Felted Soap

My friend Joanne gave me this colorful bar of felted soap that came on the wooden soap stand.

“Benefits of felted soap Felting the soap helps with longevity, lather and exfoliation. Felted soap dries out faster after each use, preventing the natural glycerin from dissolving as quickly. This makes the bar of soap last longer for you to enjoy. The felting also helps with the grip on the soap.”

Directions to make your own felted soap are on Twig and Tale Blog.

Lathers up quickly as is a pleasure to use to wash and scrub

Liquid or Bar?

Soap. We use a lot of it, especially these last couple of years. Do you sing Happy Birthday every time?

According to an article in Healthy ““Whether soap comes in a bar or in a liquid form, they are both equally effective at reducing pathogens and removing dirt,” says Rachel Burns, MD, a dermatologist in Edina, Minnesota…”

Liquid or bar? What’s your preference?
Scented or unscented? Hand washing or showering/bathing make a difference in your selection?

Just thinking about soap today. I wanted to show a tiny wrapped bar of motel soap but couldn’t put my hands on one tonight. A year ago I posted about bars of Fels-Naptha soap but that’s another post.

Fels-Naptha Bar-Yes or No?

Manufactured since 1894 the label proclaims. . Fels-Naptha Soap.

The ingredients that can cause cancer have been removed. Good to know

When I saw this Fels-Naptha in the store the other day, my mother came to mind. She’d run a wet bar on soiled shirt collars and cuffs, on hard to remove stains from laundry. Scrub the spot then put in the washer

It works to remove poison ivy oil, too.

Who buys it still? And uses it?

Feels-Naptha soap. Yes or No?
