Buy it if

  • You want one soap for body, hands and travel
  • You want a plain liquid with no added fragrance or detergents
  • You will dilute it and make a bottle last

Walk past if

  • Your skin is dry; owners report tight, rough skin and itching
  • You forget to dilute
  • You have small children in the bath; it stings if it reaches the eyes
