Simple Pure Soap

~~~~How Soap Works~~~ Soap is a blend of ingredients that remove dirt, oils, and bacteria from skin.. How it works is this way: Different ingredients in the soap serve different purposes. One part will be made up of ingredients that are water binding, and most of the rest will be fatty acids that are water repellent. Basically the soap grabs dirt, grease and bacteria and bind them to the particles that are also water repellent , and rubbing the skin in water causes it all to wash off into the water due to the water binding portions. Soap literally makes dirt and germs become slippery and to ... more

I do not have bad skin or sensitive skin, but I dont like using soaps that have a really acidic sense due to high amounts of fragrance (apart from Wrights Coal Tar soap or Shield). Somebody reccomended this to me, a friend, but I should have not taken up her reccomendation, as she is a woman who eats dry browm toast, maybe with a bit of flora if she's in a funny mood, and would not consider going anywhere near anything with any taste or smell! ~What does it look like and how much does it cost?~ Well, rather similar to the photo above this review! The packaging has changes somewhat however, and ... more

There aren't many skin and body care products that my dad has introduced me to, but Simple Soap is one of them. The brand was recommended to him by a nurse when he was having a medical treatment that required him to use products without added perfume. With the treatment over for the time being, he didn't want to see another bar of Simple again, nice as he found it.

I had been meaning to try the soap for some time in any case, because I have used other Simple products with success and I like to support a ... more

I have been using this soap for a while and find it to be very good. I have no problems with it at all, it's nothing outstanding but when I'm looking for a bar of soap to keep by the sink I'm not looking for something special so it does fine for me! The Simple range offer health and beauty products which are not full of promises and overly dressed to look like something special. Instead they remain 'simple' which is what I like as you get the impression you know where you stand with them. I like to keep a bar of soap beside the sinks in my house so that people can wash their hands properly if ... more

I suffer with really sensitive skin. I'm very prone to getting dry skin, my shins like to go greasy and lets not talk about spots! The other day though I got myself a hayfever rash right out of the blue. This really doesn't happen to me very often and I do have cream for it but boy oh boy were the spots huge on my neck and down my back and it made me feel really itchy and grimy. I was scared to use my ordinary shower gels and soaps on it for fear of making it all worse but of course I wasn't ill and still living my life like going to the gym and that so needed (and wanted!) to be clean! That ... more
