I have really sensitive skin. Many of the soaps I have tried either make my skin feel greasy, coated, dried out or irritated. Many scented soaps have overpowering perfumes that give me a headache. So when I spotted this unscented, old-fashioned, made-in-the-USA soap, I thought I would give it a chance. The packaging for the soap actually looks like a throw-back to the pre-World-War era and could definitely use improvement to make the product more appealing. The soap itself looks like a hand-made bar you might buy from a flea market or an artisan soap shop. I love the simple, clean scent of this soap that didn’t knock me out when I opened the box. The first few ingredients of this soap are all-natural: coconut oil, palm oil, safflower oil and vegetable glycerin, plus water. Next is sodium hydroxide (also known as lye or caustic soda), a common ingredient in old-fashioned soaps. From that point, most of the ingredients seem more questionable to me. Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol. Propylene glycol is another kind of alcohol (used as antifreeze). Then sorbitan oleate, an emulsifier. Oat protein is okay, but I am not happy about the final ingredient, titanium dioxide. I am guessing the manufacturer chose it to make the soap look bright white. While the soap lathers nicely and feels smooth on my skin, I am not happy about the alcohol content, which tends to dry skin. I also have concerns about the metal titanium dioxide. The price of almost $7 for a 4 ounce bar seems ridiculous to me, when I could easily buy a bar of soap with better ingredients at the grocery or health food store for less. I don’t think I will continue to use this soap. Read more
The box it came in was super nondescript. It took away from my perception of the product, honestly. Yes, vain, I know. But I gave it a try and it is a fine soap. I do like that it is truly unscented and doesn’t smell at all. It does a good job of lathering and leaves the skin clean. Read more

It doesn't make my hands or fingers itchy or feel dry. I absolutely love the plain aesthetic and it adds to the overall simple, satisfying experience. Read more
When I first saw the packaging of this Seoul Naturals soap, I didn't think of it as retro nostalgic. It looked more like a generic soap, with its simple no-frills packaging and stark white coloring. But when I washed with it, I was very happy with its quality. It made a very rich lather, rinsed cleanly, and my hands felt moisturized afterwards. That's not surprising, since the first three ingredients are coconut oil, palm oil, and sunflower oil, followed by glycerin. The ingredients are vegan and gentle even on sensitive skin like mine. There's no fragrance, no dye, and no harsh additives. In spite of the brand name, this soap is made in the USA by a Korean family-owned business. If the packaging takes you back to the good old days, all the better. I recommend it as a wonderful soap. Read more
