“Where on earth can I find soap without palm oil?”

Avoiding buying products that contain palm oil is not easy. So next time you go shopping, you read the list of ingredients carefully to pick the items without palm oil…
Do you feel like screaming after turning over every bar of soap on supermarket shelves and spotting words such as “Sodium Palmate” and “Sodium Palm Kernelate” every time? Even simple words like “vegetable shortening” or “vegetable oil” probably mean they have palm oil in them. Where are you supposed to find soap that contains no palm oil and feel sure about it?
To make matters worse, when it comes to palm oil free soap, the available options are extremely limited.
If you have special needs such as eczema, psoriasis, rosacea or sensitive skin, it is terribly hard to find something which is non-irritating, let alone without palm oil! Do you then have to succumb to making a compromise? We think not!
It seems strange purchasing soap products from the other side of the planet.
So what brought me here, to this product?
- reduce plastic
- reduce chemicals irritating my sensitive skin by stopping purchasing liquid soap as well as
- being ecologically minded by purchasing products that do not use palm oil (even “sustainable” palm oil is destructive) is what brought me here.
Using this product, I now have more moisture in my skin as well as controlled eczema. Milk relief soap is a fantastic product and my skin is very thankful I found it!

As consumers, we should be allowed to choose the products we will support without being bullied into buying items we are not completely happy with.
That is why we make Milk Relief Soap™ Palm Oil Free Soap. The ingredients are designed to be non-irritating to eczema, psoriasis, rosacea or sensitive skin.

My soap search is finally over.
I really wanted to try Milk Relief Soap™, as I was having trouble finding something mild, perfume free & without palm oil etc.
Recently I went on a search for bar soap such that I can rid myself of purchasing products riddled in plastic; I’ve been using a commercial body wash.
THEN I discovered that all bar soaps contain palm oil.
I took a chance on your product for these reasons: 1. The fact that there is ZERO palm oil involved. My research indicates even “sustainable” palm oil is still bad for the environment.2. The fact that there are minimal ingredients in the soap, I’m allergic to “everything” and the fewer chemicals I can be exposed to, the better3. I love the story about how development of the soap came to be and so very thankful you’re willing to share it with the world!
Regarding USPS. I’m going to say there’s likely nothing you can change to help facilitate the process there. What happened in this case is I received updates on where the package was (yay!) I received notification it was “out for delivery” but rather than a notification that it was delivered to my post box, I received another notification that I needed to collect it from the post office. The next day, AS I WAS DRIVING TO THE POST OFFICE (a major inconvenience) I received notification it was delivered. So frustrating! Not the first time USPS has frustrated me. When I asked the representative “what gives?” She didn’t care, she was simply proud to tell me it had been delivered.
Anywho… should I order again, which, at this moment I expect to, I’ll 1. be prepared for the wait and 2. Feel confident it will eventually arrive to me and isn’t a scam ;)After I use the products for a bit I will leave a review for your website.Thanks so much!
Hi Neil, I do like the soap! I’m still struggling with some eczema on my hands as I’m not using it exclusively … I’ll order again soon.
