For cleaning power in the shower, this soap works without the addition of fragrances to scent up the bar. This is great for those who have skin allergies or sensitivities. However, it will require the use of moisturizer afterward because it feels like it strips most of the dirt, oils, and the moisture out of the skin. It is way too drying to be used on the face as a facial cleanser. That may not be a deal breaker, but it is one of the pricier options on the market at nearly six dollars for a 100g bar.
