Nope - and I wont be since its made from palm oil - the production of which is a major cause of deforestation

Didn't see any mention of palm oil. Just looked again at the ingredients and seen- Sodium Palmate and Sodium Palm Kernelate. I presume this is from palm oil?

Just done a quick google search, seems palm oil is in bloody everything. It just shows we have very little knowledge of what we are purchasing, where it comes from or the damaged caused by the process.

Spot on stu ...I really struggled to find soap without palm oil (let alone half the stuff in the house), so took to making my own in disgust

I found Dr Bronner's Magic Soap, hemp oil, lavender oil, no palm oil and nothing eco-unfriendly that I can find...........it's nice, very nice, to use and rinses completely and instantly away............I bought a 237ml bottle of it (it's a liquid soap) for around a lady godiva and it lasted for about 4 months (I live alone). I can't recommend it highly enough...............no connection 'n' all that....................atb mac

BTW: You need to be able to ignore a load of god stuff on the label - he's some flavour of Californian evangelist......................
