User Question: Why is Vitamin E in all of my Bark Soap Co. products?

They are detergents which, while effective at cleaning, can often lead to other skin problems if you have sensitive skin. A true soap is made of oils/butters and lye (or some sort of alkali). That's pretty much...

Being a born and bred Houstonian, I know all about heat and humidity. If there is one thing Houstonians can attest to, it is that Southern Gulf weather is at once a blessing and a curse. When the weather is nice, it is VERY nice. But then there are the other 360 days of the year. Despite water-logged air that keeps my hair frizzy and my upper lip wet, I still end up with dry skin. Arms, elbows, knees and heels will always start to peel no matter what. I always hated applying lotion in hot weather. The same buttery, moisturizing goodness...
