I mostly use an Oatmeal gentle bar soap, it suits my skin well..

I make my own soap. The ingredients are household lye and distilled water, olive oil, coconut oil and palm oil. I add lavender essential oil as a scent and I don't bother adding any coloring agents anymore. I make about ten pounds at a time, poured into bath soap sized molds and it's enough to last me for several years.

Lye soap and a stiff scrubbing brush, my, my, they make me as clean as a whistle, but the blisters take ages to go.

My grandma made soap, it had lye in it and a doctor told my Aunt that it was the best mildest soap for babies diapers. Grandma also washed all her clothes and was the envy of the neighborhood, because her whites were so white!

I have a basket of hotel soaps that I'm using up in the shower along with an oatmeal type liquid soap. The grandkids love to pick their little soaps and shampoos from the basket to use when they're here.
DH only uses Safeguard beige.
I like getting gifts of fancy soaps and I have learned to use them instead of saving them for ??
I use Cerave on my face. I buy bulk liquid soap for the hand dispensers in kitchen and bath.

I used to get given luxury soap for gifts.. , and as I didn't use bar soap I didn't want such expensive soaps to go to waste so I would put them in my underwwear drawer.. .. but oddly despite every magazine telling us different.. they never actually made my small smell of Shea butter or verbena.. or whatever beautiful scent they were supposed to smell of.. so instead I just used them as hand washing soap..lol

Ivory, I think. The white stuff in my shower, does the trick without any funny smells...

Safeguard beige!! I haven't even thought of that soap in so many years. I think I liked the scent. I may look for it, for old time's sake.

I have sensitive skin, but I like soaps with at least a little bit of scent in them and this one seems to be OK with my skin.

That's on my list of "to do someday."

I was thinking that about Camay! I think holly posted that.
It's getting hard to find the beige safeguard. He says the white bars are not the same.

I use Eggwhite Soap. My skin is super sensitive and this works well for me.

I've never heard of that particular soap but it reminded me of a soap that we had as kids called Knights Castille.... it was a very popular bar soap..I haven't thought of it in years. I wonder if they still sell it...

Sista.. that looks very pretty does it actually smell of Chamomile flowers ?

It isn't really very difficult. A recipe (formula) is essential. One needs a digital scale, a culinary thermometer and the ingredients are mostly available at a grocery store. I use the "Rooto" brand drain opener for the lye......it's pure household lye; Ace Hardware carries it.

Mildly, yes. Super gentle, doesn't leave my dry skin feeling drier.

I would get it just for the box! But I'd like the soap too.

 

[RadishRose]

Looks good enough to eat. It's long, so FF until near the end to see the bars being cut- they're beautiful.
