You may have seen it! It's called Pure & Natural and so far I really like it! I bought it at Target but have seen it at Wal-Mart too. It suds up really well so it doesn't take much! They make bar soap, hand soap & body wash! AND, you can plant the packaging of the bar soap because it has Baby's Breath seeds made right in it! How cool is that! 3 scents: Almond Oil & Cherry Blossom, Grapefruit & Pomegranate & Rosemary and Mint. We have almond oil & cherry blossom, smells great!

I saw this at Wal-Mart but it has sodium lauryl sulfate which isn't good for you. I am so tired of companies claiming to be natural but they include that ingredient.

Pure and Natural has been around forever! However, they must have undergone some major changes. I've seen the cool cartons, that is new and the different types of soaps were not available in the past. Not too long ago it was just a regular bar soap - very cheap too. I noticed that has changed as well!

I have been buying Pure & Natural for years at 3/$1. I like it because it is cheap and white, no dye. I have never assumed it was environmentally friendly because it didn't make any claims to be on the package.

I will have to keep my eye out for the "new and improved" version. I will take a critical eye to any claims of "natural".

I'm not so sure that it is the same brand. If I remember correctly, the plain, white, inexpensive Pure and Natural is made by Dial. I couldn't find anywhere on the packaging of the new soap where it said it was made by Dial.

Yes, it is the same company. I did some research today. I believe they may no longer offer the budget bars soon. I went to the dollar store and stocked up just in case. Not that I don't like a "greener" soap, but you can't do it for the same price.

I have been using either Jason liquid hand soap or a brand called EO I believe. You can buy a lot of different natural soaps in either liquid or bar at vitacost.com for a lot cheaper than in the stores and their shipping is $4.99 no matter what size your order is. I buy all my shampoo and stuff there.

I use Burt's Bees baby wash/shampoo for ds's hair & body soap, and I switched all our liquid soap containers to it as well. No SLS, and it doesn't burn my hands. Isn't cheap, though, either.
