I have eczema and the prevailing medial opinion is to avoid sodium lauryl sulfate. The other recommendation is to avoid soaps with perfumes or dyes. Which bar soap should I select? The ones you have listed for sale all have a perfume in them. Hi Judy, My personal take on eczema is that it starts as a topical dermatitis and if left untreated can become infected ie “wet or weeping eczema”. If you have the more extreme form Porter’s Lotion is an excellent product to try. It is the original hand sanitizer from the 1890’s and it really works when…

Do you happen to sell the camp soap in one gallon containers? Thanks! Don Liquid sunshine is very close to camping soap. You can buy it in gallons, half gallons, 16oz or 8oz bottles.

You should think about making Neem toothpaste. An ayurvedic doctor on the Dr. Oz show recommended using Neem toothpaste, but the ones I found online have SLS, xylitol and other bad ingredients. If you do make it, please leave out peppermint or mint which I hate in mouth products. Neem is awesome. When I am teaching scientific soapmaking in Africa I always whittle Neem Toothpicks to floss my teeth with. The taste is a bit much but my gums love it. You know Janice, The Soapman loves foam; just not in one’s mouth. I am not a toothpaste guy. The…

does this not have a fragrance or odor to it Organic Rosemary Extract Good question! Rosemary extract is NOT rosemary oil and has no odor. It is the scentless preservative we use in all of our products. Thanks for asking.

Hi– Love your products (especially the Lemongrass Zen in all the varieties.) I notice that you seem to have discontinued the Lemongrass Zen Shower Gel in the 8 oz pump dispensers. Will you be restocking this? If not, does that also mean that you are discontinuing the Lemongrass Zen shower gel? Thanks very much-Len Hey Len, Thanks for the email and for your question. We do have plans to bring back Lemongrass Zen in the 8oz size later this year. Right now you can buy gallons of it on line – that is the only size we offer at the…

I have recently become very allergic to sodium laurel sulfate and a huge host of other items ………… I am looking for some type of soap for my laundry and cannot seem to find anything – what would you recommend? Can the Castile soap be used? In what amount per load? Any help would be appreciated greatly. Thank You Hi Barbara, Sorry to hear that you have a Reactive Body right now. Detergent sensitivity is more common than you might think. Unscented Castile liquid soap by the gallon (5 gal cube is the BEST buy) is great for laundry. Use…

I have purchased some cubetainers and was wondering if you sold some type of pump to get the product out of the container? Thank You. Hi Victoria, Open the portal (white plastic round thing taped to the box) and reach inside. There is a dispensing spigot right inside. Place the cube with the portal facing up to the sky and pull out the spout in there. Unscrew the spout and firmly screw in the spigot. Ready to go!

Hi, I really like your soap line. I was wondering if you had any plans to make a hand moisturizer line of products. All the natural lotions I’ve used do not leave my hands smooth. Would you happen to have any insight to what ingredients I should be looking for to find a better natural hand cream? I noticed that you have one moisturizer that contains Organic St. John’s Wort Extract. I prefer not to use it because I’m breast feeding and I’ve read that St. John’s Wort should be avoided. Also, I was looking at your products for private…

Hello, Question: Do your aloe baby, and unscented fragrance free cocoa butter bar soaps lather well? I have sensitive skin, as well as chemical sensitivities, and am searching for a gentle fragrance free bath soap. Hope to hear from you. Sincerely, Susan Hi Susan, The Unscented coco butter bar soap lathers pretty well, and it does have its fans. But my favorite is the Butter Bar. Fragrance free but it has a light herbal aroma from the inflammation soothing herbs we put into it. I have thin hair and use the Butter Bar instead of shampoo (and also for shaving).…

I have a jug of the Aloe Castile Liquid Soap. The info on label indicates that it can be used for laundry. How much would you suggest for one load of laundry? – thanks! All water, load size and degree of soiling vary, so here are some tips for you: If you can, get a little water into the machine, then add the soap, then add the laundry. Use directly on heavily soiled spots like pants knees. Warm and hot water is best for general cleaning. The rule of thumb is that you need just enough soap to make the…
