New soap : Elvado. Anyone tried it?

[VerbaVolant]

Browsing for a facial scrub I came across this new-to-me soap ELVADO. Never heard of it before and it seems it is a Canadian product.
I saw it at well.ca and was wondering if anyone tried it. The ingredients list is a copy and paste from well.ca page:

Ingredients:
Cocos Nucifera (Coconut Oil), Elaesis Guineensis (Palm Oil) , Cathamus Tintorius (Safflower Oil), Glycerine (Kosher of vegetable origin), Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Purified Water, Fragrance (Parfum 100% Natural), Sodium Hydroxide, Sorbitol, Sorbitan Oleate, Glycine Soja (Soy Bean Protein), Titanium Dioxide (Mineral Whitener)

Note: Elvado's Proprietary Fragrance Blends are listed as Fragrance ( Parfum 100% Natural). Elvado does not use any Synthetic or Artificial Fragrances in any of their formulations. You have their assurance that all of their Fragrance Blends are made using Premium Essential Oils

Anyone?

Update.
It seems it is not available at well.ca, yet.

I found their website and it is quite exciting to see a new soap maker in Canada. They have listed so far a bunch of soaps and also shaving sticks.

I'm not a soap expert, but I've read more than once that the cleansing properties of a soap with coconut oil as the primary fat are a bit stronger than most others.

Of course, they may have used a higher superfating discount to make up for that.

This is true. So soaps with coconut oil as the main ingredient tend to be quite drying.

The maker and founder of Elvado was at one of the Toronto shaving shops recently. I got to meet him and he told me a lot about his products. I found out his shaving creams have no synthetic or artificial fragrances. Also, he only uses essential oils. I picked up the Royal Tahitian Lime and the Vanilla Almond. Great scents!

The Royal Tahitian Lime is a very nice scent. Super easy to lather...think and creamy with very good protection.

I have a sample of the Elvado Lime cream, it makes a decent lather with just a small amount of product, although the lime scent is a bit on the industrial side for my taste.

Oh, so they're a Toronto-based company.

They are about 70km or 40 miles north of TO in Newmarket. I've tried two of their soaps and they have a great scent and great slickness. FWIW they are a vegan shop.

Thanks to Dom, I tried their Tahitian Lime, and really liked it! Excellent lather and scent!
