Thread: A Few All Natural Soap & Cream Recommendations

Can you fellas give me a few recommendations on the all natural side of things?. Soap and cream recommendations will be much appreciated. Thank you!

Mike?s Natural Soaps

Contains tallow, which gives me a great shave. I REALLY like the Bay Rum, but he has lots of scents. Very reasonable too.

I get suspicious of any product that describes itself as "all natural" as it usually turns out to be a bunk claim. Most true all natural (aka "artisan") products do not lather well at all; I suspect some of the more unnatural ingredients help out in this area.

Sorry that I can't be of any more assistance...

Have you tried the search feature? I did a quick search of "natural" in the Soaps & Creams forum and came up with 259 results to browse.
I feel like this question comes up every couple of weeks...
That being said,
Al's Shaving makes some phenominal products that I really like and enjoy, Al is also a member here.
I'm also a big fan of L'Occitane. It's organic and all natural and works splendidly. Currently have a sale for a 1oz cream and a 1oz ASB for $20 from their website. It's well worth it.
I would imagine that Mitchell's Wool Fat is also natural and I think Nancy Boy may be as well.
I'm probably missing a bunch of options but those spring to mind as I have experience with the first two and the second two are on my list for next year.

Chanting in my head ~~**I don't need more soap.... I don't need more soap,,,,~~** They sound good to me :<0) Dog that I am, I want to smell everything.

I have not tried the search feature, do forgive me.

Try Prairie Creations, CRE Loaded 6 - Prairie Creations It's all natural and tallow based. I don't care very much for Mikes. Many like it though.

Mitchell's wool fat is a good one too and Nancy Boy.

MDC or Martin De Candre from France, (on the expensive side) has only six ingredients.

I'm not sure if these soaps really fall into the "All Natural" Category. PC, Mikes, Nancy Boy and MDC are hand crafted, but they do use soap makers indredients.

Actually, if you Google "All natural shave soap" you'll get pages and pages of hits....

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.

Try these two from Escentials

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:
