Never had eczema until 5 years ago, stopped using a big name body wash and moved to glycerin soap now (initially because it was cheap) and my situation improved a lot. I have soap miner soap now and it’s easily the best soap - the difference is immediately obvious.

Appreciate that friend. So glad that it has alleviated your eczema. 🫡 Most ppl don't pay attention to the largest organ that we have, which is our skin. It can absorb up to 70% of everything put on it.

I’m a fan of your products and love the proof of work they represent. Disappointed you’re going down the sciency, scary, bullshit, bullet-point list to advertise your bag here though. Taking a 15 minute shower with a bar of Irish spring is different than eating a bar of Irish Spring - dosage and exposure matter 😂

Your skin is the largest organ you have, and absorbs 60-70% of what you put on it. Don't believe me? Research it.

Yup, just that easy😂

Best way to get Vitamin D is getting sunlight. Think about it

PPQ.AI is my research assistant 😂 Short answer: **no, that statement is not accurate.** ### What’s true - Your skin **is the largest organ** of your body. That part is correct. ### What’s not true - The claim that skin “absorbs 60–70% of what you put on it” is **not supported by medical science**. ### How skin absorption actually works Your skin is designed to be a **barrier**, not a sponge. The outer layer (the **stratum corneum**) is very effective at limiting what gets in. Absorption depends on several factors: - **Molecule size** (small molecules pass more easily) - **Fat solubility** (lipid-soluble substances penetrate better) - **Concentration and formulation** (e.g., creams vs patches) - **Skin condition** (damaged or inflamed skin absorbs more) - **Body location** (e.g., eyelids absorb more than palms) Most everyday products (lotions, cosmetics) result in **minimal systemic absorption**. ### When significant absorption does happen There are exceptions where substances are designed to penetrate: - **Transdermal medications** (e.g., nicotine patches, hormone patches) - Certain **chemicals or toxins**, especially with prolonged exposure - **Solvents** or industrial chemicals Even in these cases, absorption is **carefully studied and controlled**, and it’s nowhere near a blanket 60–70% for everything applied. ### Bottom line The “60–70% absorption” claim is a **myth often used in marketing or misinformation**. Skin does absorb some substances, but **most things you apply stay largely on the surface or within the outer skin layers**, not entering your bloodstream in large amounts. If you want, I can break down how specific ingredients (like parabens, sunscreen, or essential oils) behave on the skin.

What do that have to do with anything- stop it

Dude, I'm not here to argue. Don't believe me? Ok. Have fun with Irish Spring.

Just like most use all the poisonous food in a supermarket 🤷

You've been lied to

Climate change is an existential threat then?

Triclosan causes a birth defect. Stay away from the image search on that one at work.

Same ppl that tell you that, are same ppl that tell you the sun is bad for you

You're just looking to argue. Not interested.

You as well

If I'm being honest, all soap is a grift unless you don't have hot water.

I would

😂

Well turns out that body wash has SODIUM LAUROYL as the 6th ingredient I was using it for years and years…

Haven't really looked into it. I'll go look at next time I'm in the store, and see what ingredients it list.
