I camp and garden, and was hesitant to pay almost 10 bucks for a bar of soap. But when I think about how much I pay for candles and sprays I decided to give it a try. It worked for my whole family and is slow melting, I still have some to use this season. It smells different but not unpleasant, and when this bar is gone I plan to buy another. Better for the earth than spray cans as well.
