Are you a Bath & Body Works soap fan?

16 years ago

I know this sounds crazy, but I am a huge fan of B&BW liquid hand soap!

Link below in case you've never used it.

I use this at all the sinks in the house. Not only do they clean well, they smell good and most have a gritty substance to get grime off. And they purty up a room. :)

I tried saving money and bought other name brand liquid soaps, but literally ended up throwing them away and ordered more B&BW soap. lol

Plus, each bottle last a long long time. And they scent up the room you use it in!

Anyone else hooked on this stuff?

I use anti bacterial soap when I have rashes or feel itchiness but i ensure that I will also use Dove Liquid soap afterwards to moisten the skin. I also have my body spa once a month to scrub dead cells and rejuvenates my skin.

It's often the fragrance added to soap that is the problem, as well as synthetic detergents. Formulas for "soap" get changed all the time. DOVE sensitive skin, unscented, hypo-allergenic, and fragrance free - list of ingredients: sodium lauroyl isethionate, stearic acid, sodium tallowate or sodium palmitate, lauric acid, sodium isethionate, water, sodium stearate, cocamindo-propyl betaine or sodium C14-C16 olefin sulfonate, sodium cocoate or sodium palm kernelate, sodium chloride, tetrasodium EDTA, tetrasodium etidronate, maltol, titanium dioxide Compare that to a bar of Kirk's Castile Soap: Coconut Soap, Water, Vegetable Glycerin, Coconut Oil, Natural Fragrance - which is also hypoallergenic, all natural with no animal by-products or synthetic detergents. [Unfortunately, I can only use it in the shower, not the tub, with our hard water.] I make foaming soap for the hand dispensers by mixing 3 tablespoons Dr. Bronner's Castile Soap or Kirk's Castile Liquid (or other liquid soap) with 1 c. water. If you want to make it disinfecting hand soap, add 8 drops of Thieves Oil - especially during cold and flu season. Thieves oil is a natural disinfectant with an interesting story, but the oils are clove bud, lemon, cinnamon bark, eucalyptus and rosemary. You can make it with the individual oils (there are recipes available on-line), or purchase them already mixed - 5 Thieves Oil, 4 Thieves Oil (check Amazon.com). I just recently purchased a bottle of Mirai body cleanser. This liquid soap was designed for "older" people. I read recently "beginning around age 40, a personÃ¢ÂÂs body odor contains a higher concentration of 2-Nonenal, a compound that has an unpleasant, greasy, grassy odor that we affectionately call Ã¢ÂÂold-people smell.Ã¢ÂÂ So for every problem look for a solution, and for this condition it is persimmon extract, which lead me to information about Mirai. It really does make your skin feel great. I'm still in the testing stage. -Grainlady

I used to be a diehard Wallflower fan, back in the days when they were made by the White Barn Candle Company. Then Slatkin took them over and for the first couple of years they were OK. Now the scent only seems to last a couple of days and then you have 3 weeks of nothing. Lots of complaints on the Facebook discussion board about the poor quality of late. I too have switched to Febreze Noticeables. The scents aren't as sophisticated, but at least they last. Joann, I believe the scent you are referring to is Creamy Nutmeg. It used to be one of my favorites. Check the website for sales. They almost always have the two pack refills at $6 on sale. And the stores now carry 6 singles for $24. Hope you have better luck with the current ones that I did.

Been using Softsoap body wash, then the various store brands, whatever was cheapest. Got a sample bottle of Old Spice body wash a few years ago and have been buying it on sale and lately got the body wash/shampoo combo stuff on clearance for about 40Â¢/bottle. I like tht it's a clean but not overpowering smell and does seem to clean better than the generic stuff. Using dish soap mixed with water in a foamer bottle for hand soap now too. Haven't used bar soap for decades. Got sick of the scum.

Glad to find that other's like it too. They have really nice things on their site and store. Decently priced too.

At Christmas I buy the ladies in the family "girlie" socks.

Right now they're having a 6 for $20 sale on their soaps, I bought 3 for me and 3 for my DIL who is another fan.

I like them a lot too. Recently DD and I saw similar soaps at Bed Bath & Beyond and we bought a couple to try, but haven't used them yet.

I used to love that place but too many times I'd find something I really loved and they would discontinue it. I haven't been in that store in years.

OMG - don't let me near a BBW!

I don't use their hand soap, but the fragrance mist and triple moisturizing body cream is to die for.

I'm also totally addicted to their wallflowers and matching concentrated room fragrance spray.

I not only use their hand soaps, but their body wash, bubble bath, and body lotion. I wait till they have a sale.

Thanks for pointing them out. I need something new for soap, and will check them out. Sounds like a GREAT price.

I used to use their body cream/lotion, and loved it. Sometime got out of the scented stuff, skeeters like you so much more, when you smell pretty. :)

Going to some hand soap today.

Thanks

I love them - and always have the "Kitchen Lemon" in
my kitchen. I always have a small stash of the bottles,
in case I run out before I can get to the Mall. :)

I have "hooked" a couple of people on them, so I guess
I should have bought some of their stock. :)

I never used it, but have a friend who dashes in there every time we are at the mall to stock up on the stuff and raves about it. I always thought "It's just soap. What could be so different about it?"

I guess I will have to check it out.

Well, I am back. Rode my bike to the mall, 7 1/2 miles. Bought 6 bottles, three for my bathroom, three for Jerry's bathroom. Then on the way home I saw a beauty college, where there wasn't one back when I lived in OKC, and I stopped and got a haircut.

Now, need to hang out till evening to finish my yard work. To hot out.

oakleyok Thanks again for posting about Bath & Body Works.

I have sever allergies to many soaps and Bath & Body Works is one of the few I can use. Their BIG semi annual Big Yellow sale starts on Friday June 11! Make sure you get there!

Love them!! The biggest problem is choosing a scent, so you have to buy a lot. Sometimes they put them on sale even cheaper than those prices. My daughter used to work at B&B and they would get 60% off the sale price. I went crazy buying stuff then!!

I don't use antibacterial anything..I have one child that breaks out with it..and quite frankly warm water and a bit of regular soap works..

I do love Trader Joes Lavender and Chamomile liquid hand soap though.
