives that feeling you just cant wash it off. It does have a great exfoliating side though. All in all, a good buy :)

          This product is WONDERFUL. I have very sensitive skin, and fragrances, even natural ones, can cause me to break out. This soap cleans, smells wonderful, and works on sensitive skin. It is by far my favorite lush scent and product. I am kinda glad that it isn't more popular because then it might be sold out on the website. I am no where near a lush store, so I am thankful for its ready availability.

            I came across this soap by accident while I was stacking up on my regular Lush supplies. I could not believe the pleasant and elegant smell. I love the smooth lather and how the skin stays fresh and yet hydrated after using it. I found that for me it works really well with evening showers, because of the almost aromatherapeutic smell and the warm cozy nice feeling that it leaves.

            Yes it's sweet smelling and you can tell there's aloe in it with its slipperiness, which is nice, but it's not a fragrance I particularly like. I'd like a little more fruit or even more spice. It's so darn mild. It's not like horrid smelling; it's just not piquant enough. Other components of the soap are fine. The seeds are not that big. It's not that messy. It seems to be moisturizing. It's not a strong fragrance, or long lasting.

              This soap has a lovely, lovely scent, which is why I bought it in the first place. I was so pleasantly surprised when it was also extremely moisturizing, and made my semi-acne prone skin clear up and feel amazing. I'm guessing it's the aloe vera in it- that stuff heals skin like nothing else. I can't live without this soap!

                I was surprised by the creamy texture of this soap. The fig seeds are just slightly abrasive for gentle exfoliation. I love the fig smell, it's very subtle and neutral but pleasant. The bar is also very pretty in my shower. The leaves do fall off of the bar within a few uses, though.

                  I'd planned on purchasing something else, but I loved the smell of this soap so much that I got it to use on my mini vacation. It didn't lather very well so I decided to use it on my face. I was surprised to see that after a couple of days my skin looked great. It was smooth and glowing and I hadn't noticed until one morning I was getting ready to go to the gym and I had to do a double take when looking at my face.

                  I don't have a problem with the seeds being to harsh on my skin since I only go over my face once then massage with my fingers.

                  Love it!

Amongst the bright pink exciting soaps, this one is often over looked and it needs to shine!! Figs and Leaves smells like Thanksgiving dessert and the lather is nothing short of creamy buttery heaven. The little fig seeds were incredible for my blemish prone skin but not too exfoliating. This is easily my favorite soap. SO YUMMY

                  I bought this because fig scents are usually my all-time favorite scents. This smells good, but not really figgy. Maybe the orange blossom overpowers it? Really I can't detect one scent, other than it does smell very clean. This soap is creamy and lathers well. The fig leaves don't seem to do anything, but make a slightly messy shower. I like the exfoliating seeds, but have to be careful or they will scratch my skin something fierce! Ow.

                  I got this as a sample in my shipment and have used to twice so far, once with shower gloves and again directly on my skin. The smell is rather unappealing and it doesn't lather well at all. Pretty sure this is one of those soaps that just does not play well with hard water. On the good side, the nubby seeds feel pretty awesome and it did make my skin feel lovely and soft once I dried off. If you don't mind lackluster lather and the figgy smell, this isn't a bad product. Not fabulous, but not bad either.

                      I use this primarily as a shower soap but save it for days when I want a shower and scent that is subtle and special. Its scent changes, blooms rather, in the shower and acquires the rich subtlety that I love about. Think I'll go use it now.

                      I love this soap's scent, texture, and effectiveness. I do not care for the fig leaf in each bar or how quickly the soap gets used up. Still, it's one of my very favorite Lush products.

                        This is one of the first soaps I bought from Lush and I love it! The girl at the store recommended to me bc I said l love exfoliating. This soap totally did the job. I found it exfoliating but not drying. In fact, the little brown seeds in the soap were so effective I had to be careful about scrubbing too hard. I was also attracted to the smell in the store but I found that it was VERY strong when wet but its not too big of a deal. I did find though that the soap doesn't last very long...I can probably get about 7 to 8 showers which is kind of annoying since bc of all the seeds you already get less soap wise anyways.
