Thread: A Few All Natural Soap & Cream Recommendations

I think all these "natural soap" claims stretch the natural thing by quite a bit. There are chemicals that are natural based in part and often times they claim these. I'm just skeptical.

I use them together as an Uberlather with 5 drops of glycerin, Michael turned me on to them at one of the WA meets, I have been hard pressed to find anything that feels better on the face for me..

I am always skeptical on the "All Natural" claims too

The chances of Mitchells Wool Fat to be "all natural" are very small. It contains Sodium gluconate which is produced industrially. It also contains Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Limonene (natural D-limonene) and Hydroxycitronellal which may appear in natural ingredients but most likely synthetical. None of these are harmfull though. These inredients might still make it all natural because it is not a protected label and anyone can define it. I have not supervised their production but as a chemist I find the ingredients list to be revealing.

I wouldn't be surprised if manufacturers buy fatty acid processed industrially as well. I really don't care if makers claim that it's all natural. MWF is still a good soap with good ingredients. For me it's more important that soaps/creams does not contain SLS etc. Parabens are not proven to be harmfull but there are a lot of creams without them so I can easilly stay away.

Soaps that I have that might contain all natural ingredienta are: Boellis Panama and MdC.

The cream for fitjarsoap (not the soap which contain SLS) might be an option as well:

MDC and cella are two plainer soaps out there. They both probably have fragrance and a minimal number of ingredients.

I don't know if there are going to be any soaps that are created without sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. I have very sensitive skin, and cella agrees with me just fine, and it's cheap. It does everything that a shave soap needs to do - good cushion, excellent lathering without being greasy or slippery or being a pain to rinse off of a straight razor blade. It doesn't have the high dollar scents that some other soaps do, though.
