I’m sorry to leave a negative review but I keep getting emails asking me to leave a review. I hadn’t had eczema on my legs since I was 6, and at age 32 after using this soap for two months, I gradually started getting eczema spots all over my legs. I stopped using the soap but since they were already triggered they aren’t going away. Dermatologist couldn’t fully confirm that it was definitely from the soap, but agreed it was eczema. I purchased 5 to support, but will be donating them as they are too harsh even for a hand soap. I read that olive oil can disrupt the skins natural oils but imagine baking soda or cleaning agent can do the same for sensitive skin.
