Tom’s of Maine Natural Moisturizing Body Bar Soap Unscented 1 bar 3.19…Not Recommended…Big difference in price. I usually use Olay’s Moisturizing Soap which works out to be about 1.25 a bar in the multipack. The Tom’s soap wasn’t very lathery and had a weird feel, like wet wax. My husband swears it has a bad smell. Not so sure what exactly he is sniffing, but he is not a fan. The packaging is a wash because the multipack I buy usually has a plastic binder wrapper around the paper boxes but no inner plastic. The Tom’s has no outer plastic, a little deceiving, but the bar itself is in a plastic bag. Not sure why. (Kinda felt tricked. Like some exec at Tom’s is cackling going, “Moohhahahha slipped another bag by one of those sniveling greenies. Tom’s exec one…environment zero.” Okay…maybe watching a tad too much Captain Planet with my 4 year old.) Anyhow, I’m sure there are better natural soaps out there…probably for a better price too. I’ll take suggestions from the audience on this one. (Just for you toddlerless people out there, probably sleeping past 6AM, my little friend today is Verminous Skumm, voiced by Jeff Goldblum, eco-villain, …the rat-not Jeff. Attractive, no?)
