Eumora Soap - Is It A Miracle Bar Or Just A Fictitious Marketing?

I was being approached 2 months ago to see if I’m interested to sign up as a distributor for this product - Eumora Bar.

So I requested for a sample piece to see if this product is convincing enough before committing myself as a distributor.

I met up with this guy (also a distributor) as he prefer to hand me the small sampling 6.25g in person and at the same time to explain further on this ‘miracle’ product. Do you believe this small little bar can exactly sell at S$17.

First, he started with focusing on the key ingredients and their benefits – MOOR and HmA(Algae). And then follow by showing me some hard-sell ‘before and after’ images of customers who have used the ‘miracle’ soap bar. He told me that this soap bar is not an ordinary soap bar BUT a miracle facial bar which can do wonders like remove wrinkles, lines & scars, close up pores, treat balding, heal acne, skin firming, even up skin tone and blah blah blah….

Ingredients

Eumora is claimed to be 100% natural and contained 100% ingredients from Europe : Moor, HmA and a ’special’ base. This so-called special base, Glycerin, is just an ordinary base used by other beauty products too. What a disclaimer, sign…………..

The key ingredient, Moor, is claimed to be 100% natural herbal ingredient consisting of flowers, plants, grasses and herbs. This clay ingredient is rarely used on skincare products, not suitable for dry skin and there is no scientific research done on this ingredient.

HmA, also known as algae, in cosmetics it is act as a thickening agents, water-binding agents and antioxidants. Some algae are also potential skin irritants. However, the claims that algae can stop or eliminate wrinkling, heal skin or provide other elaborate benefits are unsubstantiated.

Their first two ingredients on the ingredient list (which means contains highest content), disodium lauyl sulfosuccinate and sodium coco-sulfate, are considered as detergent ingredient that produce foaming soap.

This product is created, produced and manufactured in Malaysia. It is a 100% Malaysia product and it is not an UK product as it perceived. I was being fooled by them thinking they are products of UK but I was wrong. The product was first marketed and distributed in Malaysia and then followed by Singapore and now their next stop will be UK.

Eumora is not available in the shops and only via approved trading partners. They are now expanding trading links to markets outside South East Asia.

The hard covered box contains of 4 soap bars with 25gm each. Depending on the resellers, each box costs at S$150. In my opinion, the high-priced doesn’t justify the ordinary ingredients at all. It’s just plain RIDICULOUSLY & CUT-THROAT!!!

After some researches on the ingredients, I realized it contains ordinary and some harmful allergy ingredients which can dry up the skin mercilessly.

Hence, I requested my husband to be my guinea pig to see if it’s works (especially to see if it can eliminate wrinkles as shown on their hard-sell images) but he declined my offer as he finds the sampling is too tiny to hold or to use it.

It’s been 2 months and I’m still skeptical to try the sampling. After some studies on the ingredients, it doesn’t seem convincing enough that this product can do much ‘magic’ on the skin. One setback on this product as it contains ingredients that will severely dehydrate skin. Definitely a NO-NO for me, I can’t risk my skin on that! I find the pricing is ridiculously highly priced. How can an ‘ordinary miracle’ soap bar charging at such a high price. With such a high profit margin, I wonder how much profit has the big boss exactly earned by now. Not to be surprised, he should be a millionaire by now. Hee hee….

Below are some of the feedbacks I have retrieved from other beauty forums :

“All this product do is make your skin drier. the firmness is due to the tightening of the skin which is because the product is too drying already.”

“u have to let it peel off old cells n after the healing crisis all will be perfect. just continue using it n dont stop. once u stop it, u hinder the detoxification process n ur healing can never be done.”

“i had crazy breakouts on my cheeks and near my mouth that i think i almost went into depression! (serious!) i didn’t want to meet anyone, i just wanted to stay at home then. totally crazy. so i went to see a doctor. he told me to stop using it. apparently i had some chemical burns to my face, due to the soap! eek.”

“the sales people were saying, it will purge your toxins so you’ll have breakouts in the initial phase? i’m not sure how scientifically true it is..”

“he apply on his neck, and i guess the soap got stuck in the wrinkled lines, and next morning, he has raw marks on his neck. (like those hanging noose marks) quite bad, so do take care when using this. He is still using it, and i am taking pic of his before and after to see whether it works.”

“But after 1 week, I had red dots and blotches on my face. My forehead, my cheeks and my chin area were the worst affected. It made my face super itchy and so I had to stop.”

“My skin felt smooth but tight (tightness due to dryness) after a wash and after a few days i noticed a few pimples. I stopped using it and told my mother of it’s effects. It just so happened that when i called her, my mother was having tea with the friend who sold her the soap. She came on the line and told me that the pimples were perfectly normal, that the soap was just drawing out toxins. She went on to say that there were no chemicals in the soap and urged me to continue using it. That struck me as strange because i did read the ingredients and even thought i am no chemist, i do know that you need some kind of hardening agent to make soap hard and some other kind of agent to make it soapy.”

Tried it once. My skin was red and peeling after three washes. Plus, I was wondering about the smell. Smelt like bleach…

Eumora soap is a real disaster to me. Due to my cousin’s persuasion, i bought a box from her and my face which was already a very sensitive skin then worsen. Just as all the standard answers given, i was told to continue using as that is part of the detox process. Today, into the 2nd month of using this soap, my face not only full of outbreaks, but freckles, look dull and burn marks all over, esp so visible at my upper & lower chin. This just shows how damn bloody harmful this Eumora soap is! All of you out there, stop using if you happen to read this.

Hi Furious,

Oh dear! Seems like you have already suffered severe inflammation that ends up with burn marks. I believe it has severely dry up your skin.

What a nonsense to say that is part of the detox process, and there is no scientific prove to it. There is not even one ingredient in the ingredient list that can detox your skin. Sign…….

Oh no, I just bought one bar 3 days ago. Are you guys telling me that I’m wasting money?!! It cost me rm90 for one small bar!!! T___T

I’ve only used it for 5 times (twice a day) my pores near my nose bridge are actually smaller and less visible now. (The pores is due to my constant scrubbing with the Apricot Scrub I normally use to get rid of blackheads) So yeah, now it’s getting smaller.

I have acne and acne scars - haven’t seen any results on getting rid of it yet, but I notice before I use Eumora last 3 days, there were 2 pimples on my forehead that’s about to come out, but then I used Eumora, it stopped to grow bigger, and now it’s about to heal.

Skin is kind of tight after washing with this bar — especially if i didn’t wipe my face with towel, and just let the water dry by itself.

Then just today I notice something with this soap. Well yesterday actually I notice my nail (around the edges) turned blue black - i wondered where i got it from since i dont remember doing anything that might cause my nails to be so dirty like that. Then this morning when I wash my face with Emuora, after shower I noticed my nails’ edges are blue black again. So I think it must be from the soap since this has never happened before I use it.

I have nail-polish on my nails, so I tried to get rid if the nail polish together with the blue black thingy, and I was surprised when I applied the nail polish remover on my nails - the cotton i used to remove it was all blue black — its like when you remove your blue eye shadow — that’s the colour on the cotton! and my nail polish is not even blue! it’s nude colour.

So, I’m just curious what it is??? Is it some kind of chemical inside the soap?? Or is it just the ‘moor mud’ they claimed that was in the soap?

Before I bought the soap, I heard numerous positive comments, but just now I tried to search on the net, i find a lot of negative feedback, but there’s also some that are good, and some are neutral. But I’m still scared. Scared anything happen to my skin. And I just spend RM90 for a small soap that will cause my skin to be worst!

Can anyone with the soap like try to lather the bubbles on your hands, and when its dry, try to apply make up remover and see what colour it gets on the cotton? it’s probably just me. T____T

OMG!! I believe there is some chemicals (maybe bleaching) in the soap. We should boycott this company, the government should do something about it before more innocent people get cheated!

The soap is definitely NOT SUITABLE TO USE FOR OUR FACE!!! :-(

Hi Chios,

Do share with us on the outcome k. If your friend’s skin is getting worse, she should stop using it immediately.

I just came back from a “job” offer with a friend. It seemed that SAB was recuiting youngsters in Singapore to sell this “miracle” bar. Their proposal was that we -the “distributors”- had to first buy 5 bars of this crap at S$480 and use it. Then we would introduce this product to 5 of our friends and make then distributors too. The pay for finding 5 people under your wing was quite appealing, 3.5k minimum per MONTH!Instantly i felt it was kinnda suspicious. They said that the reason they were playing so much was cause they didnt set up shops or cared about advertisements so all of the money would go to us. Now I know how do they earn so much money for the 3.5k pay. They probably made their freaking bars out of bleach and sold it like gold. I tired the bar and i could feel the tightness of the skin. Like what most of the people here say, it is due to the dryness. 3 minute miracle my @$5

Hi Jon,

I agreed with you. My meeting with the distributor was done at the Euroma ‘office’ near Bugis Junction. There’s this huge cashier counter (for distributors to buy the products) at the entrance of this small office. And there is no room in this office at all but there are many round small tables for discussion.

I saw two separate group of youngsters between 13 to 17 years old gathering around the tables. And I noticed one of them (also a teenage) who looks like a pro distributor telling his group on how much they can earn by selling the bars. And he did the calculation on the possible profits to lure them. But he claimed they need to fork out a certain amount of money to buy the products before they could be a distributor themselves.

By using all these young people, this company are already profiting millions of dollars. These miracle bars are afterall just an ORDINARY BARS!! Goodness!

Hi Kelly, right choice!

Hi Yvonne,
The truth is, the distributors have to give positive comments as they need to convince you to buy the products!

Greetings,

Wow. I dont know what i should feel right now about ESABEE, and the Eumora biz thing that my classmate managed to made it sound so attractive that i went to the 10RM talk. First of all, you guys are right. For those who have attended the talk, you will see half or more than half are REALLY young people, students like me. It’s almost magnetic when i see someone in my class in the same college, of the SAME age is one of the top “Exec 5″ they call it. And he told my friend who dragged me that he earned up to 7K last month if im not mistaken. My eyes scans those who labeled themselves “successful” for any branded labels on them besides the blazers - nothing much except this kid with Da Vinci watch.

At the end of the seminar, i felt a rush to try the business and help my family pay off debts. I was attracted to the money more than the soap. THEN, they introduced the soap, nothing much was said except HmA (which they didnt even say it stands for Hidrymicroalgae thing), money making was a 40 minutes talk, then 7 minutes was the only part about the soap. Besides the HmA, nothing else was said about other ingredients, being a label reader myself who hogs around guardians and pharmacies lol it made me question things. And HOLY CRAP 4K to start being THAT successful and a box is at RM380?? I came there to MAKE money, and now i came home so depressed i dont have THAT MUCH MONEY to MAKE more money. I dont know..my friend who joined she really is persuasive, i know she is trying to help, but my mum had an experience with the Eumora and the MLM (they refused to admit it haha), she totally against it..Sometimes, mother’s hunches are pretty good i guess, now that i ran over this blog. Was curious how the bar is so good without any bad reviews, now found them :). “Detox” effect they say..hmm..I dont know, im using Phytobar now, made in Korea, with 11 herbs and nature’s healing plants from Middle East. It cost RM29.90, for a 30g bar that lasts up to 4 months. I used them twice daily, though they claimed not to feel tightness, in the first 2 days i did experienced it. And it felt a bit uncomfortable a bit especially my T-Zone area where i had pimples at that time and where most breakouts happen. HOWEVER, by the 3rd day or the 4th, it stops giving the the “harsh” redness and discomfort, and the best thing about this bar is that my super oily nose area is cut down by 92%. I still get pimples every once or twice a month, but im pretty happy because my face is super less oily, and blackheads and whiteheads DID cut down by somewhere near half? So anyway, i never skip 3 routined regiments, so with the phytobar soap as cleanser, i tone with Gervene oil-control toner (rm4-6, was trying due to the ingredients), and finish off with Organic Aid’s Vitamin E cream (rm12-14). The cream is goood to irritated skin btw and prevent dryness and after a while, it helps lighten pimple marks.. So, yeah,just being informative here, Phytobar by L’elan V’ital can be purchased at any Cosway retail store. Hey. RM30 is better than Rm380 anyway. :)

As for the trading…i really dont want to burn my mother’s 4k, so i think i will let go..dont you guys think so?

Hi Aya,

You’ve definitely made the right choice. This is just a conning business. I’m sad for the young people out there who have been cheated by parting their first downpayment and yet to earn them back. :-(
