But you can't eat any of it!

Remember Third Day Naturals? They're a small company from New York State, and they make totally natural soaps (I gave some away in December, remember?)

Well, they've recently expanded their product line to include some new products, including lip balm, lotion bars, and sugar scrub. And they've got some new soap scents.

Lucky me, I got to sample some of them. 🙂

Some of the scents smell pretty darn edible...there's vanilla and chocolate lip balm, mocha soap, and cinnamon-scented goat's milk soap (my favorite!)

My kids really like the Triple Mint Mocha soap, though (that's the swirled one in the photo.)

I'd never actually heard of a lotion bar, which is another new product from Third Day. It's kind of like a solid version of lotion. The heat from your skin warms it up enough for just a small amount to spread over your skin.

And since it's made from completely natural ingredients (coconut oil, beeswax, shea butter, lanolin, essential oils of lavender, lavandin, and bergamot, and vitamin E), it's safe to use even on very sensitive skin.

Oh, and I can't forget to tell you that Third Day has $2.95 flat rate shipping for U.S. orders (sweet!). And they now ship to Canada as well (though the $2.95 deal is unfortunately not good in Canada).

    1. Oops :). I signed up for their newsletter too! The products and prices look great! Thanks for the giveaway Kristen!!

  84. Would love to try these products! Our family has recently switched to an all natural, healthy lifestyle and I have been trying to find everyday products that are all natural as well! My daughter has such sensitive skin for a 2 year old and these seem like a great alternative!

  86. I'd love to try the Head to Toe bar, and the citrus soap would be lovely this time of year 🙂

  87. I would love to win -- I signed up for the newsletter and liked them on Facebook. Thank you for sharing!

  103. My favorite Third Day Product is the Head to Toe Soap.. Sometimes I am just feeling lazy or want to take a quick shower, and I use it to scrub-a-dub-dub all over.. It smells great and doesn't leave my skin feeling dry.

  105. I am gathering info to learn to make these things at home- but winning some would be great. too !

  107. I would love to try these products....the honey vanilla sugar scrub sounds wonderful!

  108. Woohoo, it's so nice to see some contests being open to Canadians. It can be pretty frustrating to read through many giveaways, then get to the bottom and see that they're only open to US residents. Even worse is when there is no mention of this, winning the prize, and then being told they cannot ship to Canada.

  115. Would love to win, winter in MT is rough on the skin. And I had to laugh about them being "almost edible," my youngest used to eat Chapstick, lip balm, etc. in her earlier days............

  117. I have been working towards all natural products in my home and would love to try these!

  118. I have always wanted to try a lotion bar. I have terribly dry skin and seem to buy endless useless products. Thank you for the chance!

  137. I love using organic and natural soaps. I would like to try the lotion bar.It seems interesting

  140. The triple-mint mocha soap looks downright delectable! I am also curious about the cinnamon goat milk soap. I've found that natural lip balms such as these are far more effective at moisturizing my lips and *keeping* them from getting dry and chapped. Most commercial ones do not succeed in this regard.

    1. Oy, my post is not clear about which one I especially want to try. I guess it's the triple-mint mocha!

  144. I have been reading your blog for several months now and love all your posts about Aldi and the new products you and your family try (like Third Day Naturals items!). I haven't used TDN products but would love to try the lip balm and bar lotion in any scent combination. Thanks for maintaining a helpful, insightful blog!

  145. The lotion bar is pretty intriguing, but that Cinnamon Goat Milk bar sounds pretty awsome too. I would be happy to try any of these!

  146. Sounds like a good company with good, original products - any idea where the name comes from?

  149. Oh, how I love natural soaps and lotions. The older I get, the more sensitive and more particular my skin becomes. I would also love to try a small, independent artisan's products because I'm all about supporting USA-made products. 🙂

  151. I also signed up for their newsletter. This is just the kind of stuff I LOVE to give as gifts!

  152. I would love to try these. My family has sensitive skin and we are picky as to what soaps and lotions we can use. My eldest daughter has eczema, so it's a must for us.

  162. I am switching to more natural products and would loooove to try their products especially the lotion bar!

  164. I cannot limit my choice to just one! If I won I'd have a very hard time deciding which wonderful product to choose.

  177. I have been curious about those lotion bars! This pregnancy has left my skin really dry:)!

  178. The scent sound wonderful! I would like to try out the lotion bar...sounds interesting.

  184. A lotion bar? that sounds awesome! I wish I could be part of the contest 🙁

  185. We just moved the the SW desert and could use some good lotion. We all have very sensitive skin!

  188. Liked Third Day naturals on Facebook! 🙂 Would love to bless my sister with this for her bridal shower! She absolutely loves natural things and her favorite sent is vanilla 😉

  191. I would love this. I am a big lip balm person. I have them everywhere. So that would be a great product to try.

  192. I think I would really like the vanilla scented products! Vanilla is my fave!!

  201. While I'm tempted by the vanilla lip balm, I love peppermint lip balm so would have to choose that! Oooh, or maybe the lime.

  202. The lotion bar is a really cool idea - definitely beats a tube of lotion exploding in your purse...

  205. The lotion bar sounds amazing. I am always looking for lotion products with minimal ingredients!

  207. And I liked them on Facebook. Maybe this time I won't forget about them when I need to order skin care stuff...

  209. awesome giveaway! I love all-natural products but haven't taken the plunge on buying shea butter or beeswax for making my own lotion yet.

  210. I would love to try that fun lotion. Even if I don't win, I think I will still order some. Thank you!

  214. I have been super interested in making some of these types of items. This would be great opportunity to try them out without the expense of buying the material myself! 🙂

  215. I like soap. I bought some goats milk soap in Little Switzerland, NC once and that was some very nice soap. I'd like to have something similar again.

  216. These look fabulous! I love trying new body products, it's a bit of a weakness for me 🙂

  217. That Triple Mocha Mint sounds and looks good enough to eat! And the lotion bar sounds interesting...thanks for the chance to win.

  220. The sugar scrub sounds interesting! I'll bet it would help shed winter dry skin in time for spring.

  225. I'd love to win! I poked through the website and I would love to the head-to-toe bar, that would help me simplify bath, just one bar to do it all! Thanks.

  228. I've never tried any of these products, bit the cinnamon goat's milk soap sounds wonderful!

  230. Kristen, Thank you so much for this giveaway. I have yet to try these products but I look forward to checking them out. The product line looks great ( and delicious! ). Have a wonderful day.

  233. I would LOVE to try the lotion bar! i have sensitive skin and find that sometimes, lotions are just to 'greasy' or there's too much.

  235. I've never tried Third Day, but I think the Peppermint Tea Tree soap sounds amazing! Thanks for the chance!!

  239. I have been wanting to try the soaps since you did the last review and giveaway. I think they would work better than most store bought soap on my eczema.

  242. I'd love to try her products! I'm allergic to nuts and find a lot of new products use almond oil, etc. So, i like that she lists are ingredients and I bet if I called her up she could tell me the scoop... it's not always easy to do that with a big corporation! Thanks for sharing her link 🙂 My best... 🙂

  244. I don't know what my favorite product is until we get to try it. My daughter has terrible allergies and we can only use certain products for her skin. I am sure she would love to try something scented that may not irritate her skin. Right now all we can use is unscented soaps. Boring!! Thanks for the chance.

  245. I started using Third Day products after reading about them on your blog! My favorite so far is the Peppermint Tea Tree Soap but would love to try more! 🙂

  258. Thanks, I'd love to try. Always looking for local/small, eco-conscious businesses to support. 🙂

  259. They look like great products - I'd particularly like to try the lotion bar - what a great idea!

  260. I would love to try Third Day products. I'm especially interested in the lotion bar.

    Thanks!

  270. I would love to win these products! I think vanilla would be great! The lotion bar sounds especially awesome:)

  272. I'm really intrigue with the lotion bar. I read recently that coconut oil is not as moisturing as other oils. How is it working out for you?

    1. So far, it's just fine, but I haven't had the bar for very long. Also, I don't have extremely dry skin, though it does get a little bit dry in the wintertime, so I might not be the best person to ask!

  275. A lotion bar sounds like a great idea. Thanks for the chance to win for Canadians! 🙂

  280. I've never tried any of their products but they sound great! I'd love to try them.

Unfortunately I haven't found a lotion that has truly helped, and I'd love to find out if their lotion would do the trick. Does the flat shipping rate apply for Alaska, too?

  311. I love them all and would be so happy if i could share these with my sister who is getting married soon and loves natural things!

  335. I am loving all of the Third Day Natural Products! The Lavender/Oatmeal Soap is refreshing and very healing. The lip balms, "Herbal Peppermint" and "Liberated" Lip Balms are soothing and have kept my lips very "happy." What I am most excited about is the Lotion Bars! What a great idea. They smell wonderful and protect my hands very well. In several days, my cuticles are no longer dry and cracked. Great products!

  337. Would love to win~I am always interested in products that don't have harsh chemicals and are good for sensitive skin! Thanks!

  373. That lotion bar sounds cool! I used to use body-butter, which is similar, but not as solid.
