Here in NH, it has been getting very difficult to find liquid soap without anti-bacterial additives and perfumes. While we were aware of and preferred Ivory Liquid Soap over all others, our grocers and our drug stores ceased carrying it on a consistent basis, especially in larger, more cost effective sizes.
I resorted to Amazon, purchasing a six pack of Ivory Liquid Soap in the 16 ounce size. The price was competitive. It arrived very quickly using Prime shipping. Our household of two will not be running out of soap for a long time to come. I can end my futile searches of the confusing arrays on the liquid soap shelves at local vendors on every trip into town. What is this obsession with anti-bacterial poisons in liquid soap and all the added stinkums?
We use Ivory in our bathroom vanity soap dispensers and also in the shower soap dispenser. It has no offensive perfumes. It pretty much smells like the bar of Ivory soap we used when we were kids. Hands and body feel clean. The soap rinses off quickly, without leaving a slimy, persistent coating. It cleans up greasy work hands well. I use the soap for the occasional shampoo. It's strong, but it can't hurt a bristle cut like mine.
The only reason I gave this product a four star rating instead of a five is a problem that other reviewers have mentioned as well. You might experience some product leakage occurring during shipping. The caps are not screwed on very tightly and there is no membrane seal under the cap. Six out of six of our containers had leaked and were a sticky mess. Though we were lucky to not experience any catastrophic loss of product, others have. A simple hand tightening of each container before packing would take care of most of this problem. Thankfully, the product we are talking about is soap. It cleans up, as if one were using, uh, soap. I will still use this product and this source despite the leakage. I might change my mind if I receive half empty bottles of soap in a leaking box delivered by a cursing UPS agent.
