Scrumptious Confection Cleansers

Latika Soaps Offer Delicious Aesthetics to Hygiene Products

— September 16, 2011 — Lifestyle
While Latika Soaps look good enough to eat, its name should indicate that it’s reserved for hygienic purposes only -- not dietary ones.

Etsy user 'soaparty' created Latika Soaps with the foodie in mind. What’s surprising is how incredibly real some of these look. But of course, as scrumptious as they appear, these shower products are all about keeping the body clean and fresh. Most of the soaps take the form of various confections and goodies that most can’t resist when they’re craving certain foods. So far, soaparty has formed cleansers in the shape of popsicles, cupcakes, Oreo cookies and even French macarons. These have all been colored to give the items an authentic, colorful look that’s sure to capture anyone’s attention.
