It’s midnight, and here I am... watching a grown ass man talk about soap; with the passion and enthusiasm comparable to a teenager’s First Love. And I’m hooked, lol. Sub...
I've used Ivory soap for showering for 40 years now. No other soap seems as clean and fresh as Ivory. Doesn't make you smell like you're wearing cologne, makes you smell CLEAN.
I like it so far but I find it's more of a creamy lather than a bubbly one and I do get a bit dry skinned when using it, the cost of it is just right imo I like to use it for hand soap and I use better soap for showers
I use it every once in awhile just for nostalgic reasons. My aunt always bought Ivory back in the 60's & it reminds me of her old apt. upstairs in an old house and when I would visit, I remember taking baths as a small child in her old bathtub with the feet. Plus, I like that it floats. Use to put my little toys on top & float it around like a boat in the tub, lol.
Awww... That was so sweet!!! Thank you for sharing such a lovely memory of your childhood at your aunt's house using Ivory Soap to bathe with. It is so nice to have a memory like that!! God bless you!!
Haha, I love the passion you have for bar soap. I personally can't stand shower gel, and I hate how almost everyone has sold out to it. Ivory is my go to soap, but I also use Coast deodorant soap twice a week. Old school to the core! Keep the reviews coming :)
What do you hate about people liking shower gels? I love bars because they clean better and gels because they have more moisturizing properties with better scent variety. It's just a matter of preference
Charoletta77 Whenever I would get sick my granny would put me in the tub and scrub me down with Ivory soap. I would sleep like a baby. both my grandmother's used Ivory. I always have a bar around.
I recently picked up a package of 10 bars for under five dollars at target, I’m amazed at how affordable the soap is and yet it works so well it is such a good solid soap
Ive used nothing but Ivory since I was a kid.Im 70.My grandmother used it,so my dad brought the soap to our family use.Sure..Ive TRIED others.Love the smell of Irish Spring and Coast.But,for a squeeky clean,no oil,...no conditioners...no added chemicals ...no BS soap,Ivory is champ.Its scent is almost identical to a cologn from Mexico ,Orange Blossom.A rather expensive cologn at around $40.oo for an average size bottle. Ivory only,till the day I die.
I like Ivory soap. I grew up with Zest. Zest dried me out badly. I tried Ivory around 18yo. I’ve liked it ever since. It can be drying when humidity decreases but that’s what lotion is for.
Been using this for years. I have eczema and used to bath with cereve and cetiphile soapless body washes, but they don't lather, And cost an arm and a leg. Ivory doesn't inflame my skin. It does dry me out a little bit buteven moisturizing soaps do that to me so I moisturize anyways.
I haven't used Ivory Soap since I was a young child, and I was curious as to what it may be like now as an adult. I got a pack of 10 for a very low price. I tried it for the first time since I was a kid yesterday. I was very impressed, especially considering the incredibly low price. Ivory has such a nice scent to it. It's a very basic, no frills soap, however it's surprisingly really good.
I’ve only been using Ivory for the past few months, and my skin has cleared up so much. I think it works great for people who have reactions to other soaps. Doesn’t dry me out, but I think that’s because I live in a humid area.
Believe it or not this soap is what cleared up my acne. Folks are surprised when I tell them what I use to get my skin so clear. I chuckle when I see people paying $20 and up for these fancy cleansers :). Another soap I'd love to see you review is Jergens mild soap.
BarSoap Guy I'm here to watch about ivory,because my acne was gone and my suspicion was ryt. I gve up finding ways to prevent acne and the only way I see is to not use soup with chemical. accidentally find solution.IVORY.
To me ivory is by far, the best soap on the market. Ivory is 3 times better then dove, or any other bar of soap,because with ivory, your left smelling and feeling clean, your not smelling like perfume, and your skin isn’t coated with cream, and or deodorants.When I think of clean, I think of the smell of ivory soap.
great review. Growing up that's all my Mom would buy so when I got out on my own I tried all kinds of soaps & bodywashes. My Mom has continued to use it for years for bath & face, she has such soft skin &looks 10 years younger than her actual age just from using ivory & old fashioned ponds face cream... I've switched back to ivory & instead of ponds use Nivea cream, ponds breaks me out & my face is looking better than it has in years. I think our Moms really do know best.
Stephanie Loves Fall I also use Ponds cold cream every night before bed. I love cold cream. My face actually looks younger after only a week of using it every night.
Stephanie Loves Fall maybe try a different cream by one because I actually use this one I think it’s called the extra nourishing cream or something and it’s for dry it’s very dry skin and that one works really well but the pylons original cream the one that’s called dry skin cream did not work well at all I actually took it back to the store to get my five bucks back LOL
One time I wasn’t using Ivory soap for a while, buying body soaps. I started getting dry skin and all that, itchy, uncomfortable. Then I was told about Ivory soap and remembered my family had been using that exclusively. So I bought some, and I could smell the difference. I showered probably for like an hour scrubbing my body off, I never felt so clean and better from a shower in all my life.
I use two soaps, One moisturizing vinolia soap bar, which is amazing and last forever, I use this all year on my face and body, the second one is ivory soap. It will make you feel super super clean. It gets rid of everything. I love it.
Ivory soap is best to use for skin rash and sores, my mom used it starting back from the 60's it dried up skin sores and inflamed rashes on the skin, I can't say enough about this soap with ivory soap and Vaseline you can't go wrong for healing skin disorders and skin infections enough said, old school speaking!!!
One of my favorite soaps. I feel and smell super clean after using it. I love the Aloe Irvory also. I stock them all. Just wished they made the Lavender Ivory in a bar as well.
" And it floats" was in the old ad's. Ivory is a very good cleaning soap. Also another old brand that is very good is Kirkman's Borax, used to be in white package and the soap was brown. Very large bar and would last long.
I haven’t had an exzema flair up since I started using Ivory. I find it does moisturize my skin (although I’ve struggled with dry skin for 20years so it could just be finally finding a soap that works for me)
The way he broke this shit down was amazing 😂 Ran out of soap so my girl said her parents had "Ivory" text her back after watching and said that'll do !
I used this soap for so many years . It was good . I did not need to think about it . A little dry on my skin . Now I am a dove man , it is so much better .
This is the soap of my youth. It's the only soap we used cuz we couldn't afford anything else. I now use it as hand soap and use it in my homemade laundry detergent. Ivory will probably be around forever.
When I was in boy scouts, we used Ivory to learn whitling and pocket knife use. In art class, we used it to practice carving figurines. When it gets too thin and small to hold in the shower, I let it dry and use it to mark on wood and other materials I have to saw. I also heard you can use it to "write" on car side windows, you know, like "Seniors Rule!" and "Just Married!" - never tried it myself. Anyone have other uses?
Been using Ivory since a child, back in the '50s. It floats. 99 & 44/100ths pure :-) I'm pretty sure my mom liked it because it was reasonably priced, and because it floats; making bathing us kids easy !
As much as I LOVE EVERY single one of your reviews (literally just about my favorite RUclips channel ever), this is my favorite review you’ve ever done. There’s such nostalgia in this soap for me...so many childhood memories. It’s amazing how powerful scent is! You really did this product its righteous justice in this lovely review. Solid, well-spoken, descriptive, eloquent review for a beautiful classic soap bar that conjures up wonderful memories of simple, happy times. Bless you, Bar Soap Guy. I tear up every time I watch this one (and there’s been lots of times!).
haha, well thank you ! Apparently many people feel this way about the classic soaps , I get frequent comments on this bar, the original Irish spring bar and Dove white . I too can say that the right soap can really take me back !
BarSoap Guy you’ve mentioned pretty much my top favorites there! (Really nostalgic gal here lol). There’s nothing that can take you back like a quality bar of soap from your childhood. Glad you feel the same! Keep up the great work...very enjoyable...
I am an elderly guy on a limited budget so I do not activate my electric water heater to save money as a result of this I have been known to go months without showering .Well I recently bought what is called a solar shower or camping shower which is just a plastic black bag with a sprinkler attached to it.You fill it up with water lay it out in the sun and it will get the water quite warm. I just used it today outside my house I can do so because I live out in the country with few neighbors .the amount of water is fairly Limited so I thought it important to get a soap which is pretty strong and will cut the grease and dirt pretty well. I figured that since Ivory is so old timey that it might do the trick better than new soaps since back then hot water was not so prevalent as it is today .well I just came back from doing it and I guess the result was pretty good I feel and look pretty clean in my estimation. anyway that's my slightly eccentric story LOL.
congratulations on getting a new shower source ! People sometimes forget that hot showers are a first world luxury. I've heard about those solar showers , amazing invention !
Months without bathing? Wow, I can’t go more than two days. I’m glad you’ve found a way to shower. If you have a bath tub, maybe boil some water over a campfire, and then pour it in the tub. Always nice to have a soak.
I remember the commercial as a little girl " the soap that floats " ... 3 packaged bars here in New York's Walmart for $ 1.27 ( the lowest shelf possible ) ... Happy holidays.
You would be surprised what this soap will clean! It will get rid of fleas on a dog. It's probably the best ever made if you ask me! Oh and this may sound strange but it will whiten you teeth like a charm!
This ivory soap the original has cleared up my nodule cystic acne and is clearing up my visible red scars and even the ones that are red & embedded into my skin the redness of it to where they are just little embedded and no longer red. Getting the embedded left over scars surgically removed with a dermatologist.
Kayle O'Neill the same is happening for me. I have an odd mid life acne that surfaced at the age of 50. Nothing has been clearing it up, even medications. I pulled a bar of Ivory out of my closet, and washed my face twice a day for two days, 80% reduction in my acne so far. Idk what the magical ingredient is, but I’ll take it! I’ve always loved the smell of this nostalgic soap too, so it’s a win, win for me.
Thank you for the information ladies! I’m a mother of two, and wife and I’ll be 31 this June. For some odd reason my face is starting to break out as it did when I was going through puberty in the 9th grade.. I don’t know what’s happening to my skin. I have discoloration and one small red scare in the middle of my eyebrows in my forehead from the acne. It will not go away. I will pick up this soap and let y’all know what my results are in a few days/weeks. ♥️
lol @ blowing up in microwave. This was the soap my mom bought and the floating part was what she liked best .It is an instant flashback to childhood for me.
you can get these bars in 4 OZ size too, but they are hard to find. Also your videos are great and I love them. Very informative and fun to watch. Thanks :D
Ponymous Fanon have you ever seen larger bar 6 ounces? Because one time I received this gift basket from a friend and it just had a whole bunch of different things and one of the items was this big giant bar of Ivory soap and I’ve never ever seen that again she’s from a different country so it occurred to me that maybe they sell it there and she brought some bars back because like maybe they use it more commonly for washing clothes or something like that so they sell it in these giant forest but the thing was a massive LOL
I recall my childhood using this soap because it’s the cheapest we could afford.after i grew up and left home i went on to buy deodorant soaps or pricey body washes n gels. Well i started developing skin problems so i started using Ivory and it brought back so many child memories. It lathers up so well and cleans good. When i want body wash i use ivory with aloe. I also keep a bar of it for Handsoap at our bath and half bath sinks. Im the only one who uses it but Im ok with that
Really fun fact about this soap, the modern bars in 2022 seem to have a logo that faintly persists for quite a long time, seemingly deep within the soap. I have a bar I keep my my sink for handwashing that's a couple weeks old now and the Ivory logo is still visible. The look of the bar up close also has an almost faintly marbled texture when wet. I think it's pretty neat, and if Ivory went into the decorative soap making business, they'd probably make a fortune.
Ivory soap was the very first baby soap back in the day because it has less chemicals no dyes or perfumes, but it has a lot of soap scum, unscented/sensitive dove is the best.
ᴋᴀʀᴀ 😌 Honestly asking a question without sarcasm is not rude at all, scum is the ring bar soap leaves behind in your bathtub, it’s because bar soap is made with tallow (animal fat) And it traps dead skin cells and dirt, Dove bars and liquid body washes do not leave tub rings... Zest used to be good but I haven’t used it in a long time.
This is the soap I used when I was a tiny little kid. My mom is still weird about kids having to use this soap. She believes it’s the only one gentle enough for kids.
I love ivory soap and can use it to shower with but I find it to be very harsh on my face and that it actually burns. Once in a while I buy it because I love how it smells and then when I use it my face starts to burn like fire. Ugh!!!
Personally, I've never been a fan of soaps with a lotta extra chemicals!!! Many have dyes, strong fragrances & moisturizing goop that in some instances can do more harm than good!!! Give Ivory a chance if you never have; your skin will thank you for it!!! Ivory soap is simply the BEST!!!
I agree with you it smells pretty good but it dried out my skin significantly. I don't think I'm ever going to use the soap again. You should do a review of dove men plus care body wash. That's my favorite
Is Ivory good for down there or do you recommend another brand? I've been having hygiene problems and looking online at everyone hyping up soaps I've never even heard of is starting to stress me out and make me feel like giving up since nowadays everyone lies to you and is usually just advertising a brand that's not good for you.. Please be honest with me and let me know if it works thanks and I'll be forever grateful cuz I'm frustrated with myself at this point
It lathers up like crazy. I wish they made more powerfully scented varieties. Jesus loves you and died on the cross to pay the price for your sins. He was buried and then rose again on the 3rd day and ascended into heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father. If you trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins then you will go to heaven and will have everlasting life. God Bless.
Absolutely!!! I shave with it every other day!!! Much better & healthier option when compared to shaving cream/gel which contains very harmful ingredients!!!
I bought a large pack of Ivory since I hadn't used it since childhood. Sadly, my skin must have changed over the years. Ivory made my skin dry & ashy (I have an olive complexion). It made me itch horribly. It's now in the back of the cupboard, I'll probably donate it.
I'm currently using a bar of this soap since I haven't used it in many years. I have to say that it barely has any fragrance to it at all and if I had known that I wouldn't have bought it. I mean sure, it does lather up just as good as most other bar soaps and it does clean very well too. But I honestly prefer a bar of soap with a stronger fragrance to it and ivory just doesn't have a strong enough fragrance for me to use it on a regular basis. I will finish using this bar of soap til it's used up and probably give the other bars away. Even jergens mild bar soap has a stronger fragrance than ivory. I must say I am disappointed with the smell of ivory soap, just not strong enough for me.
I have SENSITIVE SKIN!!!!!! I normally use Yardley soap but lately it's been drying my skin out. I saw this, and I have the dish soap of Ivory so I figured this bar of soap should work. So hopefully it works tonight
@@BarSoapGuy Yes, Kirk's "No Fragrance" Castile bar soap is a good option. It uses only coconut oil, as opposed to a combination of several fats and oils, to make the soap part, so as long as you're not allergic to that one oil, you should be fine. It also replaces the tetrasodium EDTA in Ivory with sodium gluconate. Both are chelating agents that bind with metallic minerals in hard water (which most people have) to keep the soap effective, and they are also preservatives. EDTA, however, is a petroleum-derived chemical irritant, while sodium gluconate has virtually zero toxicity to humans and is a more effective chelating agent, meaning that less is used. All of these amounts are very tiny, so for those with normal skin and immune response, they shouldn't be a problem, but for those who are extremely sensitive, this might make a big difference. Additionally, the "No Fragrance" version of Kirk's bar soap truly has no added fragrance and smells just very slightly of the coconut oil that is used to make the soap, while Ivory bar soap does have a small amount of fragrance added. Kirk's is also one of the least expensive Castile (as in based only on plant-derived ingredients) bar soaps, which is nice. I actually love Ivory bar soap and have used it for decades because it cleans well, is super-cheap, doesn't reek of heavy perfume, and is almost pure lye soap, as advertised, but for what it's worth, something like the Kirk's soap described here is definitely a bit better, especially for those with sensitive skin and/or allergies.
I want to start using this soap I remember using it a couple years back want through the should ten bar pack I lived it lol but I think I remember it being drying and now that I'm pregnant and have developed extremely sensitive skin I hope it will be okay I know it's healthier without the dyes and no bonding agent's or preservatives nothing I can't recognize just fats oils and lye I like that alot since I'm trying to transition to a more natural life style to avoid products made with sneaky questionable ingredients that might lead to cancer just found out the aluminum stuff in deoderant is cancer causing we put it right under our puts and wonder where breast cancer comes from. anyway thank you for this review 😃 plus I was a heavy sls detergent user and went right to using ivory so that might have been why my skin reacted the way it did
+Tasha Rhodes I think it's great that your taking the time to be more healthy , especially during your pregnancy. ..I haven't done any research on what might be better soaps for pregnant women so I can't offer any firm advice one way or the other ...I do know that Dr Bronner's is a pretty healthy soap along with Shea Moisture bars so that's something you might be interested in .

@@pamelaespinosa6870 Dove is great, cleans well and doesn't dry your skin out.
I love ivory soap but it dry out my skin so I use a good body lotion like aveeno or jergens and I'm good to go
@@dinarusso3320ivory has never dried my skin out
Ivory Soap is the best soap, kills all the odors, and loosens the dirt from my skin after working all day.

I am an elderly guy on a limited budget so I do not activate my electric water heater to save money as a result of this I have been known to go months without showering .Well I recently bought what is called a solar shower or camping shower which is just a plastic black bag with a sprinkler attached to it.You fill it up with water lay it out in the sun and it will get the water quite warm. I just used it today outside my house I can do so because I live out in the country with few neighbors .the amount of water is fairly Limited so I thought it important to get a soap which is pretty strong and will cut the grease and dirt pretty well. I figured that since Ivory is so old timey that it might do the trick better than new soaps since back then hot water was not so prevalent as it is today .well I just came back from doing it and I guess the result was pretty good I feel and look pretty clean in my estimation. anyway that's my slightly eccentric story LOL.
congratulations on getting a new shower source ! People sometimes forget that hot showers are a first world luxury. I've heard about those solar showers , amazing invention !
Months without bathing? Wow, I can’t go more than two days. I’m glad you’ve found a way to shower. If you have a bath tub, maybe boil some water over a campfire, and then pour it in the tub. Always nice to have a soak.
I remember the commercial as a little girl " the soap that floats " ... 3 packaged bars here in New York's Walmart for $ 1.27 ( the lowest shelf possible ) ... Happy holidays.
I've been using ivory soap for years now. But I remember the soap bars being a little bigger than they is now.😊😊😊
You would be surprised what this soap will clean! It will get rid of fleas on a dog. It's probably the best ever made if you ask me! Oh and this may sound strange but it will whiten you teeth like a charm!
This could help my cat as he had a severe blow of the fleas.
Brushing your teeth with bar soap? 🤔
Randy Brown Tell me More 🤔
I love Ivory soap! in my opinion this is the best natural antimicrobial soap!!!
This ivory soap the original has cleared up my nodule cystic acne and is clearing up my visible red scars and even the ones that are red & embedded into my skin the redness of it to where they are just little embedded and no longer red. Getting the embedded left over scars surgically removed with a dermatologist.
hope it doesn't hurt too much ...
Kayle O'Neill the same is happening for me. I have an odd mid life acne that surfaced at the age of 50. Nothing has been clearing it up, even medications. I pulled a bar of Ivory out of my closet, and washed my face twice a day for two days, 80% reduction in my acne so far. Idk what the magical ingredient is, but I’ll take it! I’ve always loved the smell of this nostalgic soap too, so it’s a win, win for me.
Thank you for the information ladies! I’m a mother of two, and wife and I’ll be 31 this June. For some odd reason my face is starting to break out as it did when I was going through puberty in the 9th grade.. I don’t know what’s happening to my skin. I have discoloration and one small red scare in the middle of my eyebrows in my forehead from the acne. It will not go away. I will pick up this soap and let y’all know what my results are in a few days/weeks. ♥️
lol @ blowing up in microwave. This was the soap my mom bought and the floating part was what she liked best .It is an instant flashback to childhood for me.
Since this guy is *the* expert on bar soap, if he made a soap i would buy it.
Me too!
I love Ivory soap. Have it in my bathroom now but I just bought a Castelbel for the first time... Loving it so far!
you can get these bars in 4 OZ size too, but they are hard to find. Also your videos are great and I love them. Very informative and fun to watch. Thanks :D
Ponymous Fanon have you ever seen larger bar 6 ounces? Because one time I received this gift basket from a friend and it just had a whole bunch of different things and one of the items was this big giant bar of Ivory soap and I’ve never ever seen that again she’s from a different country so it occurred to me that maybe they sell it there and she brought some bars back because like maybe they use it more commonly for washing clothes or something like that so they sell it in these giant forest but the thing was a massive LOL
Try amazon
I recall my childhood using this soap because it’s the cheapest we could afford.after i grew up and left home i went on to buy deodorant soaps or pricey body washes n gels. Well i started developing skin problems so i started using Ivory and it brought back so many child memories. It lathers up so well and cleans good. When i want body wash i use ivory with aloe. I also keep a bar of it for
Handsoap at our bath and half bath sinks. Im the only one who uses it but
Im ok with that
This soap agree with me ,I have sensative skin
I love Ivory soap.It works well on my skin.
After trying multiple brands I'm starting to understand his descriptions more and more acutely
Really fun fact about this soap, the modern bars in 2022 seem to have a logo that faintly persists for quite a long time, seemingly deep within the soap. I have a bar I keep my my sink for handwashing that's a couple weeks old now and the Ivory logo is still visible. The look of the bar up close also has an almost faintly marbled texture when wet. I think it's pretty neat, and if Ivory went into the decorative soap making business, they'd probably make a fortune.
Found it Bar soap Guy!!! Thanks again for your review!!! In my opinion it is the "antibacterial" soap.
Theresa Baker ivory soap is horrible that dries out your skin and sucks. dove soap is great but a LOT more expensive, but worth it
@@linnguyen2336 I agree
This is that soap we all got our mouth washed out with when we were kids
Flashbacks lol
We soaped windows on Halloween and this stuff was hard as heck to get off windows!!!
Yup hahaha
I love the fresh clean scent
Thank you sooo much for this review I really needed it ☺😇💖
That's the only soap I use.
Good product at an honest price
I love this soap so much. Good for my sensitive skin. The scent reminds me of a zote bar of soap, the one mexican's clean their laundry with.
Priscilla Nieto fue lo primero que pensé cuando senti el olor
Ivory soap was the very first baby soap back in the day because it has less chemicals no dyes or perfumes, but it has a lot of soap scum, unscented/sensitive dove is the best.
Hi! Not to be rude but what is soap scum? I've never heard of it and just wanna make sure before purchasing ivory
ᴋᴀʀᴀ 😌 Honestly asking a question without sarcasm is not rude at all, scum is the ring bar soap leaves behind in your bathtub, it’s because bar soap is made with tallow (animal fat) And it traps dead skin cells and dirt, Dove bars and liquid body washes do not leave tub rings... Zest used to be good but I haven’t used it in a long time.
@@Dee2D Ahh ok i see! I understand now. Thank you for replying :D
ᴋᴀʀᴀ 😊👍🏽
I bought some ivory soap after this review. Although I have tons of hotel soaps I’m trying to use up
Good honest product that doesn't try to over price to make a quick buck
This is the weirdest niche channel I've encountered in a while, but I enjoy these videos for some reason.
A hint of citrus? Where.
😂
It’s very very light
Wdym where?? The whole soap bar REEKS of fruit loops
Citronella components or its derivatives is where the scent comes from.
This is the soap I used when I was a tiny little kid. My mom is still weird about kids having to use this soap. She believes it’s the only one gentle enough for kids.
It dries my skin ,I like Dove bar white bath soap
It smells like citronella mosquito candle to me but I love it lmao
I love ivory soap and can use it to shower with but I find it to be very harsh on my face and that it actually burns. Once in a while I buy it because I love how it smells and then when I use it my face starts to burn like fire. Ugh!!!
Ivory soap makes my whole body burn like fire. Can't use it at all.
Burns my face
Always left my skin VERY dry and the after scent on my skin was no bueno 😖 I like that it floats and gets you very clean👏
When I was growing up Ivory was the only soap our family used.....I liked it a lot because it floated in my bathtub...
Soap on a rope was not uncommon in my childhood .
I really appreciate your reviews on soaps!!! keep up the great work!!!!
Personally, I've never been a fan of soaps with a lotta extra chemicals!!! Many have dyes, strong fragrances & moisturizing goop that in some instances can do more harm than good!!! Give Ivory a chance if you never have; your skin will thank you for it!!! Ivory soap is simply the BEST!!!
You can even use it to shave in a pinch!
3.1 oz...geez! That like a free complementary trial bar at a hotel.
I agree with you it smells pretty good but it dried out my skin significantly. I don't think I'm ever going to use the soap again. You should do a review of dove men plus care body wash. That's my favorite
0:57 lmaoooooo blowing it up😭😭😭
I love ivory can't use fragrance soap down there
Is Ivory good for down there or do you recommend another brand? I've been having hygiene problems and looking online at everyone hyping up soaps I've never even heard of is starting to stress me out and make me feel like giving up since nowadays everyone lies to you and is usually just advertising a brand that's not good for you..
Please be honest with me and let me know if it works thanks and I'll be forever grateful cuz I'm frustrated with myself at this point
@@mini.klover1084 Use Dove baby wash for sensitive skin for down there or Dove beauty bar for sensitive skin. It works for me.
Eww
It lathers up like crazy. I wish they made more powerfully scented varieties. Jesus loves you and died on the cross to pay the price for your sins. He was buried and then rose again on the 3rd day and ascended into heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father. If you trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins then you will go to heaven and will have everlasting life. God Bless.
Amen!
This is the best soap for hard working men and women. 99% pure and gets rid of that funk. I'll never switch again. My skin is absolutely happy!
In my opinion, Ivory is the best antimicrobial soap because it 99% pure!! Can you shave with Ivory soap?
lol wut no it's not! i garentee it kills germs and gets you very clean!
Absolutely!!! I shave with it every other day!!! Much better & healthier option when compared to shaving cream/gel which contains very harmful ingredients!!!
I bought a large pack of Ivory since I hadn't used it since childhood. Sadly, my skin must have changed over the years. Ivory made my skin dry & ashy (I have an olive complexion). It made me itch horribly. It's now in the back of the cupboard, I'll probably donate it.
that's too bad ...
same happened to me
It makes me itch too and my face burn
Ivory is pretty strong in scent. However I do like this soap
Thanks I use it exclusively. Bar soap guy great channel!
I'm currently using a bar of this soap since I haven't used it in many years. I have to say that it barely has any fragrance to it at all and if I had known that I wouldn't have bought it. I mean sure, it does lather up just as good as most other bar soaps and it does clean very well too. But I honestly prefer a bar of soap with a stronger fragrance to it and ivory just doesn't have a strong enough fragrance for me to use it on a regular basis. I will finish using this bar of soap til it's used up and probably give the other bars away. Even jergens mild bar soap has a stronger fragrance than ivory. I must say I am disappointed with the smell of ivory soap, just not strong enough for me.
There's an aloe scented version that has a bit more fragrance. Quite pleasing too..IMO.
It does get you clean..
i like ivory but with all the air in it a bar doesnt last very long
I used to use ivory from age 4 to 8, then I used other stuff that was at the store.
I like this soap a first one I used to buy in usa
squeaky rinse. I only get this from ivory, coast and home made glycerin soaps.
I have SENSITIVE SKIN!!!!!!
I normally use Yardley soap but lately it's been drying my skin out. I saw this, and I have the dish soap of Ivory so I figured this bar of soap should work. So hopefully it works tonight
Hmmm I’m curious if it works , let me know after a few days .
@@BarSoapGuy yup, allergic. Itching as soon as I got out even dried off. Itching. Not a severe reaction but enough to get ointment
:(
Sorry to hear that . There’s always Cetaphil gentle cleansing bar or perhaps Kirks naturals .
@@BarSoapGuy Yes, Kirk's "No Fragrance" Castile bar soap is a good option. It uses only coconut oil, as opposed to a combination of several fats and oils, to make the soap part, so as long as you're not allergic to that one oil, you should be fine. It also replaces the tetrasodium EDTA in Ivory with sodium gluconate. Both are chelating agents that bind with metallic minerals in hard water (which most people have) to keep the soap effective, and they are also preservatives. EDTA, however, is a petroleum-derived chemical irritant, while sodium gluconate has virtually zero toxicity to humans and is a more effective chelating agent, meaning that less is used. All of these amounts are very tiny, so for those with normal skin and immune response, they shouldn't be a problem, but for those who are extremely sensitive, this might make a big difference.
Additionally, the "No Fragrance" version of Kirk's bar soap truly has no added fragrance and smells just very slightly of the coconut oil that is used to make the soap, while Ivory bar soap does have a small amount of fragrance added. Kirk's is also one of the least expensive Castile (as in based only on plant-derived ingredients) bar soaps, which is nice. I actually love Ivory bar soap and have used it for decades because it cleans well, is super-cheap, doesn't reek of heavy perfume, and is almost pure lye soap, as advertised, but for what it's worth, something like the Kirk's soap described here is definitely a bit better, especially for those with sensitive skin and/or allergies.
Ivory soap is the best love your video
love your channel favorite soap is the dove deep cleansing men + care
tried it out after your review
I want to start using this soap I remember using it a couple years back want through the should ten bar pack I lived it lol but I think I remember it being drying and now that I'm pregnant and have developed extremely sensitive skin I hope it will be okay I know it's healthier without the dyes and no bonding agent's or preservatives nothing I can't recognize just fats oils and lye I like that alot since I'm trying to transition to a more natural life style to avoid products made with sneaky questionable ingredients that might lead to cancer just found out the aluminum stuff in deoderant is cancer causing we put it right under our puts and wonder where breast cancer comes from. anyway thank you for this review 😃 plus I was a heavy sls detergent user and went right to using ivory so that might have been why my skin reacted the way it did
😣 damn auto correct

+Tasha Rhodes I think it's great that your taking the time to be more healthy , especially during your pregnancy. ..I haven't done any research on what might be better soaps for pregnant women so I can't offer any firm advice one way or the other ...I do know that Dr Bronner's is a pretty healthy soap along with Shea Moisture bars so that's something you might be interested in .
Thank you never heard of doctor bronners must look at RUclips videos😃!
"people enjoy blowing it up in the microwave" 😁
Dr squatch ad before this lol
I love bar soap
Welcome 🤗
Best soap ever!
Very nice
