Every bar I have received is so gentle, smells so good and lathers well. I have an issue with other natural soaps not lathering well, but this brand. These soaps are good, lots of bubbles.. My skin feels softer and has less irritation from shaving. The owner was very sweet and helpful when I messaged about my daughters sensitive skin. I enjoy knowing and trusting that I am getting natural homemade soap for my family. Love this brand.
