I've been using Dove bar soap for over 50 years but it's time to find a new soap. In case you missed it Dove has teamed up with an obese BLM activist and I do not want to give them another penny of my hard earned, taxed, paycheck. This activist is a real piece of work. Please do an internet search and read about it. How anyone at Dove thought this was a good idea I have no idea. Since Dove is owned by Unilever I'd like to avoid any of those products as well. So what are you using for bar soap. I've been using Dove Sensitive Skin bar soap to wash my entire body including face, hair, everything. Do you have any suggestions not owned by Dove or Unilever? Please advise. Thank you.

What bar soap is comparable to Dove Sensitive Skin and what is their parent company and prioritize American companies.

From ChatGPT:

As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, Dove Sensitive Skin is a popular bar soap known for its mild and gentle formula, often recommended for people with sensitive skin. The parent company of Dove is Unilever, a multinational consumer goods company based in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.

If you're looking for bar soaps comparable to Dove Sensitive Skin, you may consider the following options from American companies:

1. **Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Bar:** Cetaphil is a well-known brand for skincare products, and their Gentle Cleansing Bar is specifically designed for sensitive skin. It's fragrance-free and gentle on the skin.

2. **Aveeno Moisturizing Bar:** Aveeno, a brand under Johnson & Johnson, offers a Moisturizing Bar that is soap-free, hypoallergenic, and suitable for sensitive skin. It contains colloidal oatmeal to soothe and moisturize.

3. **Olay Sensitive Bar:** Olay, another American brand, offers a Sensitive Bar Soap that is free from harsh chemicals and dyes. It is formulated to be gentle on sensitive skin.

4. **Ivory Sensitive Skin Bar:** Ivory, owned by Procter & Gamble (a multinational American consumer goods company), has a Sensitive Skin Bar that is fragrance-free and designed for delicate skin.

Please note that product formulations may change over time, so it's a good idea to check the most recent product information and reviews to ensure that a particular soap still meets your sensitive skin needs. Additionally, the ownership of brands and their product offerings can change, so you may want to verify the parent company of these brands if that information is crucial to your purchasing decision, as my knowledge is based on information available up to September 2021.

Well there you go, AI answered your question.

But what's the matta, you don't want to help Dove promote their "fat liberation" campaign and that HUGE woman?
I heard she manufactured a hate hoax against another girl that's 1/10th her size.

Right after I posted the question I thought of AI so I figured rather than just deleting I'd contribute a little. Now I need to try them to find the one I like. I've been using Dove soap since I learned to wash so I never thought about it. I think I'm also going to stop at that soap stand I saw in front of a local farm to see what they've got. I hope they have something I like, that would be my first choice. Anyone try goat soap?

About that fat piece of... I heard about it on the news then did a search and realized I never want to give another penny to Dove or Unilever. Had I realized Dove was owned by a Unilever out of UK and there are options available made and sold in USA I probably would have switched earlier. I just never thought of it so I guess in a way I have to thank this bag of fudge rounds for opening my eyes.

Boycott for hiring a BLM advocate to market soap to overweight women (without BLM initiative included)? Uh, OK, to each his own.... Nevertheless:

Cetaphil is very gentle and moisturizing. Real good stuff.

Don't think I've ever tried goat milk soap. I do have some sheep milk-based shaving soap made in Austria.
There are artisan soap makers who make soaps for sensitive skin, maybe that' farmers' stand has some.
Even Dollar Tree sells some hard-milled vegetable-based soaps. I even picked up some olive oil based castile soaps there. Castile soaps make great shampoo bars too.

Probably the Dove or Unilever teaming up with the Fat Lives Matter lady has to do with economics. More girth uses more soap.
Or it could turn into another Bud Light fiasco.

Wife and I have been using Dove for a while, too. A few months ago I got some Botanical Goat's Milk soap from Costco and it smells better, the bars are huge and last longer, and we like it better.

Let's hope they keep carrying it.

wife and I have been using Irish Spring bar soap for decades...no reason other than the scent...prolly just a coincidence her father had Irish Catholic descendants...

Anybody remember Ivory Soap and Marilyn Chambers? Look long, hard and deep (pun intended) enough into any wholesome product and you're bound to find some controversy.

Ivory ? or dove ?soap has miniature demonic symbols and graphics on the box inner sleeves around weird graphic electric eye manufacturing measurement marks....
Take a a dove? Or ivory soap box and rip the seal and flatten it out...
Get out your jewelers loop or magnifying glass that is at least 20x....then pull out your Satan" greeting invite to your HUT" ouiji board demon inviter....
Nothing good ever came out of using a ouiji board ....

All you **** soapers are devil worshiper's....

I use a made in Oregon brand that doesn’t use any weird chemicals, my scent of choice is a vanilla oatmeal (smells like a cookie) and had ground oats in it to exfoliate dead skin cells….or potential evidence off of you.

I sent some to Whistlebritches once so that he could smell like me when he was missing my company.

Made in Australia... lemme know if you find it at your Costco.

I should probably stock up on it, in case it's a limited item. Kinda like the Kirkland bottled in bond bourbon for $25 a bottle. Sh*t ain't been available since I tried it and loved it... especially at that price!

Buy some soap from Etsy papa. Support those people. I buy shave soap there. Have a ton of bar soap. I use ivory in the summer. Some cocoa butter in the winter. I put my smell good on after the shower. I might eventually buy my bar soap from a couple shops on Etsy. I’m happy with the shaving soap I got from them Makes my hide feel good

Generally just plain old Ivory soap, Irish Spring, Zest, Coast, Dove, Dial... Nothing special. I don't have any skin allergies or issues other than I'm pasty white and could probably get sun burned if I stood next to a night light without sun screen.

That's some of the good stiff when you need it- but not for your face. LOL.

Couldn't find any in town for years. Had to buy three bars from Amazon, which had to be a decade old based on the caked on dust on the wrapper and the wrapper's loose condition. Had also mentioned I could not find it to my plumber's boss and he had to order a bar from his plumbing wholesaler to gift me.

I use the Dove Men+Care Micro Moisture Body and Face Wash.

It used to be awesome, has some eucalyptus and menthol in it. They changed the formula a few years back and it is less good and has a more perfumy smell, but I still use it out of habit and convenience.

I actually tried a bar of it. It did smell pretty good, but it's like $6 a bar and that sh*t don't last long AT ALL.

I haven't tried it but most soap bars contain a fair amount of water in them which makes them wear down faster in use.
Triple or quad milled soaps don't contain much water so they are very hard soaps and last a lot longer.

You just hate any discussion of men stuff like Frank was complaining about the razor thread.

So go ahead and start your thread about supplements to take for hot flashes, leak proof panties and stuff like that.

That's great Gene that you have broken away from the multiblade cartridge racket.
I saw a Harry's razor commercial on TV last night bragging about cartridges only costing $2.00 when the competition's cartridges were twice as much. It made me snicker.
I shaved with a vintage Gillett DE razor made in the 1930's this morning and put in a new blade that cost me like 12 cents.
And I got a close comfortable shave with no effort. Imagine that.
