I'm happy I found this lovely NaturesPlus Natural Beauty Cleansing Bar here on iherb. I'll use it on my body, but I can't use it on my face anymore. At first it was really really nice on my face, but then after using it for several days, it gave me dry, flaky, peeling skin on my face. It makes me so sad bc I read so many reviews about people saying they've been using this for their face for so many years. I've never had a reaction like this before from any cleanser. I had to order Avene USA
XeraCalm A.D Lipid-Replenishing Cream. I wanted to see if it could heal my face and it did within 1 day. I already suffered for a few days and this cream really helped to heal my face. I found this ingredients list on Amazon:
"Dear Valued Customer,
The Natural Beauty Cleansing Bar is one of our oldest products. We started buying it from a natural soap manufacturing company nearly 40 years ago. They have avoided telling us all of the ingredients based on the US regulatory exemption of soaps from full disclosure in the Food, Drugs and Cosmetics Act.
Nevertheless, we believe we have been able to work out everything, but the natural fragrances.
Here is the most complete list I have. I hope you find it helpful.
Ingredients and Descriptions:
Vegetable (Tapioca) Starch ? Vegetable starch is an all-natural thickener providing a smooth, clean texture.
Vegetable Glycerin ? A major component of cleansing bars, glycerin is a natural moisturizer.
Vegetable Oils (sunflower, jojoba, Olive and/or Safflower) ? Vegetable oils form natural cleansers and help skin retain moisture.

Iron Oxide ? A natural part of the buffering system iron oxide is an electron acceptor which neutralizes the alkaline pH of other ingredients.
