   The Kiss My Face line seems to be your best value. The bars I’ve had (limited quantities) have been enormous - and certainly look like they’ll last a long time.

   Yes — I was amazed when I saw it was a chunky 8 oz. bar…

   I tried a vegan soap recently. It was really good. It is at http://www.yodelingfish.com and I loved it. Way better than kiss my face which to me has a funky smell

   My favorite vegetarian soap is Neolia. It is made from extra-virgin olive oil, has no animal ingredients like most other soaps and smells amazing. I buy it from http://www.neolia.com.

   Neem oil, known in the tropics as “the village pharmacy”, is the principal ingredient in One Village Neem soap, approved by the Vegetarian Society UK, and available worldwide from Onevillage.com

   A good soap for people with sensitive hands is Superdrug Pure. It’s unperfumed, and you can buy it from any Superdrug shop in the United Kingdom.

   I am desperate!
   Where may I buy Neolia bar soap as of 9-1-05. I just found it five months ago, and now it is not available at my local Wal-Mart. It is the ONLY bath soap that did not add to my eczema in the past in five years. For some reason, the Neolia shower gel activates the eczems; the bar soap does not.

    Hi I saw Neolia and i was excited… but after getting a box, i found out that Neolia has the same ingredients as any other soap bar out there. Except the fact that olive oil is used instead of animal fat. neolia still contains bleaching agents, fragrance and other synthetic harsh ingredients. If you dont belive me, pick up a box and compare it to other soaps. its all the same. Stick to kiss my face in my opinion

    I make 100% vegetable oil soaps and have several psoriasis/eczema/chemotherapy patients who are long time customers. They keep coming back, so I feel confident that something good is happening for them. I specialize in moisturizing combinations that appeal to both men and women. http://www.ozarksoaps.com

    Kiss My Face contains SALT which is a skin irritant and eye irritant listed on its MSDS spec sheet. You can find basic organic soaps online, but they are often irritating too, because finding the correct formula to remove all lye in natural saponified soap is tough. The ONLY soap I buy now is by Organic Soap and Spa - has about 100 products online at http://www.OrganicSoapAndSpa.com. They are natural vegetable based soap that is then double and triple processed for extra moisturizing and essential oils added. When these are added to the regular ’soap making’ process the oils are chemically changed and lose much of the reason you would want them in the first place. Its a chemical reaction, for heavens sake. So, you have to have them added after the saponification process. This is labor intensive, and most ‘natural’ soaps stop after the initial ’soap making’ part. There is a HUGE difference.

    How about Jason products, they claim to be organic but are they truly?? Has anyone tried this line, let me know what you think or how it worked for you.

    LUSH also makes a lot of vegan soaps, shampoos, shower gels, bath products, etc.

    I like Kiss My Face but also recently started using Kirk’s Castile (www.kirksnatural.com). No animal products or animal testing. I buy it at King Soopers.

    I think that Osco-Jewel sells Neolia soap. I’d like to give it a try, but I do like and mostly use Kiss My Face (olive aloe). But remember that if you let it soak too much, it will turn to mush. You might also want to try some of the tea tree oil soaps, which are great for skin conditions. Thursday Plantation and Desert Essence make some good ones. The smell is a bit funky (paint or stinky washcloth?) but I find it to be refreshing once you get used to it. Finally, it may be best of all to just find a local soap maker and then you can be sure of the ingredients — or try making your own!

    Green Pergola makes excellent soap that is vegetarian friendly. No animal products and they appear to be a pretty “green” company.

    My husband loves the garden gate soap and now won’t use anything else. We buy them online at http://www.greenpergola.com

    Betty Grove says that Superdrug PURE soap can be bought at an of the shops. Unfortunately that is not quite true as it is not stocked by my local shop in Farnworth, which means I have to travel to Bolton to get supplies. Because of this I buy around 20 bars at a time which can be pretty heavy to carry to the bus stop or car park for someone of my age, 78. I have used it for years as I am allergic to perfume and Lanolin. I suffered from very sore skin but that problem has been solved with PURE soap and an abosute ban on fabric softeners. Unfortunately softener has now been added to my favourite ACDO soap powder so I will have to lookfor an alternative which is a nuisance. Perhaps Superdrug will take up my cause and supply my local shop.

    I make my own all natural, plant derived soaps. You need to be careful when purchasing from larger companies…such as LUSH which uses strong detergents in their soaps.
