Amazing natural product

I have been using this for years and the cleansing properties are amazing. It leaves my skin clean and fresh without stripping it of moisture. It is also brilliant as a make-up remover and shampoo. This soap is suitable for sensitive skin and helps maintain a beautiful and supple skin.
All in all, an excellent and quality natural product, which is suitable for the whole family, including babies.
