Eight Patchouli Mint Soap Recommended by Whom You Know: BINU Natural Soap debuts it's Soap des Artiste at this Summer's NYIGF

The Elite Chez Peachy took a look at the Eight Patchouli Mint Soap next, and tried it:

The binu natural soaps are so nice. I have a few of them, including the after eight patchouli-mint soap. It’s a beautiful aqua color and smells like mint. It is made with natural ingredients such as goat’s milk and olive oil. Great for dry skin!

Who can resist the smell of mint? I can't! I truly love Binu's After Eight Patchouli Mint soap. It smells so amazing! It's a beautiful aqua green and brown color. I use this as my hand soap and it keeps my hands clean and soft. It does the job and doesn't over dry my skin.

The combination of the patchouli and the mint in this soap provides quite the pick-me-up in my morning shower, particularly when I haven't had much sleep or rest the night before. Immediately upon touching water, the soap releases this wonderful and invigorating scent that envelops the bathroom. The all-natural ingredients: goat's milk, olive oil, jojoba oil, glycerin and vitamin E, are soothing for my dry skin. It leaves a nice, refreshing tingle on my skin even after toweling off and helps me carry on with my day with a bit more pep and energy.

"They're too pretty to use", say most 'passer-buyers' after their initial glance of BINU Natural Soaps. They then come to their senses and realize a delightful scent of Lavender, Green-tea, Patchouli or Bergamont is captured in a quintessential meeting of art and beauty in a 4 oz.natural soap sculpture. Both visually and aromatically delightful, these soaps are a nice treat for you and the perfect gift for someone special.

BINU's founder So Jeong Lee, a Korean sculpture and newly inventive soap-maker, first introduced her artistic hand-made natural soaps at the Festival Marketplace in Pompano Beach, Florida in 2009. Most customers stand, intrigued by the sight of something so practical, yet so beautiful. Somewhat 'museum-like' in their stature and gaze, BINU's customers are first introduced by the delightful invitation to 'pick them up and smell them, or by the proud disclaimer that they're wonderful for your skin. So Jeong is simply trying to create a brand that accentuates beauty through artistic means. She seems to be onto to something different, as customers realize that everything from her choice of scents, colors and selective packaging is embedded in her soaps.

BINU is making it's New York debut at this summer's NYIGF- New York's Newest in 2010. Natural soaps have never lookd so beautiful. Made with natural essential oils, goat's milk, jojoba oils and other fine ingredients; 'BINU' is simply ... 'Soap' (in Korean), smirks the artist. Yet, unique in a way that doesn't claim to be made with recycled bio-fuels or even indigenous flowers from Provence (myth that the finest soaps must come from France). BINU is simply ... 'too pretty to use', winks the Soap-maker /Artist.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
