I've stopped using bar soap and bodywash when I take showers and now only use dishsoap...

Don't use dish soap for your skin! It's worse than body wash. If you don't wanna use these due to the horrible ingredients, use organic (USDA Organic) coconut milk, or something like that.

Dawn Dish Soap Ingredients: Water, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium pareth-23, sulfate C-12-14-16, dimethyl amine oxide, SD alcohol, undeceth-9, propylene glycol, cyclohexandiamine, polyacetate, protease, fragrance, FD&C blue

Explaining the ingredients

1. Water
Water is normal.
2.Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
This is bad, but also used in body washes. Avoid it.
2. Sodium Pareth-23
It is a harsh cleansing agent. Not for the skin. Avoid Sulfates.
3. Sulfate C-12-14-16
Like I said AVOID sulfates.
4. Dimethyl amine oxide
This is okay I think. It's what softens your hands.
5. SD alcohol
Avoid it.

... There's too many ingrdients. You could do better for your skin. Go for organic products with the USDA Organic Seal (Look it up). Organic products tend to have natural ingredients. Always look at the ingredients.

I do the same thing ever since I was deployed to the middle east dish soap works so much better at getting rid of body odor. if the bottle says it can also be used as a hand soap I use it in the shower too.

Those soaps are filled with Triclosan. You will probably go bald and have cancer within a year.

This is the only soap you need.

You are correct. This stuff is amazing, I like only the peppermint soap. but hey, they all are great. Target carries it and its the cheapest place I have found it at.

That stuff, while excellent, leaves my hair horrible. I have never found a decent alternative to shampoos when it comes to long hair.

Coconut oil

It have stopped using all body washes as well as bar soap and switched to Ivory Dish soap, As I have a mild case of Psoriasis and it helps keep my skin free from oil that makes my Psoriasis flair, not to mention my skin feels smoother and softer than it has ever. If they can use this on animals affected in oil spills I think that is is safe to use to wash. Also If we use this on our dishes and it has such bad chemicals and we eat off dinnerware we are at risk for cancer anyway.

Fact- Bar soap and body was leave more residue than dish soap, leaving your skin softer as well as keeping deep pores clean.

Old Spice Bodywash here. Natural types aren't as good for me, apparently.

Pay particular attention if you have acne. You want nothing but air touching your skin. No oil, no dirt, no makeup, no soap scum, no nothing. Dish soaps wash clean away so they're the best.

Sunlight antibacterial even has salicilic acid in it, which is the same ingredient in lots of OTC acne creams and washes like OXY and all that crap. If you have acne, wash your face three times a day with Sunlight antibacterial. You won't have it for long.

Does anyone else remember Phisodrem? It was used in US hospitals and now its forbidden?

Use the mule team. Broax

You use dish soap in your laundry? I suppose you also use it in your dishwasher? If not, you ought to try it - fill the entire cup up and put it on the long cycle. :)

I see what you did.

Dish soap isnt good for your skin at all.It is great for killing fleas however.Lather pet up good and watch them all run for the head to escape.If they only have a few put a drop in a bowl of water and as you comb with a flea comb stick the comb in the water when you see one on the comb.Flea sinks to the bottom instantly and dies.

Well if they instantly kill fleas that tells us something is in there that cant be good for us.

So did I!!

My mother used it all the time. Now it's forbidden -- why?

By the way, I've heard that liquid dish soap is basically the same as shampoo. I've used dish soap as shampoo and it seemed OK. But that's much different from bar soaps.

Oops, Mom used Phisohex, not Phisoderm. Looks like Phisohex requires a prescription. Phisoderm doesn't, and it's available for sale.

agree with this as well

I use Dawn to kill fleas on my cats

I use coconut soap on skin

once you discover baking soda youwill never go back.

I takes about 3 shampoos to get it to take effect for the hair, but when it does you willnot believe what you see.

I have used Ecover lavendar dishwashing liquid on my hair and got it squeaky clean, 32 oz for 3.99. Simple clean ingredients leaves it shiney, used it for a year.
Tired of complex toxic cocktail shamps that make ya want to puke first thing in the morning, all those unnecessary features where it doesn't even leave it uncoated with some silicone or other.

J. Crew shampoo for men caused my son's hair to fall out in ovate patches the size of a small lemon in about 3 weeks time. 6 months to grow back.
Pretty toxic sh*t that is. Neutrogena is another.
I looked into that and found a site showing which shampoos are the most disturbing. J. Crew was on that list.
