Original Non-Soap Skin Cleanser, 1 Gallon | Fragrance Free with GSE | pH Balanced, Hypoallergenic & Biodegradable | Free of Parabens, Fragrance, Phosphates, SLS, Dyes, & Colorings

My hands crack when I was too often with most soaps, especially in the winter... And I'm not about to stop washing! Fortunately, this is one of the few soaps that is delicate enough to not damage my skin with repeated washing. For those who are fragrance sensitive, fear not because this soap has a very mild smell. (I get migraines from some perfumes, so I know how rough it can be with scented hand soaps). The soap has suds but rinses quickly. Lasts a long time. Very effective at cleaning. Viscosity is about average for a liquid hand soap so there's no issues with using it in most dispensers (I've tested using freestanding soap dispensers as well as wall mounted ones). 10/10 highly recommend

I started using this when I was 14 during a very painful bout of eczema, and I have now been using it for almost 20 years. It's really friggin great. I have extremely sensitive skin; I can't use things like softsoap or palmolive, or even dr bronners, because my hands will break out in a rash, and if I use them for an extended period of time, I'll get cracking and bleeding. With this product, my hands are completely normal, year round. No dryness. I use this as a hand soap and to wash my body, and as a gentle cleanser for delicate laundry, as well as several other applications. The scent for the original formula is very mild, just a very light whiff of mint. It's gentle and doesn't leave a feeling of soap residue on hands or fabric, which is super nice. I've seen this product used in some medical offices, which I think is a great choice - it would be *great* for people that need to wash their hands frequently. I am a frequent hand washer (I have OCD), and I've never had a problem with dry skin using this product. The company also seems great. I sometimes buy from them directly if Amazon doesn't have a sale. On just one occasion, I got a gallon of a different formula (the non-scented) that seemed off - it was oddly thick and viscous, but it was otherwise perfectly functional. I emailed the company about it and they immediately got back to me same or next day with personalized customer service and immediately offered to mail me a replacement, no hassle. My roommate ended up using the "bad" bottle - it still worked just fine. The experience honestly cemented my love for this product even further. Besides one weird bottle in 19 years of buying this stuff, the quality has been very consistent, and I plan to use it forever. Please don't ever go out of business, my hands will thank you.

In the early 2000’s my teenagers had pretty sensitive and acne prone skin. One day, I randomly saw a bottle of this at Sprouts Market and was hooked! It really helped their skin; it was so gentle and cleansing and best of all, non drying. It was so wonderful, I actually started using it myself and now at 51, I still swear by it. I even use it as my body wash.

Purchased this soap because my face is sensitive to some cleansers. Other reviewers are right -- it smells faintly of mint. It does a great job! I feel cleaner and refreshed after each wash. My skin doesn't dry out using it and the size of the bottles is actually great for the price.

I've been buying this Nutribiotic "Original" formulation by the gallon for years. It is the best liquid skin soap (or non-soap) ever. I try other liquid soaps from time to time. None of them are as good. Nutribiotic is totally non-iritating and non-drying. It has a very nice smell, even though it is "unscented". I never get tired of the smell or the way it feels on my skin. I keep this in all my hand pumps by the sinks in bathrooms and the kitchen. It is actually my favorite shower gel too but for variety I sometimes use Shikai Yuzu Shower Gel in the shower. I used to make my own soap and I found out why actual soap is bad for your skin. In the shower it is fine to wash first with regular bar soap, but you should follow up immediately by washing with a good liquid non-soap like Nutribiotic or Shikai. Even if you are a "man from earth" like me this 2-step wash will get all the yucky smelly uncomfortable stuff off you and make your skin feel great for hours - until you get all yucky again. For me, 2 showers a day and countless hand washings, no problem when you use these high quality liquid cleaners. I have found I can foam Nutribiotic with a Metrex foam type dispenser by diluting it half and half with water and only filling the dispenser up about 1.5 inches from the bottom (so it's mostly empty).

I have been using this formula since last century. It is a very mild soap-free detergent skin cleaner. It has the faintest of scents from rosemary and peppermint so it is not truly fragrance-free but it is so slight as to be an insignificant masking scent. This original version is cleaner rinsing than its "sensitive skin" sulfate-free sibling. The other version replaces the sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) surfactant with C14-16 olefin sulfonate which turns out to be even more irritating than the SLES so is a dubious improvement. Unless you have some unlikely allergic reaction to the SLES, this is a better formulation. Note that this product does not contain the much harsher and similar sounding sodium laurel sulfate (SLS) as one uninformed reviewer claims. I refill the standard sized bottles until their pumps give out (after several years). It does take some time for the product to pass through a funnel, though, so get a tall one. You can also get a gallon sized pump from Nutribiotic or other sources. That might make the transfer easier. Since Amazon does not sell this directly and it is relatively heavy to ship, it is best to get from a vendor that offers free shipping when combined with other health care products for a minimum purchase amount. 2017 Edit: It looks like Amazon has Prime Shipping on this now even when purchased from a third-party vendor.

Helps with hot tub rash.

He always comments, "this smells good." But it's not heavily scented at all, because I am sensitive to strong smells and I wouldn't be able to take it. For those of you who think this is expensive, figure your cost per oz and compare it to lesser quality, mass-produced over the counter products. It may be pretty close in price, so go for this good stuff instead. And now… as to shipping. Congratulations on getting this to me in a timely way. The rest of this post is not directed to this product or this seller, but to Amazon and UPS. WHEN WILL YOU GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER??? I currently have FOUR packages delayed being shipped by UPS. Amazingly, some other packages being shipped by UPS have been delivered, most of them on time. I'm a member of Amazon Prime and am supposed to get free delivery within 2 days. Hey, if it's 3 days instead of 2, I never say a word. But 6, 8 or by the time things finally arrive, 10 days? UPS says it is due to 'inclement weather' as to the reason for the delays. REALLY? Here's a news flash, UPS: It is winter. It gets cold. It often snows. It does this each year. It is called a season. So tell your drivers to put on hats and gloves and put chains on your tires and go do the job you are getting paid to do. Of the 4 packages being delayed, there is no expected delivery date. At the earliest, it will be 5 days LATE. No, not a total of 5 days, rather 5 days late. Amazon, you really need to consider another source besides UPS. Your drone idea made for a nice media splash, but with your money, why not start a competitor to UPS and FedEx?
