Why is this base so soft and greasy/wet feeling? I've let my bars sit for a month now (2 weeks longer than recommended) and they are still soft.

Goat milk base from my understanding is a softer base and glycerin draws in moisture. With these two ingredients as a combo perhaps that is why. I have also heard that M&P bases are softer than cold process bars.

I found mine to have the same firmness. The best advice I can give is to force yourself to try it for about 3 nights. You will either love it or hate it. Just take comfort in the return policy!

I just looked at the box image and see what you were referring to. I think the company is trying to compare it to peanut butter pie, maybe? Inside the package, the bars have no fluffy white topping.

It probably got cold during shipping. Warm it up under hot tap water and see if it clears up. Jojoba oil solidifies at cold temperatures. Throw it in the fridge and you'll see what i mean.

My board is not bamboo, but the thin layer of oil that I put on it just gets soaked into the wood. I do not wash it off; I just use a soft towel or rag to wipe off any of the excess. I usually oil it at the end of the day so it has ample time to be ready for use later the next day. It does not feel greasy, slick or oily. It just makes the wood grain look richer. I probably oil it more like once a month, although sometimes after 2 or 3 weeks.

If you have curly hair it is naturally dry and will get brittle. My hair drinks it and is never greasy. Do you have curly hair? Are you rinsing out completely? I actually use a small amount as a leave-in conditioner. Not sure. I have never had that experience.

There is no way to keep it soft in its pure form. I would suggest the NOW Cocoa Butter lotion.

Matthew, I'm no expert. All I know is that when the packs are dry, feeling like crunchy dry sand when squeezed and pressed and I put them in an air-tight Tupperware box with water in a small container in the box, within a few days they are soft and pliable - having soaked up the humidity/moisture in the enclosed container. Seems you'll have to try a pack and hope they fill your needs. Letting them dry out may be your biggest challenge....watching VERY CAREFULLY in an oven? VERY iffy! Maybe laying in the sun - with frequent checks. Just a thought.

I'm not sure. I know when some of it gets left out it does feel a bit "dry" but once we start playing with it more it feels just like the rest That was packaged. I would just try a little bit of it to give it a test first.

Besides putting it in the dishwasher, I'm puzzled about it still feeling greasy after washing. I am in total agreement, with the ones that recommended Dawn dish soap. It's really the best, for so many things. That and good hot water.

I've been a shampoo bar user for a while now (another brand is my favorite) and what I found works best for my fine hair is to lather it in my hands then apply it rather than rubbing the bar directly on my head since it made my hair heavy and almost greasy feeling. It probably takes a minute or 2 longer because you have to "lather and rub" a few times depending on the length of your hair but I haven't had a problem with heaviness since I started using this method. I'll never go back to bottled shampoo!

I have been using Bar Keepers Friend for years now and my Stainless steel pans looks great. No I haven't seen any scratching from the product on my pans, just shiny and looking as new as ever. I also run a small amount of water into my hot pan if it has a lot browned food on the bottom, the left over amount of browning releases after it sits for about 5-10 minutes (no longer), I wash with detergent and water, if there is a glaze on the pan (from the charbohydrate) I pull out the Bar Keepers and it looks as good as new. Don't let them sit over night in liquid it really isn't necessary. I cook hard with my pans (a lot of searing and bechamel) they always clean up without a long soak.

Hi, I didn't feel any grittiness at all. I'm not sure why you would feel something gritty, but perhaps you have a bad bottle and should return it.

Sorry, I haven't had that experience. Could it be the fat content in your ingredients?

My son says it is not greasy. He says it is thick at first and soaks in within a few minutes then is dry. He said even when he gets wet - as long as it has soaked in - it doesn't feel slippery either. He only puts it on once a day and it lasts all day.

Definitely not greasy! Feels wonderful. The scent is very fresh-easy to enjoy in the shower, but rinses very clean. Wouldn't interfere if you wanted to wear another fragrance, for example. I don't like super sweet or artificial smelling anything so I appreciate your concern. I think you will enjoy using this product though-I love it :)
