The range is triclosan and paraben free, which is good to know.

Parabens are another potential nasty to look out for. It's used as a preservative in a the drugs & cosmetics industry. Original research deemed the use of parabens to be safe, however, it has recently come to light that parabens, when applied to or injected under the skin, can cause an estrogen-type response in the body. More worrying is that parabens, in their unmetabolised form, have been found in human breast tumors :-?
More research is needed to say for sure whether parabens have a role to play in the development of breast cancer, but still, I'd rather not take my chances... :|


I'm currently using the pink grapefruit one and its lovely, the same scent as their kitchen cleaner I use :D

I just use pure olive soap from my local health food store.
It costs about 99p is free of all nesties and can be used for hands, face, body and wool!!!!!
brilliant.
I use it as a solid bar for hand washing, grated in warn water for woolies and grated in the bath for babys bottoms and for grubby babies after a trip to the park etc!!!!
i occasionally use lush products but not on my face as i think they can sometimes be quite drying, currently have the japan earthquake soap from LUSH as it is for charity! Its while and red like a japan flag and smellswonderfull!
