The least drying hand soap

[skybluee]

Hi,

I'm looking to get a new soap, but I want one that's the least drying on my hands.

• fragrance free
• in a bar, not liquid soap

Ones I've tried so far:
simple
various supermarket own brand fragrance free ones

• faith in nature soap from Amazon

I was thinking of trying a neem soap, but a bit concerned it may smell.

Does anyone have any recommendations?
Would prefer it not to be really expensive.

Dove

Johnsons do a honey baby soap that's v mild. Let me think... I'm sure there's another!

Remembered!
Dr Bronner, Aveeno, faith in nature all do unfragranced bar soap

Second the Johnson's baby honey, I found it by accident and my hands are so much better this winter.

Marseille French soap

Another vote for dove

My hands are prone to eczema and so have tried loads - I get on best with one that has aloe Vera in it Eg carex or green tea/aloe method foaming

Also get the aveeno 24h hand cream if you have dry hands it's amazing

Oh sorry didn't see you said "in a bar"

Burt's bees do a baby bar, but I find it dries my hands more than my liquid soap. Maybe something from lush, they might be able to make a recommendation?

Dr Bronner. Transformed my hands last winter and I've used it ever since. I've not used the bar though, only the liquid soap.

Dove is technically a detergent bar, similar to shower gel and not a soap.

l’occitane Shea butter or lemon verbena.
Lovely not drying and lasts ages!

I second loccitane shea. Soap. Excellent.

I get eczema and use the olive oil bar soap from Body Shop. Seems like the best so far.

Dr Bronner the baby unscented bar. I wash all over with this and my skin never feels dried out. Even wash my makeup brushes with it.

This grape and black seed oil soap is absolutely amazing!
I bought it when everybody started raving about bar soap on here and now use it as hand soap, face wash and in the shower.

Vote for imperial leather here, massively improved my hands when I was on maternity leave xx

White Company is nice and lasts well.

I like Faith in Nature Pineapple and Lime a lot.

Also like Dr Bronner.

Herbivore do some lovely ones, especially the charcoal one.

TK Maxx usually has a wide selection of natural soaps. Read the ingredients and look for the ones that are olive oil and sodium hydroxide only. Essential oils are also fine. Any other ingredients are the problems that make your hands dry. There are usually loads and they're cheap.

Pears.

Another vote for Pears. It's lush - my dad gets bad excema/cracked skin on his hands and used to get me to stockpile Simple (he's in Oz). When he was staying with me this year, he used the Pears and loved it

L'Occitane Milk Shea
It has the mildest smell , they are all moisturising though.
I love the Verbena , sadly missing the Cinnamon&Orange

I have dermatitis on my hand and get Cetroben on prescription but you can buy OTC.

L'Occitane bar soap - the milk one is my favourite. I use it all over.

Although I usually get some Marseille soap for hands, I like the olive ones.

Another vote for Pears.

I think I got 4 bars for £2 in Savers. Lasts forever too.
