Kirk's Castile Bar Soap 12 Count (Pack Of 1

Kirk's Castile Bar Soaps are one of those items you can easily pass up and not ever know how good it is. For years I've seen my local Walmart carry this product, but the packaging looked so plain and simple that I always passed it up for the more bright and colorful packaged soaps. Luckily (or unlucky) I had a bad case of contact dermatitis and every bar soap and body wash I tried made it flare up even more, I guess do to the fancy smelling scents and dyes. My derm recommended a castile soap, Kirk's in particular. IT WAS SMOOTH AND CREAMY AND HEALING. A plain good ole soap without the fancy colors and scents that cleanses the body and leaves you feeling clean but not dry or itchy. I still enjoy soaps with scents but always go back to Kirk's when I have skin flare ups.

My boyfriend bought a 3 pack of this bar of soap at the beginning of our eco-friendly journey and I must say, this soap has done great. As far as the plastic film around the soap, the bar is obviously much more planet-friendly than buying plastic bottles. The soap itself works great and does not leave any harsh residue or griminess. Gentle enough to use on my children; I am 100% satisfied with the soap. Now, if they could switch from the plastic wrap altogether, I'd be hooked on buying from em!

Best leather cleaner

I only have pro words for Castile soap. I used this soap to clean all my leather horse tack. Nothing removes mold on leather better than this soap. I take a nice soapy washcloth and thoroughly clean every inch of my tack. I completely take apart bridles, saddles, martingales, etc and scrub it all down. Then I dry it with a towel. I leave it to air dry for an hour or so and then I take a good leather conditioner and I apply it generously with an old Tee-shirt. Your tack will be as soft and supple as leather can be.

Best soap ever!

I just LOVE this soap and wouldn't use anything else. It's mild, creamy and has a beautiful, foamy texture. As an added bonus, it's cruelty-free and has no palm oill, which is what is killing the Orangutans, even if it's so-called sustainable palm oil, which doesn't really exist. Believe me, I've seen firsthand what is happening to the forests in Indonesia and Malaysia and it's a great tragedy for the Orangutans. So please don't buy ANY products with palm oil in them. Also, commercial soaps have animal fat in them. Yuck! Finally, Kirk's is a family business and I like to shop small.

Disappointment

This lot should have been recalled. It was labelled "Fragrance Free" but ended up being heavily perfumed. It was obviously a mislabel. I have been using this soap for many years. I e-mailed Kirks a month ago but received no response. I called Swanson. Customer Service. She took the information and the lot numbers on the packages, but that's where it ended. There was no offer to make it right as I expected there would be. I've ordered from Swanson many times in the past, but now I'm reconsidering the future. The soap is fine for showering, but the fragrance will taint things I use it for in the kitchen. There are not many sources for the soap around Long Island, but I will need to travel to one to make sure I get what I need.

Fragrance free cleanness

This soap is indeed fragrance free and I feel clean after using it.I also use it as a shampoo (and with a conditioner afterwards) and it foams quickly to create the volumetric feel that one is accustomed to have with shampoos. Use it as a shampoo at your own discretion though.When wet, it softens and when put on a soap tray with undulations the next day it becomes depressed. I suppose it's not a big issue but I prefer harder soaps for my travelling toiletry.

Good

If you have to wash your body, this does the trick somewhat guilt free. Just reestablish your sebum layer the next day. Also safer for babies. Very sensitive to fragrances and I can't detect anything on my end.

Highly Recommended!

I can't live without this soap! I've been using Kirk's Original Castile Soap since the early 80's. As a teenager, I had terrible skin and acne. After going through several acne products and soaps, nothing really worked. Until, one day my mom came across this soap and told me to try washing it three times a day and I did. Within a week, the acne was gone and my face was brighter and smoother. I am very satisfied with the results of this product. Oh, btw... It does tend to make your skin a lil dry, due to it taking out all the oil

Surprised & Happy About My Purchase

I am a first time buyer of Kirk's OG Fragrance Free Coco Castile Bar Soap 4oz (bought it on the 18th of April 2016). As someone who has only recently in my life time had to deal with backne, acne on my arms and heat bumps. A friend told me about this product and I have to say, after several uses my backne. arm acne, and heat bumps have reduced in size and are going away after each use.This soap lathers very well and doesnt dry quickly which I love. I made sure to cut the soap into quarter sizes so I only use 1/4 of the bar. After reading reviews on how mushy the soap can get after several uses I wanted to make the bar last longer which is why I only use 1/4 of the bar at a time.This bar of soap is unscented and I have to agree, it does leave my skin very dry. ... MoreI am a first time buyer of Kirk's OG Fragrance Free Coco Castile Bar Soap 4oz (bought it on the 18th of April 2016).

Use a good moisturizer afterward and you will be alright. Have not used this on my face as I am acne prone but will continue to use this product on my arms and back. If this bar continues to work I will keep buying this product in the near future.Thanks iHerb for offering this bar for the great price!4/5, would have been a 5 if it didnt leave my skin so dry.
