Vermont Soap has been making supermild handmade bar soaps for people with sensitive skin for over 20 years. We start with our own hypoallergenic vegan* soap base of Organic Coconut, Palm, Olive and Palm Kernel oils and add aromatherapy essential oils and botanical extracts to modify astringency for different skin and pore types. All bars are facial quality and work great for shaving too. Unscented bar soaps like the Shea Butter Bar are often used by people with fine and thin hair for shampooing

Vermont Clay Bar Soap 92g
$6.90
Vermont Clay Soap is similar to bar soaps made with French Green Clay. It has a smooth creamy lather and an astringent (pore closing) effect on your skin. Clay soaps are very good for oily skin and to reduce "sheening” (excessive oil production) on the face. Normal skin people (medium pores) appreciate clay for its conditioning effects when used occasionally for the face. Clay soap is useful for poison oak, sumac and ivy (oil based skin irritants), however I would recommend Plant Itch Fast Relief instead, which has been specifically formulated for minimizing the irritation from these plants.
There are a lot of claims out there about the use of clay in soap. It is said to be de-toxifying for example. I would definitely recommend using Vermont Clay Soap after a cleansing fast and a sauna/sweat to dry out and close down those oily pores. I am less certain of its detoxifying effects when used for normal everyday. Claims by other company’s that clay soap stimulates blood flow or makes your skin glow seem a bit…creative to me.
Use Vermont Clay Soap because it feels good on your oily or combination skin, after sweating profusely, and to lessen the effects of occasional mild acne outbreaks. You will love the creamy feel and silky lather that good quality clay imparts to soap products. Excellent for shiny face syndrome (which may indicate an irritant such as detergent chemicals is affecting your facial secretions) and to smooth and polish normal skin complexions. This product is unscented, so oily skinned asthmatics should really appreciate it. We have found that the clay does shorten the shelf life of natural bar soaps so please use it up soon after you receive your order. We give Vermont Clay Soap a nominal two year shelf life rather than the three plus years we usually get from our bar soaps. Discard when it no longer smells fresh and clean.

Free from
Triclosan.
Triclosan is, believe it or not, a pesticide. It’s added to soaps for its amazing ability to rid bacteria from your skin. The problem with this type of antibacterial power is that it contributes to our population’s mounting problem of antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance basically means encouragement for bacteria to evolve in such a way that drugs, and other methods of preventing infections are no longer effective. In essence, it is the evolution of super bacteria. Beyond this issue, triclosan has also been linked to a myriad of serious health problems impacting the thyroid, endocrine system, skin irritations, and more. Luckily, many commercial body product manufacturers have reformulated their recipes to exclude triclosan, but it could still be out there, lurking on your grocer’s shelf.
Sodium lauryl sulfate.
Sodium lauryl sulfate or SLS is an extremely common ingredient found in almost any body wash, soap or shampoo from a conventional producer. It’s added as a cheap detergent and surfactant, making it easy for you to lather your skin or hair which in turn gets you a better "clean”. This chemical is so effective, it’s even found in automotive cleaning products! SLS has been known to cause skin irritation (concentrated, it’s what clinicians use to irritate the skin in order to test a skin irritant cure) and is often contaminated with a byproduct of manufacturing: dioxane, which is a possible carcinogen and may cause problems with the kidneys, liver, and central nervous system. Though SLS is considered safe in concentrations less than 1%, the human body lacks the enzyme to properly break it down, meaning it can accumulate in your cells for years on end.
Parabens.
Parabens are a commonly found ingredient in many moisturizers, shampoos, deodorants, and more. On the ingredient label, you’ll read them as methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben and butylparaben. They are used as a preservative to make sure that bottle of lotion you just bought stays good for a year or more. But because parabens are often found in skin products, they have easy access through your pores and into your blood stream. Multiple studies report that parabens mimic estrogen in the body, which can have long lasting effects. An excess of estrogen disrupts the body’s hormone system and can even increase the risk of breast cancer. Concentrations of parabens have been known to show up in cancerous tumors, especially tumors located in fatty tissue where these chemicals get concentrated. Additionally, as endocrine disruptors, parabens have the ability to cause early puberty in children.
Fragrance.
An ambiguous word, right? According to the American Academy of Dermatology, "fragrance” is the largest perpetrator of dermatitis. Though most assume the purpose of fragrance is to make you smell good, it may actually be added to, say, your body wash, in order to hide the smell of whatever chemicals are also included. And the word itself? The FDA actually exempts "fragrance” from being any more specific, meaning that synthetics, preservatives, or other skin irritants could be hiding beneath its surface. Though the word implies just one ingredient, it could be harboring hundreds. There aren’t many of known side affects (other than dermatitis) of fragrance, but this is most likely because nobody knows what’s really in it.
Polyethylene glycol.
Better known as PEG, polyethylene glycol is a mixture of compounds and polymers derived from petroleum and is actually used to produce plastics. The number that generally follows it, i.e. PEG-8, PEG-100, indicates the molecular weight of the compound. The thick and sticky liquid can be used as an emulsifier or an emollient, and is particularly good at penetrating the skin. If your product contains additional dangerous chemicals in it, PEG will facilitate the absorption of them into your skin, and its surface tension-altering properties can mess with your natural moisture balance. What’s more, just as in SLS, PEG is often contaminated with other toxins such as highly toxic ethylene oxide and carcinogenic 1,4 dioxine.
