I became sensitive to many (or perhaps all) kinds of soap some months ago. Since then, I have searched for alternatives to soap. I have bee using Cetaphil, a non-soap cleanser, Aveeno, a soap-free bar, and various types of clay. The clay seems more effective at removing chemicals than any kind of soap I have tried, perhaps because the clay absorbs the solvents and other chemicals. The clays I have tried include bentonite, red, kaolin, green, and some others. I have not tried Rhassoul clay but some people use that as soap. I have made most of my purchases from Amazon and recently tried Bulk Apothecary, which has good prices on some types of clay. Clay is pretty expensive, but I really needed something to wash my hands with. I received a product recall notice from Amazon on one of the bentonite clay products I had ordered because the product had high amounts of lead, so that may be something to watch out for in clay.
