Q: Hi, I love the Old formula as I have allergies and it did not have a scent. I can not use the new formula. Will you still be producing the old formulas also? If not you have lost a lifelong customer,
submitted by Luciditi - 2 years ago
A: Yes, the smell changed and I do not like it. I buy the Trarget brand,Up & Up, now.
submitted bysensitive to smells - 1 year agoA: I agree completely. It is awful that after all these years of using this Softsoap product that Colgate would change the formula without making the original unsented available anymore.
submitted byJeffS - 2 years agoA: Haven't you heard, so many people want your old formular back! What is mean when you say "Our goal is to make a wide variety of hand soaps with amazing fragrances so everybody can find one to enjoy"?

submitted byColgate Palmolive Consumer Affairs - 2 years agoBrand expertA: I have been searching for the unscented, too, after many years of use. I am allergic to perfume! There is nothing "fresh" about perfume, only more chemicals. Please return the old recipe to shelves

Q: WHY is there yellow and red dye in your aloe Vera soap? I stopped buying the clear soft soap after years of using it when I found out it had violet dye. I thought the aloe Vera did not have dye years ago…why now? Sorry, you just lost a 20 year customer.

Q: What color is this soap? Is it clear?
submitted by Lindylou - 4 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 - 5 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.

Guests are saying
The recent changes to the hand soap formula have left many guests disappointed, particularly due to the overwhelming new scent and drying effects on the skin. While some guests appreciate the moisturizing qualities and the initial pleasant scent, the majority express a strong preference for the original formula. The soap's ability to clean effectively remains a positive aspect, but the new fragrance has overshadowed its benefits for many loyal users.

I been using Softsoap since the 1980's. Aloe was introduced later and the scent was perfect. Not too strong and very pleasant. I have bought probably one hundred larger refill bottles (enough to notice the shrinking of the bottle size over the years). Well a few years ago I ran out of the original aloe scent soap. I didn't notice that the name had changed and I was very upset when I used it. The aloe vera fresh scent is terrible and headache inducing. Not only is it bad when using it, the terrible scent remains on your hands afterwards. The company will not listen to their customer's complaints. The least they could do is keep this new awful scent and bring back original aloe as a different/retro scent. The reason why people liked the original aloe was because it didn't smell a lot. Not everyone likes heavy, perfumed scents and needs a referral to a different scent in your line. I have gone elsewhere to Raw Sugar, Lemon Sugar. It's scented but natural, smells great during use, and does not give me a headache afterwards!

The new "fresh scent" is terrible. Why the change? Are you listening to your long time customers practically begging you to bring back the original soap so many of us used for years? I cannot purchase the product any more. I ended up donating the bottles I purchased before realizing the added scent. Please listen to your customers. Finding an alternative is very challenging. You had the best product available...."had" being the key word.

We had a lot of the large refill size bottles used to fill up all of our soap dispensers. The only product we have used for years because i have sensitive skin and many of the other brands make my skin crack from being dry and bleed. Plus, i loved how there was no major scent or perfume. Apparently we finished up our supply of softsoap we had on hand, so we bought another bottle. The bottle looked a little different, but the product inside looked the same. Then noticed that there was a very strong scent left on my hands. I figured someone in the house had mixed up the soap dispensers and put in thr wrong soap. It didnt take long before my hands started to become very dry and crack. This wasnt an issue before... then inlook online and apparently nobody likes the change in formula. We all agree that it smells bad and is harsh on the skin. This was a very popular product that many people with allergies or other sensitivities would use because it was gentle and unscented. Not anymore. Gonna find a new brand and throw this one away. Boooooo!

What have you done to the scent? It’s so perfumey and we all hate it. I’ve been buying this for years and won’t buy again.
Drying. Irritating. Cheap, overpowering scent.

The previous formula was geat. Mild scent. Gentle on hands and moisturizing. Whoever "improved" the formula ought to be looking for a new career. This hand soap no longer moisturizes the skin. In fact it dries out the skin. The red and yellow food dye irritates the skin. The scent is overpowering and just smells cheap. Never buying this hand soap again.
An unfortunate reformulation destroys the product

I don' t know what I can say that hasn't already been said. I am scent-sensitive, and I have used this product exclusively for many years. I have bought gallons of refills - I was a loyal customer. I bought my first bottles with the new scent recently, and it is appalling. It's cloying, it lingers, and it triggers my migraines. There are so many scented hand soaps for the lucky folks who can enjoy them. Why steal this one away from the rest of us?

I cannot believe that this white hand soap contains various numbered dyes! My son is allergic to red food dye, and this contains red 33. He had a reaction. It also contains Sodium Benzoate which is known to cause hyperactivity in children. I’ve thrown this soap out and will never buy it again.

This used to be the only hand soap I purchased, but I haven’t since the scent change. It’s not even kind of the same product and I am incredibly disappointed. The new scent is terrible, overbearing, and lingers in a bad way. Please please please bring back the original. Please.

Used to be a great product and I used for years. Now it’s just garbage & that’s where mine went. Not moisturizing but dries hands out. They added a fragrance which smells strangely floral & clings to skin. Skip this choice & move on!!!
