"I must admit I gave up on bar soaps ages ago, even for my hands. I humbly and happily eat crow! The Kukui Glycerine Soap felt like silk, not like soap! I used it with my loofa mitt and it cleaned like a dream, but didn't leave my skin tight or dry."

If you are suffering from dry flaky skin despite the constant application of moisturizers and frequent bathing, it could be due to the nature of the soap you are using. Mass-produced commercial soap that is usually sitting on the shelves of your local grocery or department store is not actually soap - it's a form of detergent. Instead of natural vegetable oils, these " detergent soaps" are actually made fromh petroleum. In addition, these types of "soaps" may retain the caustic lye used in processing as well as potentially irritating perfumes.
GLYCERIN SOAP, however, is a sound choice for people with sensitive and/or delicate skin. Glycerin soap is known as a humectant - it actually attracts moisture, leaving your skin hydrated and supple. Beyond hydrating your skin, glycerin is also known to be a natural remedy for yeast and fungal infections, such as eczema and psoriasis. They also don't contain synthetic ingredients that cause skin irritations keeping your skin looking and feeling healthy and soft.
Glycerin can be animal, vegetable or synthetic. All of our KUKUI Glycerin Soaps are made with vegetable-based glycerin and have the added benefit of the moisturizing affect of kukui oil. Check them out at Oils of Aloha KUKUI Glycerin Soaps.
