Q: Will your company being going back to the OLD Softsoap formula? I used Soft Soap for years because my skin is sensitive and eczema-prone. This product now flares my hand eczema, and makes them itch!

Q: What color is this soap? Is it clear?
submitted by Lindylou - 2 years ago
A: Hi there! Our Softsoap Soothing Aloe Vera Liquid Hand Soap is a creamy opaque liquid. Hope this helps you.

Q: Is this soap antibacterial? It doesn't say so anywhere on the packaging.
submitted by Cathy - 3 years ago
A: Hi! This particular variant of Softsoap is not an antibacterial. All of our Softsoap Hand Soaps when used as part of proper hand washing will wash away bacteria. The Antibacterial Softsoap variant is clinically proven to eliminate 99.9% of bacteria* while doing so. In terms of COVID-19, the virus is so new that neither we, nor other companies that we are aware of, have tests specifically for it. The CDC and the FDA say regular handwashing, particularly before and after certain activities, is one of the best ways to remove germs, avoid getting sick, and prevent the spread of germs to others.?Hope this helps.

I am totally disappointed in this product as of my last purchase. I have used this product for years. it Was the perfect hand soap. It does clean effectively but WHY did the have to add a horrible odor to it?? I have to go as far as to say it just plain stinks. it does not seem to be as moisturizing as it was. Since I had it delivered I am not sure if the original soft soap with aloe is available on the shelf. I am hoping it will be an option. If not will have to look for a different soap.
BRING BACK THE OLD FORMULA

Let's just say it does the trick as it does soften your hands better than most.

BRING BACK THE OLD VERSION! Whoever was on the Research and Development team that approved this cheaper new replacement as “hypo-allergenic” obviously does not have sensitive skin! I’ve used the perfect, original version of this soap for years and would even bring with me on trips rather than risk an eczema breakout. This new, heavily fragranced soap immediately irritated my hands. I hope they bring back the original, but in the meantime, Softsoap has lost a loyal customer.

Have been using this soap for years - it was the best for not drying out hands, and the subtle non-fragrancey scent was perfect. This new formulation does not leave my hands feeling quite as soft, and the fragrance is strong and gives me almost an instant headache. I’m so bummed! This used to be the best stuff!
Must have!

Why oh why did they change the scent! I used this exclusively for years because it had almost no scent and was soft on hands, please go back to the nearly scentless version : (
Bad idea to change scents!! Eww

They should not have changed the scent. It is so strong now, I can’t use it and won’t be buying it again. Same goes for the clear formula too, they also changed that scent for the worse. Too bad.
New fragrance is a big mistake!

The new fragrance clings to my hands and even transferred to an umbrella handle right after I washed my hands. This was my go-to liquid soap because it’s not anti-bacterial (ALL soap should stop anti-bacterial additives) AND because its very light and fleeting scent didn’t bother me or make me sneeze. Have used for YEARS but now must find a replacement. (I will keep an eye on the product, just in case I see “original scent” on future packaging, but I’m not hopeful.) They have multiple other scents out in their ‘clear’/antibacterial line, so why change this one?? I would even pay an extra 25-cent premium over their other ones, if they got rid of fragrance and returned to old formulation.
