Hey, Sonja:

I think it does a good job removing makeup (foundation, blush, concealer, etc.). Eye makeup is always a little trickier, no matter what cleanser I use. The tropical traditions soap will sting if it gets into my eyes, so I use an eye makeup remover first and then wash my face with the soap.

Hope that helps!

Quick question…… Does the Tropical Traditions Natural Liquid Soap remover makeup when you wash your face?

It’s good to see that you favor the non-toxic variety of skin care. I also love Dr. Bronner’s peppermint soap. I’ve used it for years. It’s one heck of a pick-me-up!

Hey, Trina!

I noticed the cream was on sale last night! I was thinking about placing an order myself…

I just use the Tropical Traditions soap for my face, but I’m sure you could use it for your whole body (although I think you’ll go through it quickly).

You’re probably going to get more bang for your buck using the Dr. Bronner’s to refill hand soap dispensers, or for use in the shower. It’s super concentrated, so you can dilute it and it lasts a while. If you buy the liquid Dr. Bronner’s, just make sure you use a foaming soap dispenser (mine are from some foaming hand soap I bought ages ago).

I like the Dr. Bronner’s not just because it doesn’t aggravate eczema, but it’s an affordable all-natural soap option that has a gazillion different uses. The lavender smells heavenly.

Hope that makes sense — let me know if you have any other questions.

I use that cuticle cream, too! Works great!

Ok I’ve checked out the Tropical Traditions and I’m really interested in getting the moisturizing cream (its on sale BOGO!) and liquid soap. I was going to get a soap dispenser and refill but noticed you use the Dr. Bronners’ refill. Just wondering which soap is better to get in a bigger size for hand/face/body washing? Do you get the Dr. Bronner’s for a specific reason other than the eczema?

Thanks Michelle! I’m really excited to start trying new more natural products without all the scary ingredients.

I’ve got some coconut oil at home, I definitely need to try this.

I’d love to try the rest of these as some of them I’ve never heard of. Thanks Michelle!

I use coconut oil straight out of my kitchen on my hands too! I need to get some of that Burts Bees cuticle wax though.

And now I want to try out the face wash and moisturizer.
