    Go back to the old formula! What corporate geniuses came up with the idea of "messing with success" to paraphrase? I agree with all the comments in the negative one star reviews and after using Ivory all my adult life, I will look for another soap. Congratulations, geniuses.

    Disappointing… yet another brand from my youth that has become more toxic and less effective. It smells weird and leaves a tacky, white residue even when used with an exfoliating mitt. I only picked this up because of the lack of selection at a store while traveling, what a mistake. I’ll stick with my Jāsön. You don’t need these caustic chemicals or “fragrance” to make effective soap. We all know “fragrance” is a catch all for banned and poisonous chemicals that do not need to be disclosed due to its “proprietary” formula. Well done P&G, we know your true mission. The rumors from the 80’s don’t seem so crazy anymore. I’ll have nothing to do with your products going forth. I hope the rest of the world wakes up to your nefarious objective

    Ivory soap is not Ivory soap any longer. It is a completely different soap. This new soap is very slippery. I am trying to get through the stock that I have and several times I started to slip in the shower, which scared me. I also have a difficult time just keeping it from slipping out of my hand while I am in the shower. Good luck to all, it's sad what happened to this product and what is happening to American business.

    For 60 years I’ve used Ivory bar soap exclusively. It was my constant in a changing world. But not any more. This new formulation is waxy, smaller, smells weird… It’s an entirely different product and should no longer be called Ivory. Why did the company dupe me into buying a product that was mislabelled as my beloved Ivory? An honest company would change the product name and package design when they so drastically change the product. I am dreading my search for a new soap as I have multiple sensitivities. Please, just call this a failed experiment and go back to the original formula! Zero stars for this product.

    After over a century, no more Ivory soap

    1 out of 5 stars
    Ex-loyal customer - 23 days ago
    originally posted on ivory.com
    Image
    My family starting with my grandma, then my mom, and finally me, altogether faithfully used Ivory bar soap for over a century. Sadly, that tradition is over. The original Ivory was always a reliable 5 star product and a daily constant for all of my 67 years of life. My mom and grandma passed away years ago, but they too used Ivory on their babies and throughout their lives. I tried to do the math and came up with roughly 5000 as the number of bars my family has purchased since Ivory soap came on the market. As with all good things, it has come to an end. The new replacement soap needs a new name because there is nothing about it that is the same. I gave the new soap one star only because I do like the smell. That is all, just the smell. It doesn't clean the natural oils off my face in the morning, it gets lost on the bottom of the tub, and it is so soft it melts in the water. It is NOT everything that the old Ivory soap was, it is the opposite. I am looking for something else.

    I have been using a 'castile' soap for years now because my husband says no perfumes, dyes etc due to his preferences. The castile brand is/was pretty pricey but now is not being stocked at all at our grocery store. My dad was an M.D., A general physician, and he only brought home Ivory soap. I bought a two bar pack- as I told my husband no more Kirk's. He's very happy with the Ivory bar soap and I Super Happy to be using it again. No perfume. Suds nicely. Cleans! And Rinses so well. The bars are also so much more longer lasting than our former brand. The 10 pack option is a great bargain. Love Ivory Soap

    I have been using ivory soap bar on and off for years, but now I use it exclusively. It does not dry out the skin because it protects our skin’s natural oils. I can’t even fathom using other cleansers with ingredients that are just a list of chemicals.

    I've been using the Ivory original bar soap for my entire life. Relied on it for over forty years. They changed it, and its terrible now. It smells MUCH stronger than it used to, so much so it gives me a headache if I wash with it. It's clearly a cheaper formula. It doesnt float anymore. A new bar used to have a texture when you unwrapped it, now its smooth like plastic. It has a seem going around the bar that the old bars never had. It degrades very rapidly, and there is more residue leftover. It's NOT the pure product it used to be and calling it "original" should be ILLEGAL. It's beyond disappointing to see a trusted brand turn to garbage in the pursuit of profits. Pathetic and disgusting, like your revolting "soap"
