Bio-based vs. Traditional Hand Soaps
I have done some experimenting with bio-based hand soaps, shampoo and body wash lately, because I have found out that I have a slight allergic reaction to some of the compounds present in traditional soap. I want to update you on my findings...
I've decided that I am going to stick to the traditional soap for now. My allergic reaction isn't severe enough for me to wash my hands with a bio-based product and feel as though the soap hasn't been completely rinsed off (even after rinsing for a full minute). I am also not a fan of walking around smelling like skunk or pine trees after using these soaps. To me, these are NOT clean smelling fragrances. I am hopeful that improvements will be made in the bio-based cleansing products industry over time and I will one day soon have more options to choose from that have more appealing fragrances!!
