I discovered my other product here in the U.S. It is Doux bar soap which is made in the South of France. It contains shea butter, palm and olive oils. My favorite is the rose scented bar. It is a very soft and feminine fragrance which produces a very creamy lather. I find myself stopping my shower to inhale the sweet rose scent. I also like the lavendar scent (not pictured). It has a very clean, soft scent with actual pieces of lavendar in the bar providing an interesting texture and light exfoliation. I discovered these at a french boutique in my neighborhood, retailing at $12.50. They tend to sell out and luckily I was able to find it online through a U.S. retailer. I will keep my eye open for these decadent bar soaps the next time I'm in Paris.
Inspired by a trip to Paris, evolving into a food and travel blog as I explore new and familiar locations.

Favorite French Bath and Body Products
Whenever I come across a blog or an article about beauty finds in Paris, I never see my favorite products so I would like to share mine. The first is Sanoflore hand and nail cream which I found in the Saint-Germain pharmacy. My goal was to find a product that I could not find at home. The key ingredient, honey, gently nourishes and protects your skin. I believe it was around ten euro. As you can see, this well used tube was my go to during the winter and beyond and provided long lasting moisture. I've not been able to find this cream in the U.S and it would cost twice the price in shipping to order it online. I'm now wishing I would have purchased a few more tubes.
