Kirks Original Castile Fragrance Ounces Reviews Summary

Fragrance

Pros:

• "This product is fragrance free and unlike the products that claim to be scent free is quite affordable for daily use."
• "It still has its signature, vaguely Art Deco label and hexagonal bar shape. It is pure white... though made with coconut oil, it has no odor of coconuts at all; rather, it has a traditional and very subtle old-fashioned 'clean' smell, not unlike IVORY soap."
• "No scent at ALL !"
• "I love this truly scent free soap. It does not have any fragrances and the natural smell of the ingredients is unnoticeable."
• "It's the very best hard water soap made, lots of lather, great smell, great buy!"
• "Even though it says fragrance free, the scent is light, clean, and pleasant."
• "For one who is sensitive to fragrances, this soap has a mild, enjoyable aroma."

Cons:

• "I CAN NO LONGER USE THIS SOAP BECAUSE THEY DID SOMETHING TO THE FORMULA MAKING IT HAVE A SCENT."
• "The smell is a bit off putting."
• "Was supposed to be Unscented. They sent Original Fresh Scent instead. Stinks!"
• "I loved that it was moisturizing but although fragrance free it had a smell almost like pork and I hated it."
• "The artificial fragrance is VERY strong, and makes me not want to use it."
• "But Kirk's has an odd smell that I now find unpleasant."
• "This is the stinkiest soap my husband and I have ever smelled."

Skin Sensitivity

Pros:

• "This soap does a great job of cleaning my skin without drying it out and seems to last a reasonable time."
• "I can’t begin to explain my hyper-picky sensitive skin. This is so gentle but SUPER impressed how well this cleans."
• "Thankfully, none of the sensitive skinned people in our house have had any issues."
• "I have never broken out in a rash since using Kirk's."
• "This soap is especially great for sensitive and/or dry skin. My whole family (including a 4 year old) uses it and loves it."
• "It's great for sensitive skin, but is strong enough to clean dirty/greasy hands, works well as both a face soap and a bath soap."
• "This Kirk's Fragrance Free bar soap is excellent for people like me who have many allergies."

Cons:

• "I bought this because I have sensitive skin. It took a week or two for me to realize that the worsening rash all over my face was from the soap."
• "The real problem is it sets your delicates on fire!"
• "The women who own this company have never showered with their original fresh scent soap. It burned my lady areas something terrible."
• "Tried this soap for its natural ingredients, but unfortunately it caused an allergic reaction on the whole family. My wife, daughter and myself got the same burn reaction with very dry skin after using."
• "This was really, really harsh soap. I have very sensitive skin and wanted something sans fragrance and natural. It didn’t work for me."
• "The fragrance in the soap, while pleasant smelling, burned my fiancé’s lady bits."
• "I used the soap 3 times and each time my skin burned from the use of this soap."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "At 14 bucks for 6 bars, you're getting a killer deal!"
• "I have been using this soap for almost 50 years both as a bath and hand soap, and a shampoo."
• "I like how subtle the smell is and the bar lasts a long time."
• "Great quality. The aloe vera is smoother than the original but I like both. It's made from natural ingredients."
• "I have been using this soap for several years now as it is fragrance free and all natural for a reasonable price."
• "Our family struggled with eczema and switching to this soap made a huge difference!"
• "Kirk's Castile soap is great value for the money."

Cons:

• "Value - poor"
• "I like this soap. It's a fair price and I know it's a better bar health-wise than some of the other options. However, on Amazon the price was 50% more than in the grocery store at regular price."
• "due to the odd smell and lack of actual coconut oil to help moisturize, I won't be buying this brand again."
• "But the one thing I will struggle with is the price, I can go and get a 10 bar, pack a soap for under five dollars to pay this amount for only three bars is a little hard for me..."
• "I still think the price should come down a little, but decent soap that does the job."
• "BUT this batch definitely had some cross contamination or something with the scented version, because the bars smell slightly and I've been a little reactive them."
• "I used to like this soap. I always made sure I had at least fifty bars in my cabinet. It was nothing, but pure soap, and the price was great."
