Description
Months of research into the herbal healing methods of many cultures and eras went into my creation of DreamSoap Facial Cleanser. It’s a powerful but safe and gentle concoction of natural ingredients to clean the face and enhance health and beauty.
You’ll appreciate the lack of sodium lauryl (or sodium laureth) sulfate (often described as “coconut-based”…sure, but the changes that poor coconut went through!), chemical fragrances, or any cheap, caustic, petrochemical, pesticide-laden, dangerously preserved or chancy ingredients. I left all that garbage out of DreamSoap (like any of my products) and used natural ingredients without their goodness heated or refined out. Read more about the ingredients I use and do not use at the top of the Ingredients page.
What is in it? Let’s put it this way, cleansing your face with DreamSoap is treating yourself to a banquet for hungry skin. Your skin never had it so good! Take a look at DreamSoap’s ingredients — you might think you’re reading a list of whole foods in a fabulous, natural health smoothie! These days, with our bodies all too often starved for real, live, untampered-with food, we can use every exposure we can get to pure plant power. Pure Plant Power? Yes…whole, organically grown plants able to deliver precious phytonutrients to the skin.
DreamSoap feels like a combination of a gentle sudsing cleanser and a cream cleanser — it’s the best of both worlds. Very concentrated…all you need is 3 to 4 drops. Work up a lather, close your eyes, inhale the scent of pure natural ingredients and enjoy. DreamSoap can remove make-up and normally does on a once-over, however some very persisting kinds of make-up (if you check their ingredients, you want to throw them out) might take an extra go. Do rinse well, preferably with pure (unchlorinated, unfluoridated, natural) water. DreamSoap rinses free and leaves pores unclogged. You’ll love how your face feels…soft, nourished, so very clean and fresh! It’s not just a cleanser, but the start of your powerful skin treatment program. Now you’re ready to get the most out of the next all-natural Evan’s Garden products you’re applying.
Varieties of DreamSoap
People of any skin type can use any DreamSoap variety, with this exception: if skin is very oily and/or acneic, Clarity is the likeliest candidate to help handle that. So although any “scent” of DreamSoap is fine to choose if you prefer it, here’s some info on the differences in them:
Bare & Beautiful™ is my way of saying that I added to the basic recipe which you see the ingredients of above no further essential oils.
Lavender in Bloom™ — utterly gorgeous lavender essential oil added. Lavender is a rejuvenating plant, helps the skin regenerate healthy cells and repair. It famously assists our nerves to connect and function, too. Lavender, then, relaxes us body and soul while it helps the body feel more alive with its poshing up of the nervous system. If more than one kind of skin-typed person is using the DreamSoap bottle or if your skin goes through changes, Lavender in Bloom is your wisest choice, for lavender is tremendously beneficial to every skin type, oily, dry, blemished, scarred, sensitive, aging, combination. This is why we include Lavender in Bloom as the variety of DreamSoap in all our Intro Kits. Lavender is a God-send. After rose, it has more plant chemicals than any other plant at my last checking. If uncertain, choose the lavender.
Fresh Flowers™ is a bouquet of natural floral beauty, including rose, jasmine, lavender, neroli, geranium and others. These were chosen for their benefits to the skin and in combination particularly for dry or aging skin.
Orange Fantasy™ — orange is most applicable to dry or aging skin, but, interestingly, also good for oily, and other complexions. Orange Fantasy has a hint of spice in the form of cardamom — anti-oxidant, helpful in circulation, in respiration of the skin as well as lungs and (since we absorb through the skin and breathe these in, great for digestion). Also contains rose essential oil, fabulous for all skin types.
Fresh Fruit™ — a refreshing blend of grapefruit, lime and other fruits, lavender, eucalyptus, etc….invigorating and good especially for oily skin.
Clarity™ — this is a blend of many essential oils I created to help handle pretty bad oiliness and acne. It smells so wonderful, too! (I have been requested to make a cologne of it.) If your skin is mildly oily or blemished, also try Lavender in Bloom, which is included in the Clarity System for days when the oiliness and acne are not very bad or are cleared up.
By the way, men have loved using DreamSoap as passionately as women and any “flavor” may be a man’s choice, Fresh Flowers, Lavender in Bloom, Fresh Fruit, etc. Scent is a matter of personal choice and I find that men appreciate flowers as much as ladies do.

I love your products, the natural mineral make up, and skin products like DreamSoap and Youth Trio because they are made lovingly and thoughtfully, have natural ingredients, and are gentle and effective! – J.L
As for your products, I absolutely love them and am delighted so far. I had already been using xxxx but my skin is loving your wonderful potions and I certainly plan to continue ordering. I am still perplexed how 1 drop of dreamsoap can produce so much lather- it’s great. Everything else is wonderful too. The facial scrub is great, the spray toner and the creme is the best I have tried. Believe it or not I have always shied away from using moisturizers because even the xxxx ones leave my skin feeling a bit weird for lack of a better word. But your creme is like silk- so light I do not even know it’s there- I am thrilled with it. I will certainly recommend you to everyone I know…. Incidentally- every single one of your thoughts, your tips and your insights are exactly how my fiance and I live and think after attending Hippocrates Health Institute about 6 years ago when I was very ill. It is great to hear from others that share the same knowledge and insight etc. Have a Happy and Healthy Holiday and a Joyous and Peaceful New Year. E.D.
I really love your products!! It is very timely for you to be asking me these questions because I recently realized how much better your products are than others I have tried. I recently purchased the Leeza Gibbons Sheer Cover make-up which comes with a sunscreen moisturizer and a cleanser. When I used it my face broke out and looked dirty! I sent the stuff back!!! Also, I have been using Miracle II soap for my face and body but my face wasn’t looking as good as it does when I use Dreamsoap. You see, I was saving the last of my Dreamsoap because it is so precious. Anyway I said to heck with it and started using my last bottle of Dreamsoap on my face and voila! My skin looks great again!! What a relief!! I had forgotten how good I was looking before I stopped using it!!! So keep up the great work!!! Believe me, I’ve tried everything! It really helps to keep my humongous pores clean and that’s really the only thing I can do for that problem. Also, I have been using the powder for my face and I think it is therapeutic too! – N.I.
As for your products, I absolutely love them and am delighted so far. I had already been using Aubrey but my skin is loving your wonderful potions as well and I certainly plan to continue ordering. I am still perplexed how 1 drop of DreamSoap can produce so much lather- it’s great. Everything else is wonderful too. The facial scrub is great, the spray toner and the creme is the best I have tried. Believe it or not I have always shied away from using moisturizers because even the Aubrey ones leave my skin feeling a bit weird for lack of a better word. But your creme is like silk- so light I do not even know it’s there- I am thrilled with it. – L.D.
big fan of Velvet. Again, even though this is a scrub, unlike other products I have used, this does not dry out my skin and it really gives you a deep down clean. My main reason for even looking into your products is that I had been doing research on parabens and not surprisingly, I have found them to be in just about every single product out there, from mascara to soap to cough syrup. I have been trying to reduce this exposure any way that I can and I happened to stumble upon your website and found your wonderful paraben-free products. I really enjoy your products and will continue to buy them as long as you and Evan continue to make them! Thank you so much for making such wonderful products! I will be placing another order soon! Thanks! – Lisa
Hi Evan’s Garden Buds, I really like the products that I recently purchased and I thought that you would like to know. The Lavender Dreamsoap is so incredibly creamy and refreshing. I see the Lavender will be my favorite and it goes even further than the last variety of your soap I purchased, and that lasted an incredible 3.5 months! My scalp tingles with delight from the shampoo and the tooth powder leaves a refreshing, clean feeling in my mouth long after regular (yuk) toothpaste does. You guys have hit the mother lode in safe effective personal hygiene and I absolutely love all of the Organic Beauty products that I have used so far. Keep up the R&D and let’s see what else you are inspired to create. – Much love, – Bob Y.
I have experienced the best deodorant in the universe from Organic Beauty. Affectionately labeled by Evan: Bob’s Stinky Powder, this product is right up there with DreamSoap as far as quality and I just renewed my supply of it. This stuff lasts SO long I don’t know how these guys make any money! – B.Y.

DreamSoap is the best facial cleanser I’ve ever used! My favorite flavor is Orange Fantasy. It smells like the blossoms on my orange tree. I use the entire ‘Appear More Youthful Skincare’ line and have for years. I feel good knowing there are no chemicals, only fresh and natural ingredients! Evan knows her stuff! – MB

DreamSoap is the absolute best soap I have EVER used … not only does my skin feel super clean with no residue, but it feels rejuvenated ! The Orange Fantasy scent is so perfect … not too much and not too little. The best part is the all natural ingredients – no harmful chemicals! That is a big deal for me – all the rest of the benefits are icing on the cake! Thank you, Evan! This stuff is awesome!!! DR
