Q: Picture is of 10 4-oz bars, but title is 10 3.17-oz bars. Which is correct?

submitted by Envy - 5 years ago
  • A: We make both a 3.17 ounce and 4 ounce bar of our Ivory Bar Soap. While we'd like to help you determine which this one is, we do need to refer you to the retailer for the answer. If you have any questions about the soap, or Ivory products, give us a call at (800) 395-9960.

Q: Is this soap antibacterial?

submitted by SJ - 7 months ago
  • A: Technically not antibacterial. Though, the US FDA found 0 evidence of antibacterial soaps better at preventing illness than plain soap and water. Antibac soap can actually be worse long term.

Q: Does this Ivory have ANY kind of fragrance? Long ago, it came that way, but it's harder and harder to find any unscented or fragrance-free beauty products.

submitted by ruby slippers - 2 years ago
  • A: Our Ivory Gentle Bar Soap Original has the original scent. In the beauty care industry, we use two specific terms to help consumers find the right products to use, unscented and fragrance-free. Unscented products may contain a light scent to mask the natural odor of the ingredients in the formula. These ingredients do not have a pleasant smell, which is why it's necessary to add a very small amount of light fragrance to make the product more enjoyable to use. Fragrance-free products do not contain any added fragrance.

Guests are saying

The recent changes to the soap formula have left many guests disappointed, as the iconic floating feature and original scent have been lost. While some appreciate the new plant-based ingredients, the majority miss the classic texture and cleansing ability. Guests express a desire for the return of the original formula, which has been a staple in their lives for decades. The soap's gentle nature and effectiveness are still valued, but the new version has not met expectations.

    The bars are very small compared to other brands. They changed the scent - it's now very citrus heavy when it used to smell more musky and clean. The formula feels like a castille soap which leaves residue on EVERYTHING. I think the new Ivory is terrible and will definitely not repurchase.

    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 - 9 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'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"

    I decided to use wayback machine to look at the ingredient changes, from what i can tell, citronellal is missing, I assume this would cause higher amounts of the other family of citronella extracts and oils to make up for the strongest scent producing product missing. lemongrass and citronella are common allergens for those with contact dermatitis. this used to not cause problems with me now it does. I assume the now larger concentration of citronella derivatives is causing irritation due to the lack of the fragrance producing derivative. please fix this

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our Ivory Gentle Bar Soap Original Scent. We take immense pride in our products, and it's wonderful to hear that you liked the packaging. However, we’re sorry to learn that you had trouble opening it, found the soap a bit harder than expected, and noticed that the bar had an unusual yellow color. Please know that all our products go through thorough quality checks to ensure they arrive at your door in top-notch condition. What you experienced is not typical, and we will definitely relay your feedback to our Quality Assurance Team and the entire Ivory Team. As a side note, we did update our formula in October 2023 to incorporate plant-based cleansers. This enhancement has made the bars more concentrated, which may explain why they feel a bit firmer. Additionally, some yellowing of the soap can occur when it's exposed to oxygen over time. The speed at which this happens can depend on storage conditions like humidity and temperature. While the bar may have taken on a yellow tint, rest assured, it is still safe for use and will perform as intended. At Ivory, we genuinely care about your satisfaction, and we’d love to hear more about your experience. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us! Feel free to call us at (800) 395-9960 or send an email through the Contact Us page on our website.

    30 years using the same excellent soap. Then you go and pull a "New Coke" on your customers. This is unacceptable. While the new version isn't bad, it's not as good as the old. Here's your solution: Relaunch "Original" as the old animal-based version. Add a NEW plant-based soap and market it as such. You have a market that will be happy to use a plant-based version and a loyal customer base that wants the original back. Your marketing seems proud of 140 years of the same product, but you are now lying to your customers.

We want all of our consumers to have a positive experience with the use of our products, and we regret to hear that this was not the case. Rest assured that we will be sharing your comments with our Quality Assurance Team and the rest of the Ivory Team. The Ivory bar is now made with plant-based cleansers and still conducts no animal testing on any of our products. The Ivory Gentle Bar Soap Original Scent is still 99.44/100% pure, gentle on the skin, and dermatologist-tested, even if it doesn't float. We would love to learn more about your experience and be of further assistance. Please give us a call at (800) 395-9960 or send us an email through our Contact Us page on our website.

    I've been using the unscented soap for years and loved it. The first time I tried the new "original scent" version I got itchy rashes on my arms. Tossed the remaining bars. Please bring back the unscented formulation. And anyone know a good substitute for the old unscented bars?

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding our Ivory Gentle Bar Soap Original Scent. We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and that you do not like the changes. Please know that this is not the experience we want for any of our consumers, and we assure you that we will pass this information along to our Health and Safety Team and the rest of the Ivory Team. While all of our ingredients are carefully assessed for safety and effectiveness when used as directed, we understand that individual sensitivities can sometimes make certain products difficult to use. We recommend discontinuing the use of this product and encourage you to reach out to us for additional support. It may help to know that our bars have always been scented. We did, however, change our formula to be plant-based, which may have altered the scent. If you are looking for an unscented option, we do offer our Ivory Sensitive Skin - Fragrance Free Body Wash. We would love to learn more from your experience and help you find the best product for your needs. Whenever it’s convenient for you, feel free to call us at (800) 395-9960 or drop us an email through the Contact Us page on our website. We're here to help.
