I’ve been using Mestiza soap for 8 years and since then I never used anything else. I hoard and bring a lot whenever I get the chance to go home in the Philippines. In these trying times, I think it’s best that we support locally-made products as our way to help local businesses big or small. I love Mestiza! The only soap that is true to their word of giving their customers healthy glowing skin.

I had just gotten back from El Nido,so I had a gorgeous beach tan that I was happy with, but I was worried when I realized I’d be representing Mestiza soap because I always assumed that a “mestiza” was someone fair-skinned. Thankfully, I was educated by one of the clients, who explained that a “mestiza” simply refers to a woman of mixed race, whether she be fair or tan. This made me appreciate the brand even more, for celebrating women of all color & race, and not for being a stereotypical beauty product that only promotes white skin.

I love how clean I feel using this bar soap. Normally, I use body wash but this came highly recommended so I gave it a try and I have been using it ever since.
