Many prodcuts made the acne worse and yet others irritated my face to the point ...
I have had adult acne combined with eczema and dry skin for the last 20 years. I have used every product and medication (except Accutane) to help my condition. Many prodcuts made the acne worse and yet others irritated my face to the point of misery. I decided to research the best reviews of products and I came across this soap over 1 year ago. I have used nothing else since. For me, this product was a miracle.I have only had 2 cysts in a year and they resolved within 2 days without the normal course of pain and suffering. My small comedones have improved tremendously and my eczema is so much better on my body as well.I gave a bar to my sister and she said it dried her face too much but she uses it with a washcloth and scrubs her face too vigorously anyway. I warned her that the washcloth combination with the mild exfoliating grains within the soap may cause irritation but she just doesn't listen! I find that using this soap with just warm water and gentle massage with the hands works great to remove makeup and clean my face.I tried using another brand and my face broke out quickly and I went right back to this soap. I love this soap. I wish I had found it 20 years ago. I also loved the Almond Shea butter but I only use those for the body and not the face. I keep planning to try the other scents but every time I go to order, I just get the 6 pack of the Dead Sea Bar Soap.Try this soap, it has great reviews, lasts forever in the shower and works wonderfully!

Nice light scent and moisturizing...lasts a long time
I liked the light scent and moisturizing feel of this soap. This bar seems to last a super long time. It doesn't disappear quickly like all my other bars of olive soap.

Natural, harmful ingredient free, affordable and pleasant soap although very harmful to the environment
Warning! Warning! Danger, Will Robinson! The palm oil used in this soap is highly destructive to the environment. Palm oil is grown on plantations cleared from rain forest, causing violations of indigenous people's rights, loss of plant and animal habitat which endangers species, soil erosion, global warming, and so on. Our close and adorable relatives the orangutans are being eradicated. Along with other rare species. Palm plantations are a major cause for loss of rain forest. Indonesia and Malaysia (where this oil comes from) have been found to use forced child labor in remote areas. The third world farm workers are exploited by the large refiners who pay them very little. One with Nature should switch to certified sustainable palm oil (CSPO) and palm kernel oil (CSPKO) even if it means raising the price a little bit.(One with Nature gets their palm oil from the Malaysian Government's "Malaysian Palm Oil Board", "The custodian of the Malaysian palm oil industry" which "forms the economic backbone of Malaysia ". It claims to "balance" sustainability with economic needs. It appears to mean that this is just the same as all unsustainable palm oil because it is not certified as sustainable by any NGO but has the cover of the Malaysian government to soothe consumers like us. The Malaysian palm oil producers have to wage their own public relations campaign to protect their business. I'm sure they also don't want to totally wreck their land which means they have to work towards sustainability. But IMO this doesn't mean that palm oil used by One With Nature is environmentally friendly, it's just the regular cheap harmful oil. Bye-bye orangutans.)Still I am not dropping the review stars because child labor and killing orangutans doesn't decrease the quality of the soap itself even though it's obviously a great reason not to buy it. I list some other good and safe bar soaps below that do use environmentally friendly oils. As much as this is my favorite soap after doing this research my conscience as atrophied as it is will make it hard to buy more.One with Nature does work with EcoPeace Middle East to promote cooperation among Jews and Arabs in protecting the environment and the Dead Sea in particular.Positives for this soap:* No harmful chemicals. Saponified vegetable oils like Castile soap with other natural ingredients. No harmful foaming agents. Only a few bar soaps are totally harmful chemical free, even of ones claiming to be natural.* There are some small bits of something like pumice in the soap that are pleasant and scrubbing but not harsh. It also has bath salts and mud built into the soap from the Dead Sea which I can't detect but may contribute to how well the soap works.* It sudses up well, rinses well, lasts a long time, and is pleasant to use. The large bar is easy to grip.All the one with nature soaps are great. The rose one has a great rose scent. The shea butter has lotion in it.It lasts longer and is more pleasant to use than the several "castile bar" soaps.South of France French Triple Milled Soap (made in the USA) South Of France Natural Bar Soap, Shea Butter, 6 Ounce or South of France Variety Gift Pack Sampler; 6 Assorted 6 Ounce Bars uses "Mass Balance" sustainable palm oil. The shea butter version is a very luxurious, silky soap that lasts a long time. $6 a 6oz bar is a good price. Mass balance not as good as certified sustainable but it does support sustainable cultivation. (You pay for sustainable palm oil but it can end up in a product that is not labeled sustainable instead of in what you bought. This saves a lot of tracking costs.)The really made in France French triple milled natural soaps I looked at on Amazon had artificial preservatives in them and palm oil they did not claim was sustainable. I am sure they are great soaps with great scents.Kirk's castile bar soap Kirk's Natural Castile Soap Original - 4 oz Each / Pack of 3 is much cheaper but a bar also doesn't last very long so it's a wash (haha). It makes a lot more suds though. Extra suds may not actually help clean but they are fun. Not drying. No palm oil only coconut oil. Coconut oil also has environmental impact but not nowhere near as much as palm oil.Dr. Bronners Castile bar soap Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps Pure-Castile Soap, All-One Hemp Lavender, 5-Ounce Bars (Pack of 6) is more expensive but is also organic and free-trade. Free trade means the farmers get a fair share of the profits. The palm oil and coconut oil used in Dr. Bronner's is sustainably harvested. It doesn't kill a single orangutan, pygmy elephant or sun bear because it comes from Ecuador not Malaysia or Indonesia. Dr. Bronner's wins the health, humanitarian and environmental impact awards.Ingredients for the Dead Sea Sea Mud bar from the One With Nature website:Ingredients: Sodium Palmate (Saponified Palm Oil), Sodium Palm Kernelate (Saponified Palm Kernel Oil), Water (Aqua), Dead Sea Mud (Silt), Sodium Chloride (Salt), Cinnamomum Cassia (Cinnamon) Bark, Glycerin (Vegetable Glycerin), Maris Sal (Dead Sea Salt), Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Argania Spinosa (Argan Oil), Citric Acid, Tocopherol (Vitamin E).Pricing: You can pay all kinds of prices for this bar. When I ordered this last time from One With Nature I paid $22.48 for A SINGLE BAR which I promptly returned. If you get all six like you are supposed to though this is a decent price, $4.07 per 7oz bar. The list price is $4.99. It's often more than that locally.

This soap arrived chalky and beat up
The media could not be loaded. I love the soap I used to use it when I lived in Maryland. I was so happy to find that Amazon had it so that I could use it here in California.When I’ve ordered it before it came perfect but lately it’s been really beat up. There’s no way I’m using this and I don’t even think it’s worth the hassle to send it back.

Great choice for sensitive skin/eczema/detox
This soap is excellent for anyone who has Eczema/sensitive skin. Bought it for me but a relative used it at my house that has Eczema & he said it was great. He wanted to find out where I got it so he could purchase it. Guys usually don't get excited about a soap so just wanted to throw that in there.I like using it to help exfoliate my skin & detox with the mud. I have sensitive skin & it works well for me too. It lathers up well & doesn't dry my skin out but I don't use it everyday either. I like this brand a lot, some of the scented soaps are hit or miss though. The soap itself is always really good but some of the scents either don't smell enough like the scent or they barely have enough scent to even detect. That may or may not be a plus to you. This one in particular doesn't have a scent other than the natural mud scent I guess you'd say.

Best soap EVER!!
This seller has the best deal on this soap… won’t buy from anyone else. Soap makes my skin so soft and keeps zits from forming. And soap lasts unbelievably long. I bought this 6 pack and gave 2 bars away and the 4 left will last me until the end of the year. Try it… you’ll love it!
