Kiss My Face Soap - no more!

For years, I've been using Kiss My Face olive oil soap (not for my face, but mostly hand washing). It is the best. It's got three ingredients (I think) and is mostly olive oil (over 80%). Now, it's no more, for one reason or another. Does anyone know of a suitable replacement? Preferably one with very very few ingredients. Thanks.

Maybe look into making soap?   It could be fun and relaxing too.  It is supposed to be easy!

Hey sorry late to post. I use castile based soaps around the home. They can be liquid or bar. I use the liquid as a base to make my own face soap as well adding chamomile, aloe, and essentials oils to make a custom face blend. My husband loves my face soap and actually uses it on his whole body, he says it is better than any store bought soap. His skin has been healthier since he has been using it. No more dry flakey skin for him.

Initially, I used books at the library to read up on soap making and essential oils usage. Now there are a bunch of pintrist posters who share their recipes as well. The craft stores sometimes have classes, near us some of the local park districts, & community education centers have started classes for DIY personal care products too.

Dr. Bronner's, Kirk's, are some brands there are a few others too. My Walmart sells Kirk's in bar form, Dr. Bronner's is at the health food store and vitamin store too. If you find the bar is going too fast get a loofa to increase the suds and limit the usage amount. I tend to purchase the Kirk's bar for the shower at Walmart. I get the larger size liquid version for Bronner's on Amazon to save money. You can use castile for cleaning too.  Just adjust ratio of dilution etc for the purpose you need. Just verify that any vegetable oils in the products are not an allergen to you, so maybe start smaller size to test.

I use Thayer's Witch Hazel as my toner. I called them concerned after my body started reacting to corn as I had to verify the source of the citric acid was corn free. It was so Thayer's continues to be a staple in our face care regime and my daughter also likes it too.  I blend Shea butter and coconut and scent with essential oil to make own lotion. It can be greasy so I usually just keep it at home.

Lastly, I make my own laundry detergent as well. I grate Fels Naptha, or Zotes, combined with Borax,  Washing Soda, and utilize essential oils again to scent it as I wish. I forgo dryer sheets and utilize the dryer balls to fluff, as I can't do they DIY dryer vinegar version recipes as white vinegar causes me issues personally. I do occasionally make Apple Cider Vinegar homemade dryer sheets, but ACV can be expensive.  Many years back I was told that myself and my kids had eczema. We had to use sensitive laundry detergents only. Low and behold discovering our celiac issues, food intolerances, and keeping items as minimal DIY ingredients as possible has worked wonders to support our immune system and limit toxicity load on the body. Not something most people in society worry about, but for those who find it beneficial like to explore these options. By the way the eczema is food related gluten not our laundry detergent. 

Good luck finding a product that works for you or as cycling lady says perhaps explore looking into making your own.

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.

      I am not sure where you are going, but we have articles in this section which may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-travel/

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.

      There is such a thing, believe it or not, called gluten withdrawal. Gluten has addictive properties similar to opiates. I know it sounds bizarre but research it. Also, are you compensating for the loss of vitamins and minerals you were getting from the FDA mandated fortified wheat flour products you were formerly consuming?
