This is the only hand soap I use. I say that with complete and udder honesty. I carry a small bottle in my purse that I refill so I can use it on the go. I take a bottle with me on vacations. I am never without Softsoap Soothing Clean hand soap. Why change it? Why ruin a good thing? It had no smell. It was perfect. Now, it is ruined. My son, who apparently has the same obsession with this soap as I do, are now going around from store to store trying to find a random old bottle on the shelf. This is a shame.
I've used this Aloe Vera soap for years. I liked it because it was lightly scented, and I bought the refills. Now they added more fragrance, and it is HORRIBLE. Now I can't find anything unscented or lightly scented, but I will never buy this again. I gave away the two new bottles I bought. Waste of my money! The smell was too horrible. Extremely disappointed. Was this change necessary??
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I don't know why they changed the formula on the Aloe Vera Soft Soap. The new formulation is awful. It has a strong perfume chemical smell and is not moisturizing like the old formula. This product is useless for anyone that has allergies or respiratory issues. This is an epic fail. I will not be purchasing any more hand soap from Soft Soap until they bring the old formula back. If I could give this 0 stars I would. Now I am going to have to waste my time and gas back to the store to return it.

We're sorry our new formula isn't right for you. We will share your comments with our team. We hope we have another hand soap that will be the right fragrance and works perfectly for you.
Someone needs to lose their job over the new scent. It's horrible. The original product was great, and I used it for years. Can't use the new version due to the scent.

We're sorry you don't like the new scent. We'll share your comments and review with our team. We hope another of our amazing scents will be able to replace Soothing Clean, as your hand soap of choice.
I LOVED the "old" Softsoap Aloe Vera, but I have to agree with MANY other reviewers who say that this is a new formulation and it is AWFUL! I'm sensitive to fragrances and the old formulation was a very gentle scent and I had no reactions. I hesitantly bought this new soap and just thought it was new packaging, but it's also a STRONGER scent and after a very short time my eyes started bothering me and I had to try and wash all of the remaining scent off my hands. Please read all of the comments here and listen to your customers. Go back to the old formulation and the gentle scent it once had for all of us fragrant sensitive people.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

New scent is terrible, and if you make the mistake of licking your finger you will have a disgusting bitter taste on your tongue for hours. I would give it a zero rating if I could. Why change the previous perfect formula?? Please bring it back.

We're disappointed that you don't like our new fragrance. We do hope one of our other fragrances will give your fingers something good to snap about.
I've been buying this soap for years and was using it in every single kitchen/bathroom in our home until the formula changed a few months ago. The previous formula had a lightly fragranced, soft and soothing scent. This new formula smells weirdly strong, like artificial apples or a cheap candle i.e. nauseating and headache-inducing. So disappointed in this formula change, please bring back the old formula, I will not be re-purchasing this new version.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
