That's interesting ~ Dove was the last brand I used before I made the switch to homemade soaps. As I recall, it didn't cause any reactions, but when I did break out it didn't really help either so I finally gave up soap. I do miss it sometimes and wonder what would happen if I ever used a bar again. Maybe I'll give Two Pigeons a try ~ after all, I haven't tried a tallow recipe yetToday's 'soapy thing' isn't anything I did (well, I did fondly fondle my recent soap batch & took pix, but... yeah), but something my wife said. When I first started making CP soap, she apologized and said that she'd been using Dove for 50 years and she would never give it up. I did some research & made a batch I call Two Pigeons (because it's a dove clone!) (I originally called it 16 Gauge, because I told my wife it would be a Dove killer; she was not amused...). Anyway, today she told me she'd been using the first bar of Two Pigeons for a few weeks now and she liked it... said she might like it better than Dove.
I felt pretty warm and fuzzy, hearing that!
She did mention that she wished it smelled like the green Dove she uses, and I told her I'd try to replicate it.
Edited to correct misremembered soap name.
