I want to use one soap while going camping. Can this soap be used as a skin/body soap as well?

Jerome - you got me. It's advertised for cleaning. Not too sure I'd want to use this on my body...

When I received it I immediately cut the soap into bar-sized pieces and wrapped them in saran wrap. I store it in a cool, dry place. I break off a chunk and rub it in my hands to create a rich lather, then apply it to my body/face. There are rough pieces in the soap, which is why I do it this way. I've also read that breaking off pieces and putting them in a used shampoo bottle or body wash bottle, and adding water to melt it makes a nice body wash.

Yes it is. Just don't leave it for too long on your face. As i mentioned before,the soap is very drying to the skin,but as long as you moisturize your skin, you'll be fine. Trust me,you're gonna fall in love with this soap. It's a keeper!

Yep. You can use it head to toe. Some people only buy it for the face. The only other bar soap that is similar and recommended by dermatologists for seriously sensitive, dry skin is Vanicream bar soap. Also very good.

I used it in some lotion bars I made..however it was too strong...I recommend using the scented body oils for potions and soaps...

The soap will liquefy while soaking in a container of water. Even though I have not done it, I'm sure this liquid version of black soap can placed in a pump bottle and used as a body wash.

Hello Julie, sorry for late reply, yes.. you can use as a body hydration lotion, but be sure to use another lotion ontop .. it tightens skin very nicely.. great product.. keep in fridge..

If you are making a moisturizing soap you could add a little to the project, but I honestly have never added it to my soap. I have used it for lip balm and lotion recipes.

I won't say yes since i read some other customers said it irritated their skins. Personally I am allergic to Chlorine and other strong cleansers and i don't have any problem when i am using this soap. so i guess you can try ~

Not unless you eat it :) No, this is awesome face soap. I'm sure the plumbing is tougher than your skin so nothing to worry about. I used the stuff for over a year with no problems at all.

Hello, Miss Brown. I personally would not recommend that anyone use this "unscented" Dove bar soap "for sensitive skin" as a facial cleanser. I think it's more suited towards exclusively being a "body wash".

My mother, whom I bought the Maja soap for, has used it for many years. She has used it as any other regular soap without ever complaining of a face rash or any other irritation or ailment. Unless you're allergic to it, I would assume it is safe.

Yes, you can use it for lye soap; I haven't tried it yet, but I read that you can use it for up to 5-20% of the oils used and even up to 100%, but it is more expensive than some other oils.

It's not a self tanner, so it wouldn't work using that as just lotion. You use it prior to going in the tanning bed and you can use it as a tanner if you're laying out in the sun.

Yes, this is not food grade but is great for skin. In fact it is sold by a company that makes products for soap makers. Go look at their website. I use it straight on my skin after showering. http://www.essentialdepot.com/

No, I don't think so. It's for cleaning surfaces in your home and is free of chemicals, but I don't think it would be gentle enough for your skin or hair. I have seen Mrs. Meyer's liquid hand soap, though!

I don't imagine so, it's soap. The purpose is to clean your skin so you will need water on it. Hope that helps.
