Is this shower gel Jesus-worthy?

Do I really need a soap that contains ingredients that were used by the likes of Nefertity, the Queen of Sheba, and Jesus? After trying Kings & Queens Caspar Myrrh Showergel, yes, I believe I do. 

The Kings & Queens product line is from the makers of Korres products (which I really like.) 

Each shower gel, including the Caspar Myrrh, is named after a famous person from the days of yore.  For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out which famous figure Caspar was the ghost of, (or why they spelled his name wrong), then I read the side of the bottle. 

Turns out Caspar was one of the three Magi, and Myrrh was one of the gifts they gave to little baby Jesus. Back in the day, Myrrh had many medicinal properties and was valued almost as much as gold.

I had no idea that the Burger King was one of the Magi.

I think it’s extremely, uh, creative that they tried to somehow link their shower gel to Jesus. When you’re in the store wondering if you should buy it, and you think “what would Jesus do?”, they kind of have you there.

While this soap does come in a plastic bottle, which I don’t like, at least this one has a #1 resin code, so it’s recyclable. 

Kings & Queens Caspar Myrrh left my skin feeling super soft and smooth. And I love the smell - kind of  cinnamon-y with a slight hint of dark chocolate and something that smells vaguely like an ingredient in a men’s colognes (Myrrh perhaps?) Needless to say, it’s a very unisex scent. Plus it lingers a really long time.

I also love the label. It makes me feel like royalty. Like when I walk out of the bathroom I expect to find a jeweled crown, full-length gown and a team of dressers awaiting my arrival.

Then I’m slapped back to reality when I see my cat standing in front of her litter box, waiting for me to scoop it.

That sounds lovely! I've been hunting for something to replace my usual bar of Irish Springs soap. :) The smell sounds perfect - pleasant but not overpowering.

Is this price prohibitive? Where can I find this Soap of Lords?

If you're in Canada, this stuff is on special at Shopper's Drug mart. You're looking at under $10.

p.s. Jenny,
My cat also does this...at 6 in the morning.

Often when I stumble upon something new, you blog about it shortly thereafter. weeeeird. I live in Vienna, Austria and noticed this new label at the store mostly because it was one of the only things not in German. I didn't know if I should drop the cash, but now I may just have to invest. Thanx for the input.

Hey Jessica,
So far it appears to be at Nordstrom, beauty.com and drugstore.com, but i'm sure it'll start popping up more places cause it's really good. It's $9 which sounds kind of steep but it's actually a big 10 oz bottle and a little goes a long way. It's the kind of soap that's worth having around even if if it's reserved for days you want to feel a little extra royal:)
thanks
jenny

Yes, Jenni. Cats seem to be impossible to train but so good at training us:)

Hey Gitte, If you happen to try any of the other flavors let me know what you think. They all sounds so good.
thanks!
