Bill, what are the ingredients of Cella? I've always been curious about this soap, does it have almond oil or anything like that in it?

Thank you! most sites don't have an ingredients list. My daughter has allergies to tree nuts/nuts so it's important that I don't bring anything into the house that could cause issues.

CAUTION!!!
Cocos nucifera = coconut.

I say "caution", because coconut is technically not a nut (it's considered a drupe).

Thanks, I was aware of that. FYI a peanut is neither a pea nor a nut, lol it's a legume....more worried about them

Peas are legumes too. So a peanut is a nutty pea

Wolf gave me a stick of this stuff. It lathers like WOW. Nothing faster, thicker, or smoother. My sniffer didn't find it offensive other than it does give off a lot of scent. Overpowering you could say. My best description would be ...."it's like shaving IN a soap factory".

Pups is right...I love me some Arko! It truly is one of the best for overall ease of lathering, etc. etc...Can't beat the price. I just can't see myself paying 50-70 bucks for MDC or other some such expensive soap. To me it's about choices:

I would rather have a $70.00 razor from the Bay that I can fix up into a nice shaver and a $1 stick of Arko than just a $70 tin of MDC any day of the week. Choices....

Besides Arko is versatile: I like to grate a stick of Arko into a bowl and then grate a bar of one of 'Mike's' pleasant smelling flavors into the bowl as well. Mix it and press it into a cake that will fit in a mug. Works great...smells great or at least much more pleasant than just the Arko soap smell alone, and lasts forever!
