My hands crack when I was too often with most soaps, especially in the winter... And I'm not about to stop washing! Fortunately, this is one of the few soaps that is delicate enough to not damage my skin with repeated washing. For those who are fragrance sensitive, fear not because this soap has a very mild smell. (I get migraines from some perfumes, so I know how rough it can be with scented hand soaps). The soap has suds but rinses quickly. Lasts a long time. Very effective at cleaning. Viscosity is about average for a liquid hand soap so there's no issues with using it in most dispensers (I've tested using freestanding soap dispensers as well as wall mounted ones). 10/10 highly recommend Read more

I started using this when I was 14 during a very painful bout of eczema, and I have now been using it for almost 20 years. It's really friggin great. I have extremely sensitive skin; I can't use things like softsoap or palmolive, or even dr bronners, because my hands will break out in a rash, and if I use them for an extended period of time, I'll get cracking and bleeding. With this product, my hands are completely normal, year round. No dryness. I use this as a hand soap and to wash my body, and as a gentle cleanser for delicate laundry, as well as several other applications. The scent for the original formula is very mild, just a very light whiff of mint. It's gentle and doesn't leave a feeling of soap residue on hands or fabric, which is super nice. I've seen this product used in some medical offices, which I think is a great choice - it would be *great* for people that need to wash their hands frequently. I am a frequent hand washer (I have OCD), and I've never had a problem with dry skin using this product. The company also seems great. I sometimes buy from them directly if Amazon doesn't have a sale. On just one occasion, I got a gallon of a different formula (the non-scented) that seemed off - it was oddly thick and viscous, but it was otherwise perfectly functional. I emailed the company about it and they immediately got back to me same or next day with personalized customer service and immediately offered to mail me a replacement, no hassle. My roommate ended up using the "bad" bottle - it still worked just fine. The experience honestly cemented my love for this product even further. Besides one weird bottle in 19 years of buying this stuff, the quality has been very consistent, and I plan to use it forever. Please don't ever go out of business, my hands will thank you. Read more

Purchased this soap because my face is sensitive to some cleansers. Other reviewers are right -- it smells faintly of mint. It does a great job! I feel cleaner and refreshed after each wash. My skin doesn't dry out using it and the size of the bottles is actually great for the price. Read more

I've been buying this Nutribiotic "Original" formulation by the gallon for years. It is the best liquid skin soap (or non-soap) ever. I try other liquid soaps from time to time. None of them are as good. Nutribiotic is totally non-iritating and non-drying. It has a very nice smell, even though it is "unscented". I never get tired of the smell or the way it feels on my skin. I keep this in all my hand pumps by the sinks in bathrooms and the kitchen. It is actually my favorite shower gel too but for variety I sometimes use Shikai Yuzu Shower Gel in the shower. I used to make my own soap and I found out why actual soap is bad for your skin. In the shower it is fine to wash first with regular bar soap, but you should follow up immediately by washing with a good liquid non-soap like Nutribiotic or Shikai. Even if you are a "man from earth" like me this 2-step wash will get all the yucky smelly uncomfortable stuff off you and make your skin feel great for hours - until you get all yucky again. For me, 2 showers a day and countless hand washings, no problem when you use these high quality liquid cleaners. I have found I can foam Nutribiotic with a Metrex foam type dispenser by diluting it half and half with water and only filling the dispenser up about 1.5 inches from the bottom (so it's mostly empty).

I have developed an itchy reaction to many regular liquid soaps, so I thought I would give this a try. It definitely helps with the itchy skin and has a nice, minty smell. It also lathers as well as other soaps and holds its suds well. I have ordered a 2nd gallon. Read more

I wanted something that was fragrance free and great for sensitive skin. If you wash your hands a lot, have any sort of hand dryness this is a great product. I have been purchasing this regularly since the first time and i highly recommend it for those individuals who have sensitive skin and worried about it. This at least does the trick for me and now i don't have to think twice about it when I buy. The size it comes in is more than sufficient. Only downside is when I ordered 2 of them the packaging couldn't handle it and one was damaged due to the weight i presume. Give this a try. Read more
