Soap

Call me old fashion, but I prefer a bar of soap over body wash. For the past 5+ years I have used Dove Sensitive Skin Bar Soap to wash my face and body. I used it on my face because it is extremely gentile and never made me breakout. I used it on my body because I loved the way it lathered up in a washcloth and never made my skin feel "squeaky" after washing myself. However, since learning that Dove is not vegan or cruelty-free I had to change brands. Since the beginning of the year—after learning that I had to replace all of my favorite brands—I have tried so many different types of soap. I have tried soaps from Honest Amish, Sappo Hill, random samples from my Vegan Cuts box, and many more. I found this bar of soap at my local Sprouts store and said 'what the heck' and gave it a try. I purchased the scent Indonesian Patchouli and Sandalwood—mostly because they were sold out of most other flavors. It sat on my shelf for a couple of months, but when I opened the packaging I was immediately impressed by the smell. It was powerful, but not overpowering. When I began using it in the shower I was pleased with how well it lathered with a little water and a washcloth. Once I rinsed it off I didn't feel squeaky and I noticed the fragrance on my skin even the next day. The smell of this particular scent is almost nutty with a undertone of spicy black pepper. It is probably one of the more masculine scents, but I enjoy it for a change. The best part is, it is gentile on sensitive skin. I didn't breakout, become itchy, or notice any redness. I can't wait to try out different scents and see which become my favorite!
