Editorial Review for Camamu – by Annamaria Pardini
In Short
The store features a soap-making studio, curing room and browse-and-buy displays. Stacks of delicate pink heart-shaped soaps are dusted with rose petals, glass vases overflow with pastel soap spheres and bulk slabs perfume the air with lavender, bergamot mint and ylang-ylang. The bath, shaving, laundry and pet soaps are made on the premises, with olive, palm and coconut oils and natural scents and colorants. Accessories include linen towels, hemp mitts, soap dishes and shaving brushes.

The ExtrasCustom-made gift boxes with handmade paper details hold from two to five soaps and can be purchased individually or ordered in advance as gifts.

Lori makes a wide selection of any kind of soap imaginable (even for dogs!) She is super nice and helpful. The aroma wafting out the door draws you in for sure :) She also did a design soap that had a sunset on the ocean (each color a different flavor). I even asked her about dry skin, and she pulled out a bunch of recommended soaps (She is VERY knowledgeable) :) Two thumbs up for sure.
Cons: Like many in the neighborhoods stores, opens a bit randomly
