EO - Hand Soap, Peppermint & Tea Tree, 12 fl oz (Multi-Pack)

EO - Hand Soap Peppermint & Tea Tree, 12 fl ozI love this EO Peppermint & Tea Tree soap I've used it for about 4 years.

It's not only suitable for hands I use it as my daily face wash, and it does a great job.

I don't know if the tea tree oil in this product is killing any acne bacteria and therefore reducing facial breakouts, but I think it might be helping me a little in that regard.

A few months ago, I wondered if my facial skin would do any better if I returned to using a liquid soap that was specifically branded as a "face wash", so I tried several that were recommended by the customer reviewers on makeupalley, skinstore, sephora, and the like, as well as recommended by the skincare/cosmetics expert Paula Begoun on her beautypedia website. None of them left my skin in as good a condition as this EO Peppermint & Tea Tree hand soap, so I went back to using it!

My skin is pretty sensitive as well as breakout-prone, and is "combination skin" with an oily t-zone and "normal" cheeks (which become dry cheeks in the winter), but the EO Peppermint & Tea Tree soap has not caused any adverse reactions to my skin. It does not dry my skin out like many face washes do (even those that are marketed as being gentle on sensitive skin).

Unlike some organic soaps, this soap is quite sudsy, and one bottle lasts a long time (if you can get the hang of pressing down on the pump only partially, so just the amount you need comes out).

Also, I love and regularly use a few varieties of the EO shower gels and bubble bath formulas (on my body skin only) -for example, the Eucalyptus is lovely and warming in cooler weather, and the Tangerine Vanilla (I think it's called) is nice in warmer weather.

However, I did not have a favorable impression of their hand / body lotions, though (too oily and didn't absorb well for me), and their peppermint sanitizing spray caused a rash on the backs of my hands.

FYI, most stores only carry a few of the items/"flavors" made by EO, but their entire range of products is described on (and sold via) the manufacturer's website.
