Heritage Products Pine Soap Bar

Soap, Pine Tar 3.5 oz. 3.50 OuncesI've been using Pine Tar soap for over 30 years. Anyone who tells you they like the scent -well, just consider them "different" -but to each his own.

I write this review so that you will buy Pine Tar soap for the right reasons and not be disappointed when you find out the fragrance is less than pleasant.

I use Pine Tar soap because I have extremely oily skin and I've never found anything as good (except Noevir, which was *exceptional* but cost more than $5 an ounce).

Pine Tar soap has value for skin irritations but that has never been one of my needs.

I've only used Packer's and Grandpa's. I found Packer's a little superior but also more expensive.

I first found this soap in a store in my town but they didn't reorder it so I looked online and found it on Amazon. So happy I found it.

Paddywax Eco Green 7-Ounce Triple-Milled Shea Butter Soap

Paddywax Eco Green 7-Ounce Triple-Milled Shea Butter Soap, Verbena and LemongrassThis soap honest to goodness makes me look forward to my shower!!!! I will never buy other soaps again!!! LOVE!!!!

i got into this soap because the candles stunk up my home, and i mean that in the best way possible! light, clean, fresh fragrances that permeate every inch of my house but don't overpower it with deep chemical perfumes. i used to get the candles at TJ Maxx, Homegoods, and Marshalls but they are becoming fewer and far-er between so I started ordering them online and lo and behold, this soap! my favorite flavour of candle too! the soap is of the same caliber. i unwrapped it and put it in my shower the night before i used it and when i went in to shower the next morning, the bathroom smelled of it. leaves your skin smelling nice, feeling soft, and squeaky clean!

Very fast shipping speed and very well protected. One of the best soaps out there. Has true English Leather smell and conditions skin quite well. This is soap on a rope so you can hang it, and it is a hard milled soap so it lasts a long time. Lathers quite well and the smell endures through the soap's entire useage. One of the best, and one of the best prices.

Tuccini ships 6 oz soap for approx 3 bucks and is always reliable. However the suggestion of AMAZON that British Sterling is sometimes bought in tandem moved me to buy it. However, the BS soap, also 6 oz., costs approx 6 bucks in shipping. Tuccini has already notified me it has shipped its product. Have yet to hear from the co. selling British Sterling, the co. that charges 100% more to ship.

Latte Carezza - Milk Caress Soap Bar Salsomaggiore Terme

Latte Carezza - Milk Caress Soap Bar Salsomaggiore TermeI first purchased this soap at a gift shop while on vacation. I loved it so much, and I was thrilled to find it on Amazon. This is the signature milk soap used at spa in Italy. The scent is light and fresh. It produces a thick, rich lather, and lasts much longer than a typical American bar soap. My husband loves this soap as well the scent is neutral and he loves the lather. I have continued to order this soap and have found the quality to be reliable. The vendor on Amazon Touch of Europe is also very reliable and packages everything very carefully.

I highly recommend this produce.

EcoBags Soap Bag

EcoBags Soap BagI purchased this to replace a net soap holder, thinking it would be better because it's made of cotton. I didn't like it because it doesn't dry out between daily showers, which keeps the soap soft and wet.

Love This bag. My large bars of soap fit perfectly! I agree that it is very soft once wet. I just used mine for the first time and am buying more!

Perhaps it's the fact that we are using this product at our Costa Rican beach house and it's quite humid... but these bags did not meet my expectations. The bag never quite dries out, in spite of hanging from the faucet handle. So, the soap turns to mush and is gone in no time flat. We've gone back to using those little clear rubber pads with the nubs.

This was a very good product that I used during a two week jungle trip. It was smaller than a loofah and was soft, but still durable enough to exfoliate. A standard bar fit well in the bag, I used Dove. After two weeks of heavy use, this bag is still going strong. I wash in a delicates bag on the regular cycle with no problems. The downside is 100% coton stretches somewhat, dries slowly, and the product with bar of soap is slightly bigger than a standard bar soap travel case.

Mesh is too thin. Was hoping for an earth friendly replacement for the nylon mesh bags, but they work much better so I'm switching back.

Tim Downey

Bought this from Whole Foods for about $4.

The packaging says it's all-vegetable based and is a milled soap, although it includes no ingredients list. I would have preferred to see one, so that I could rate the ingredients on Skin Deep […] (where I also found out that the Whole Foods 365 shampoos were rated 4 on the 1-10 hazard scale; ouch).

I rate it a 4 because I don't know what the ingredients are within it. But the soap did not dry out my skin like ones that have detergent in it. I assume what keeps the hold is castile soap (olive based) or vegetable glycerin, natural byproducts. (Would likely rate a 1, maybe 2 on the Skin Deep database).

The smell is excellent; I chose this one over River Soap Company's sandalwood scent, my second choice. It's a wonderful woody like smell. All of the River Soap Company bars that I smelled at Whole Foods smell exactly like their labels.

The soap lightly exfoliates as the bar withers down as I shower. (Sometimes the grains may scratch a bit more than comfortable, but it's not terrible.) I could use it all over my body, even in delicate areas, and I feel no irritation at all.

I would purchase this soap again. I appreciate their light packaging (just recyclable cardboard), as shown, right off the shelf. I checked out their website... seems ethical. I love the scent; lingers in my bathroom. The soap doesn't feel heavy on my skin nor does it irritate it.

Wish they'd include ingredients so that I could have more trust, because I'd likely purchase another soap brand that did list everything but was also all-vegetable and felt just as natural.

Brut Bar Soap Classic, Original Fragrance, 7 Oz.

Brut Bar Soap Classic, Original Fragrance, 7 Oz.This soap is not quite the same as the soap on a rope, but it lathers well, has the great smell of Brut, and leaves that nice tight dry feeling like the rope type does. The only reason I dinged it a star is because it isn't on a rope.

I've never used the Brut colognes or after shaves but have used with regularity the Brut spray and roll-on deodorants and love them both. Recently I have taken to using fragrance brand soaps instead of liquid soaps for convenience and preference.

With this item, the PROS were that the bar is quite large and probably based on its formulation will likely last a long time, maybe too long since I am dissatisfied with it.

The CONS included that it appeared to be a glycerin-like soap with no discernible fragrance.

By contrast, I prefer the ROYAL COPENHAGEN soap which is very rich in creamy lather and has an ample scent. Also the Stetson soap is satisfactory but if the Brut soap I received is typical for what you will receive then just buy a large cake of glycerin soap which will likely save you money too...

Jergens Naturally Enriched Soap Bar, 4pk

Jergens Naturally Enriched Soap Bar, 4pkJergens value pack soap has that very mild fresh scent fragrance--and it really makes a difference! Unscented soap doesn't really please me; so I use this type of Jergens soap. The scent does not overwhelm me.

The soap, of course, goes a long way toward making my sensitive skin much smoother. That counts--my skin around the bridge of my nose and my feet is often so dry that it flakes all over and it's not exactly attractive. Jergens soap fights that successfully.

Of course, if you're allergic to scents or perfumes, choose another type of soap. I believe there is a type of unscented Jergens soap for sale on this website.

If you can catch a sale on this, stock up!

Overall Jergens mild soap with a slight fresh scent is a good type of soap to use when you want to feel clean and have a light deodorizing fragrance on your body at the same time. I highly recommend it.

As a soap, I use daily for washing and showering.

It seems softer that the same brand in the past.

Castile Liquid Soap Organic-Peppermint 16 Ounces

Castile Liquid Soap Organic-Peppermint 16 OuncesThis was THE soap to use by all of us former hippies back in the late sixties. Like a couple of other reviewers, I've been using this stuff for four decades now it obviously works for me!

It's amazing how the best is usually the most simple: just olive oil and peppermint extract. This soap deep cleans; rinses off well; and leaves no filmy feeling. Effective and reliable that's what I'm looking for in a product. It leaves you feeling clean and refreshed; it must be living up to the claims made by the folks at Dr. Bronner's.

I buy a gallon every other year that's how long it lasts. Must be diluted (Dr. Bronner's recommends 18:1 but I just eyeball it, maybe 6:1) and it goes on forever.

I wouldn't know about this soap as a multi-use cleaning product use it on my body only. But folks claim it's great on furniture, floors, clothes, dishes, you-name-it; must be pretty good stuff.

Highly recommended give it a try!

Extracts: A Field Guide for Iconoclasts

This soap has one seriously bizarro label.

You read the bottle and it's like...whoaaaah...is this guy under surveillance? Does he know where I live? Am I going blind just by reading this?...

That's the after-effect when you read a Magic Soap bottle.

The stuff in the bottle is just as wacked, but in a good way. This 'S' seriously cleans.

Grass? Mud? Blood? Yup.

Weird bathroom stains? Icky stove stains? Absolutely disappeared.

I clean my Diva Cup with this soap, and my Cup is stain free after many years of use. (Amazon sells Diva Cups, check em' out)

I clean my CAST IRON with this stuff. It gets grease gone, done, outta there, afterlife.

Enjoy this weird soap. Get dirty with your best friend, then get clean together.

Peace~

Buy Castile Liquid Soap Organic-Peppermint 16 Ounces Now

since I like all of Dr. Bronner's soaps, I will mainly deal with the fragrance of this one. Nothing beats it when you are hot and sweaty. It is cooling and relaxing.

Read Best Reviews of Castile Liquid Soap Organic-Peppermint 16 Ounces Here

This soap is very concentrated. I use it in a liquid hand soap dispenser, diluting about 1 part soap to 10 parts water lathers real good on the hands!

I also use it in the shower as well, by diluting 10 to 1 and filling up an old shampoo container. It works both as a shampoo and for lathering on the skin.

The soap is probably a little more oily than your used to, but it leaves your hands and skin really, really soft.

The peppermint is what gives the soap some "snap". It's really quite strong so dilution is necessary. The peppermint is really vitalizing.

Apparently there are many other uses for this soap (diluted). Some people use it as a general purpose cleaner and others for brushing their teeth (no thanks).

However, this soap goes a long, long way so it can really save you money. Just as a hand soap in the bathroom and for shower use (both hair and body) I could probably get several years out of a 16 oz. container. Probably works out to be a third the price of average budget shampoo and/or liquid hand soap so don't let the initial price disturb you.

I ordered this along with a 32oz bottle of the tea tree variant. I mix this with the tea tree for my shampoo as well as for my Shih tzu's coat. It leaves his coat super clean but soft and smelling so good. The peppermint helps with his skin itch. And I like the tingly feeling on my scalp after I shampoo.mi definitely recommend this to those who would like to try out a more natural. Based shampoo

Dr. Woods Black Soap

Dr Woods Castile Soap Pure Black 16 ozI wear makeup every day so finding a safe cleanser to get it off with is always what I'm after. Read a lot about the black soap so I decided to give it a try. I read that a lot of people use it for their acne, but I don't have acne or oily skin, it's dry to normal, so I was a little leery about using it. I'm just looking for a really good natural cleanser to remove my makeup effectively. So as far as cleaning my face goes, it effectively removed all my makeup. It also left my face squeaky clean. Never had that happen before. But I question whether that is too drying or not. Well I can't say if that would have totally dried out my face because shortly after washing I put on a thin layer of coconut oil and then my moisturizer. (Night time regime) Now the part I'm having a hard time with is the smell. Oh my, at first it reminded me of a men's cologne and I thought, "well, that's not so horrible" but then it just became sickening to me. The smell does eventually go away. If it weren't for the smell I would have given it five stars because it very effectively cleaned my face.**** Now this is an update to my review. I am still using the black soap cleanser and I don't even notice the smell anymore. I really am liking the black soap cleanser. I'm very happy with it.

This is a thin, watery type of soap with a great smell. I have sensitive skin, so I was reluctant to use this because I have used black soap in the past with no success; however, this soap is very gentle. I was scared it would be like Dr. Bronner's but it is not! The ingredients are mild! It can be used for shampooing hair. IT makes the hair very soft and clean without stripping. My son also loves it. He has been using it and it has taken away all dark marks and scratches that he had.

I have been buying natural castille soap from another site for several years and bought the black soap by accident thinking it was the same product. Boy, am I glad I did. During the winter I am plagued by dermatitis that develops into a rash and itches insanely (so I cannot sleep and scratch to the point of bleeding), especially on my torso. No lotion has ever offered more than temporary relief. The only treatment I've found that worked consistently is short visits to a tanning bed (the dermatitis is a form of eczema which responds to UV rays). This winter (it's already January) it's just the black soap and a bottle of lotion and no harmful UV rays to keep my sanity. In fact, instead of dreading the drying effects of the soap, I've found that my skin responds positively to an extra shower instead. My husband also likes it and we're going to stick with this brand going forward.

I've always used the giant mass of black soap and with me going off to school again, I wanted something a bit more simple without having to break off pieces in order to wash my body and hair. So, I decided to give the liquid soap a try. I was a bit skeptical at first because of all the extra ingredients (nothing harmful but extra) but I gave it a try.

I washed my hair, face and body with it and I got instant results like I did with my regular block of black soap and honestly, I'm hooked already! I used it four times and I'm already addicted, so just a few days after I made my original purchase, I bought two more bottles!

PROS: Excellent exfoliation, mild herbal smell (to preference), helps even skin tone a bit faster (with daily water intake), little is more (it only takes about a cap full to wash your entire body and the same amount to wash a thick head full of natural kinky coils).

CONS: It'll leave your skin ashy (smooth but ashy, I recommend using shea butter as a lotion), if you use too much of it in your hair, it can strip your hair dramatically of much needed moisture but if that happens, you can easily get that moisture back with a mild leave-in conditioner of your choice.

EDIT: I am 100% natural (4a/ Type O hair, thick density, thready texture, thin to thick strands vs LOIS system) and at the moment I have in yarn braids/genie locs (acrylic). And since using the product, I've noticed that my hair has thickened dramatically in the braids to the point of where the rapid growth is attempting to loc in my hair. I've had the braids in for 5 weeks and I'm immediately taking my hair out now.

BE CAREFUL IF YOU HAVE YARN BRAIDS OR ANY OTHER KIND OF EXTENSION!

I love this stuff. I steam clean my carpet with it, do my dishes with it (the peppermint one), do my laundry, wash my body, Clean the bathroom, tub, etc with it...even wash my dog..he has very sensitive skin and rash on his underbelly all the time and this seems to alleviate the irritation better than dog shampoo. I love the fact that is is harmless to the environment and it takes very little amounts to clean things. It's really emptied the under cabinets in the bathroom and kitchen, as this is the only cleaning agent I own now.

I'm 51 and my skin on my face has never looked more youthful..it's soft and smooth and people always comment on how beautiful my skin looks. I'd give it 10 stars if i could.

Lemongrass Patchouli & Neem Oil Soap - 4 oz - Bar Soap

Lemongrass Patchouli & Neem Oil Soap - 4 oz - Bar SoapRealmente es un buen producto para el cuidado de la piel grasa, sientes que limpia las impurezas sin dejar por largo tiempo una sensación acartonada en tu piel.

I am sad that my local natural food market has seen fit to stop carrying this product, even after repeated requests, so was thrilled to find it here. This is the absolute best soap for sensitive skin that I have ever used. It doesn't dry out your skin, even in cold weather, has minimal lather (which I appreciate), and smells divine! The Neem component seems to be the magic.

Pros: I have problematic skin, and this stuff helps. Very powerful soap.

side note: Smells planty, probably repels mosquitoes. Neem. Look up the benefits.

Cons: Way too expensive to buy regularly, and there is no value pack or subscription discount.

Recommendation: Try it if nothing else helps, but it is not an economically sustainable product at $8 a pop. More of a curiosity purchase. Would buy again if price was lowered, or value pack offered. Lemongrass / teatree soap is a better value, although Neem works better. I can vouch for Tom's and Nubian being acceptable alternatives.
