A gentle water-activated sudsing cleanser for dry, sensitive or mature skin. Ideal for individuals who like the feeling of soap and water without drying. Leaves soothing hydration to alleviate the feeling of tightness and/or dryness after washing.
When I first opened this cleanser, I was afraid maybe it wouldn't work well enough. When I see "gentle" and "sensitive skin" on the label of a product, a lot of times this means it is too milquetoast, and will leave make up and dirt residue on my face because it's not a strong enough cleanser to get the job done. When you live in a big city (or really if you work outside anywhere) your skin can get SO grimy so fast over the course of a day. Add to this a layer of make up and then top it off with my being the type of person that's always touching their face... well, you get the idea. My skin can get messy. But this is actually a pretty great facial cleanser considering I didn't even feel like I needed to moisturizer after using it. Usually my skin is desert dry and gets tight and itchy if I don't immediately apply moisturizer, so that truly says something. Just like the website describes, it really does have a 'soap and water' feel to it, but no after-effect that soap might leave you regretting. I even tried this out on a very sensitive skinned friend who swears she can only use cetaphil, and she now wants to buy her own bottle (because... well, I'm not handing this one over).
Dry Skin - A superior face and body bar - Our most popular!
Bar soap is something that is really easy to find, and sort of hard to make too badly. For one, I find it difficult to actually tell the difference between some higher-end bar soaps. It is good and works well or it doesn't. Usually it's sort of hard for them to be so much better that it gets my attention.
This one did. I absolutely love this bar, it is all natural, vegan, and all but one of the ingredients is organic. The soap itself is so gentle and soothing. There is none of that hard, icky feeling you can get after using a bar soap. The lather is delicate, granted, but it works and cleans. The oatmeal, I guess, and the essential oils leave your skin so hydrated I almost didn't have to use lotion after the shower! It is definitely gentle enough to be trusted on delicate skin, and especially good for people who can get irritated from soaps (like me). And the best part.... $3.99 for a generous sized bar. I love it.
Basis Sensitive Skin Bar: The original dermatologist-recommended Basis soap with soothing chamomile. This very caring, ultra-pure formula does more than clean sensitive skin. Natural calming agents chamomile and aloe vera soothe and comfort skin. No fragrances, dyes or other harsh ingredients. Rinses completely. Leaves skin clean, calm and comfortable.
DermStore price: $3.17 each - Free Shipping! Minimum purchase of 5 Sheba says: This is an ideal soap for sensitive skin. Once in a while I will experience a rash or an irritation that makes me run for the Basis soap. After a few days the problem will usually clear up. I love that it does not contain any fragrance. Even after rinsing other scented soaps completely off I can still smell their fragrance for a while. This really does help to calm the skin and you will feel a soft smooth texture to your face when using this. You can find this in any local store for a better price than shown on this web site. Even with free shipping you need to buy 5 and that is over $15. . . which is a bit much. I prefer to buy one bar at a time and if you look around you will find it at a very reasonable price and it does go on sale also.
