Look at the ingredients and compare it with others. The olive oil content is superior and it is much more nurturing to the skin than coconut oils are. Coconut oils can be very drying which can be very good for certain things. But in skincare products I want mine to be moisturizingWe've only found a few soaps that don't make my husbands Seborrheic dermatitis go crazy:1. Dr. Bronner's The cheap stuff still burns his skin, but the sugar soaps2. Hard lye bar soaps. Not nice on the skin.3. This soap.The one thing they all have in common is that they do not have SLES: From Wikipedia: "Sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), an accepted contraction of sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES), also called sodium alkylethersulfate, is an anionic detergent." And it's in like every single soap, except... those listed above. And this one is really low cost and gentle.If you have Seborrheic dermatitis (itching around places where hair meets skin, like ears, scalp, moustache, beard line, then give this stuff a try.You only need a few drops in a whirlpool bathtub; stronger than Dr. Bronner's. Otherwise it will SUDS up. Or you can dilute it.Of course, you want to know how it compares to the long-time mainstay. Compared to good old Dr. B, it's...different. But very nice. Both are high-quality, organic soaps. Soap is a very personal thing, so keep that in mind. You're basically comparing a coconut/palm oil soap (Dr. B) with an olive/coconut soap (Carolina). My hope was that the Carolina Castile Soap would be less drying to skin, making it comfortable for shaving and shampoo. I can say that for these uses, Carolina Castile Soap delivers.Compared to ordinary shampoo, for me, olive castile feels a little "gummy" going on. I ignore that - it's because it isn't sucking the oil out of my hair. When it dries, my hair feels good, clean, and my scalp remains comfortable for days. Very good for a general-purpose soap! Less need for expensive specialty organic shampoos.For shaving, I find it excellent. Dr. B works well as a shave soap, too, but the Carolina is easier on my skin. Wet shaving is a super-individual thing. My preference is for fast-and-easy, and castile soaps are great for this. A dollop of soap in my palm, roll the damp brush in it, then build the lather on my face. A little sudsy, not Santa Claus. Some say this stuff is harsh if you get it in your eyes. That's probably true, so don't do that! It's castile soap, not baby shampoo! I've used both the lavender and the peppermint versions, and they both feel great and give an excellent shave.Is it delicate enough for your nether regions? Well, that depends a lot on your local water, and your regions. I find it gentler than Dr. B, but our water is hard...real hard. By the time it reaches the tap, our water's done a couple of years in juvy, and is lookin' at time for Grand Theft Auto. So, dependin', you might want to keep your beauty bar around for that sort of thing.Smell is a very personal thing, so YMMV. I like the Carolina scents. Different from Dr. B, but good. The olive oil in the base affects things, a little. Coconut/palm is probably a wee bit more neutral, but we're not talkin' pasta, here. I buy this as soap, not perfume, so I'll trade a few flowers for happier skin. You might find it useful to consider that, while peppermint is something of a mild topical anesthetic (and has that great chill), lavender is a little gentler to skin, and is a good "go to" when that's the main issue.All in all, the Carolina Castile Soap company is producing some very nice stuff. Worth checking out. A little competition in the castile soap market isn't a bad thing. Dr. B still makes great products (including toothpaste and detergent) and is always fun to read, in that VW microbus kinda way. But Carolina is the real deal, too, and worthy of a place on your shelf.I Love that it's all natural, since I am chemically sensitive. Effective too! A great value for the price.I've used this soap for bathing for years. Works great !Oh, wow. I just love this versatile Carolina peppermint castile soap!I have sensitive skin and am always on the hunt for hand soaps that won’t make my skin break out. When visiting my sister (who has 3 kids and understandably burns through a lot of hand soap with all the constant handwashing), I noticed that she had a big jug of another similar castile soap of another brand, and she was always refilling her dish wand and soap dispensers with it. I loved it, but was a little off-put by the price of it when I looked it up on Amazon. Somehow, I stumbled on this brand, which was a little more economical. I’m glad I did!First off, this feels like a thin liquid and almost like water, but a tiny bit goes a long way with this one. I was putting this in normal soap dispensers, and was shocked at how much luxurious lather I got from one little squirt. The first squirt, I was worried about how it felt (so watery) until it lathered immediately. Rinsing this off my hands, they feel refreshed with the slightest of tingles. When I checked the back of this very large jug, it gives you instructions for making this into a foaming soap, too - which will make this stretch even further.The peppermint scent is amazing, and this cleans amazingly well while still leaving your hands feel soft. My husband has a “dirty” job and often comes home with grease, mud, and other junk on his hands. He used this once and was stunned. “Wow, what is IN this stuff? It’s amazing!” he said. It cleaned his hands thoroughly in one or two pumps (something that normally would take 3-4 times as much to get his hands clean).I absolutely am obsessed and in love with all mint scents - peppermint, spearmint, whatever...and likewise for taste as well. This soap satisfies my love for all things mint. :) I look forward to washing my hands each and every time.Overall, this is just a fantastic and amazing soap that I feel is BETTER than another well-known, more expensive name brand that also sells peppermint castile soap. It lathers better, smells better, and you can’t beat the better savings for what you’re getting. I can wash my hands in this all day long with no issues whatsoever, which is quite a feat as normal hand soaps break my hands out after only 1-2 washes. I love - LOVE - love this soap! I would give it 10 stars if I could!Smells beautiful. Would buy again.Prodotto arrivato nei tempi prestabiliti, corrispondente alla descrizione.Dire i mille usi per cui io lo impiegato....sarebbe lunga la lista ma comunque posso accennarne i principali :Per il bucato lavatrice/mano ottimo direi senz’altro, indumenti lavoro molto sporchi puliti senza problemi ?Per lavare i piatti ottimo sgrassa che è una meraviglia, per pulizie in generale pavimenti oppure diluito come sgrassante fa il suo dovere in modo ineccepibile.Unica pecca è il costo e non fa molta schiumaPerò un’ottima alleato... so che è molto buono anche come detergente a livello di igiene personale... ma io nn lo ancora provato.Sicuramente lo consiglio come acquisto, come un ottimo prodotto.This liquid soap is a little less thick than most of the others I've used but it definitely does the job and with less. The lavender smell isn't shy, this stuff definitely wants to remind you its lavender every time you use it which is quite pleasant.Works great for the usual uses of liquid soap and 3.8 litres will last you out of the latest global pandemicSicuramente non è economico, ma considerando che ne basta veramente poco sotto la doccia.Nessuna reazione allergia sulla pelle e piacevole profumo, unica pecca è molto liquido, quindi a volte non di facile gestione.We have used the soap for shampoo, hand cleaner and as a general cleanser. You could dilute it as it lathers up readily or use as a base to clean in the home. It is not thick and we added a pump attachment to make dispensing easy. I love that it is eco friendly yet very effective.
