Like sibling commenter said, it leaves everything on your body very dry.

Your hair gets that stiff feeling that shampoo doesn’t leave you with. I think it was the mint one I got, as recommended, and it left strong sensation on my balls - the kind you can’t tell if it is burning or freezing. And generally skin dry.

So what exactly does it do that the cheapest store brand bar or liquid soap doesn’t? It’s obviously full of residue given it’s scented, and even if it wasn’t full of non soapy things you’d still need to use body lotion and conditioner afterwards to not feel completely dried out.

Bronners cleans dirt and washes away sweat and grease, sure. But I’ve never encountered a soap or detergent in a super market that didn’t.

The cheapest liquid hand washing soap leaves your skin feeling softer and just as clean and just as scented as Bronners. Although I’m not really sure why being scented is a selling point.

Personally I can’t see why you shouldn’t go for a no perfume, certified safe for people with astma and allergies and certified environmentally friendly. In some markets (like Denmark) even the store brands has these certificates and you can scent yourself with the perfume or cologne of your choice instead of having a mix of cologne, body wash and shampoo fight it out.
