You are right, no soap. It calls itself a "beauty bar" hah! I use it and it certainly doesn't cause the astringent and drying effect I get from real soap.
I tried to find out whether it was actually recommended for the skin and it's an ungoogleable topic infested by a toxic combination of beauty product snake-oil and "chemicals are evil" antivaxish insanity so I'm none the wiser.
- okcando 7y agoDove beauty bars contain soap. The ingredients list sodium tallowate or sodium palmitate, which are soaps from animal or vegetable fat, respectively.
- duncanawoods 7y agoThanks, yep. They are not the primary ingredients which is probably why they can't call it a soap bar. Interestingly, the "Palm" in Napalm is also Sodium Palmitate.
- benj111 7y agoBut "Dove doesn't dry your skin like soap can" (uk advertising tagline) which would suggest it isn't soap.
- duncanawoods 7y agoA theseus ship type issue. As okcando says - it contains fatty acid salts which are what we call soap. However, lots of things contain these without becoming soap e.g. cheese and napalm so... yeah.
