When Your Old Soap Stops Working for You

I did not switch to Dr Bronner’s because it was trendy. I switched because my previous soap was making me miserable.

The soap I had used for years, a well known mainstream brand, started making my skin unbearably itchy. It felt like I was crawling out of my skin after every shower. I suspect it has something to do with the water in Dubai, because this started after we moved here. Whatever the cause, I needed to find something gentler and I needed to find it quickly.

Dr Bronner’s Pure Castile bar soap was the answer.

Gentle, Clean and Worth Every Dirham

Since switching, the itching has stopped completely. My skin feels calm and comfortable after every wash, which is exactly how it should feel. Because the formula is made with regenerative organic certified oils and contains no synthetic detergents, it works with your skin rather than against it.

I will be honest with you. This is not a cheap product. However, when you compare it to other non toxic body washes on the market, it is actually more cost effective. You get a variety pack of eight bars covering almond, lavender, peppermint, citrus, rose, tea tree, eucalyptus and unscented. That variety means you can find your favourite or simply rotate through them.

It is vegan, fair trade certified and free from harsh chemicals. For anyone with sensitive skin or anyone who is mindful about what goes on their body daily, this is a switch worth making.

My skin is happier. That is all I need to know.
