Dries skin, not as good as calamine lotion
For eczema, this soap is counter-productive, as it dries my skin and makes it worse, from what I can tell. As a treatment for rash, insect bites, or other “topical” needs, it is a poor form factor. To get any benefit you have to really lather up the affected skin and be careful to not wash all the soap off. I couldn’t tell it was helping at all on a spider bite, whereas with normal calamine lotion the relief is immediate. So, what is the point then? Normal calamine lotion can be precisely applied, is more durable, and is easier to detect when re-application is needed. Nice idea, but it seems impractical. The soap is only lightly scented, which I prefer, but comes in a very small bar for the price point.
