I had to convince myself to pick up the computer to get this post done. I think mostly because I am just not excited about reviewing this soap. I like Irish Spring- the original scent and I thought this was that but just with extra moisture. I probably should have read the packaging before purchase- but who does that?

This is a men's cologne type of scent that I thought smelled nice out the box. But just after I started actually using it- I really started super disliking this soap. It reminded me of a nicer men's soap I bought not too long ago from Hawthorne. This is just the worse version of it. If I don't like a scent I just use it on my hands.
I just realized it might sound like I use mens soaps all the time- I don't. I am just kinda curious on some of the scents- sometimes I expect more earthy or woody scents which I'm interested in- but mostly never like. But I guess I'm giving it a shot anyway.
It does melt fast. Speaking of melt- I did try to use it as a hand soap and keeping it by the sink really softens the soap until it turns to mush. It just seems to swell with moisture. Very odd and another thing to dislike about it.
It is moisturizing though. I have no dry skin whatsoever when using it. Elbows and knees are just smooth and hydrated without lotion.
I would usually banish a soap I don't like to use as a makeup brush soap. But I hated the way this left my brushes feeling. It just made them all stiff where they might otherwise be fluffy with easy movement.
Oh..almsot forgot! The soap scum. These bar soaps tends to produce so much soap scum that just sticks to the shower. So I have to clean the shower more often...
It has some ingredients I don't love- petrolatum, hydrogenated stuff....but it also has things like Linseed oil which I believe to be good for the skin.
Ingredients:
Soap (Sodium Tallowate and/or Sodium Palmate, Sodium Cocoate and/or Sodium Palm Kernelate), Water, Glycerin (Skin Conditioner), Hydrogenated Tallow Acid, Petrolatum, Coconut Acid, Fragrance, Sodium Chloride, Polyquaternium-6, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Pentasodium Pentetate, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Corn Starch Modified, PEG-12, Mineral Oil, Propylene Glycol, Polysorbate 80, Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides, Ultramarines.
Overall, I kinda hated it. Of the varieties I have tried I think the Aloe was my favorite and this was my least favorite. I'm off to use the rest of it...I really overused it and let it run on the water to get it to melt even fast.
