veggie based soaps with less coconut oil and "most" cold process soap might be for you.

A french king killed his soap makers because he had sensitive skin. Those that remained got together and came up with a salt cured soap that lathered up nicely and worked wonders for his complection. The remaining soap makers were allowed to live.

You may want to try "salt saponified" soaps if your skin is overly sensitive.

BTW, who's the donor that I have to thank?

You can Thank Cudahogs for the donation.... What I have discovered tho is that Nigerian Green Musk is a Fragrance Oil, not an essential oil. It is still very expensive... My soaps are all glycerin soaps and are extremely mild. In some cases they can be too mild and that is when I would go to a CP (lye) soap, which I LOVE but don't use on my face. I will make up a batch of shaving soap with this fragrance and we can go from there...

If you have dryness caused by conventional soaps... make sure that you are actually using soap! The bars you buy in the store are labeled luxury bars, deoderant bars, etc etc etc are not soap, they are detergent! If it does not say SOAP, then it is not soap. I only use CP soaps that are superfatted because my skin dries out pretty easily also. I also sell real soap on my ebay store and there are many other people that do also... you should take a look, but my suggestion would be to switch to hand made soap... it is the only real soap....
