No Soap Scum

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2014

This is the only bar soap we now use. I consider it the best soap purchasable, much better than even some higher price soaps. For those of you who have dealt with cleaning soap scum off shower tiles or other areas, this is the soap for you. It leaves absolutely no soap scum. It lathers up beautifully, cleans as good as any other soap I've ever used, and leaves your skin feeling soft and moisturized. The lavender smell is quite subtle, not overwhelming. I've also used their oat soap, which is also good. It lasts quite a long time, and stays together until the very last, smallest part of it remains, so there is very little waste to any bar; none, actually. The fact that is doesn't leave any residue or soap scum is its greatest feature for me, though, as I got so tired of scrubbing and scrubbing yet would still have a 'white residue' on my tile walls and floor from using regular grocery-store brand soaps. And the price of it makes it a good value. Highly recommend.

Not made in Canada anymore :(

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2022

I liked this product and I have been purchasing it for the past 10 years. I was first introduced to this fine product while I lived in the Montreal area. When I moved to the states, I was happy to see that the product was for sale on Amazon.
I did notice over time that the quality of the product has been going down, but I rationalized that due to material shortages and cost increases cause them to make minor changes to the soap.
The latest batch I purchased was nothing like the original product. You could see the difference in the original was a semi-opaque tan color, while the new product is complete opaque and off white and the scent has changed. It is no longer lavender but an indistinguishable floral scent which is definitely not Lavender.
Upon closer inspection, the product is no longer made in Canada but is now made in China.
I will not be purchasing this product again and I am sorry that I missed the return window. I am going to throw out what is left. What a waste of time, money and product.

Really fragrance free, really gentle

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2018

Style: Goat Milk SoapFlavor Name: FRAGRANCE FREESize: 5 Ounce (Pack of 4)Verified Purchase

I switched to this after Dove started adding fragrance to it's "unscented" Sensitive Skin Bar Soap.

In the cosmetics/ body products world, a manufacturer can legally add a "masking scent" and not list it in the ingredients and even label it as unscented. Fragrance free products have to really leave out the addition of artificial fragrances. Due to very sensitive skin, I've learned the difference to avoid itchy rashes.

I am very happy to confirm that not only is this soap truly fragrance free, it has such a luxuriously silky lather, I can only thank Dove for giving me the push I needed to go out and find something better.

I also appreciate that it's made only from plant oils, not the animal fat (sodium tallowate) that Dove uses. It really doesn't need to mask anything with fragrance.

The bars are a really generous size too at 5 ounces, compared to Dove's 3.17.

This is a far superior soap!

I love this soap!

Style: Goat Milk SoapFlavor Name: OATMEALSize: 5 Ounce (Pack of 4)Verified Purchase

I bought a similar homemade brand of goat's milk oatmeal soap at a farmer's market for $5 a bar, but honestly I prefer the Alpen Secrets Exfoliating Goat Milk Soap even better. For one, it's FAR less expensive per bar; secondly, the bar's size is much larger; and lastly, my skin just feels better. It's a high quality soap that delivers fantastic results. I love the smell too- very sweet. And it makes my skin smell the same, and feel super soft and clean without drying it out. I'm totally hooked on it, and can never go back to normal soap again! It feels like a treat and a splurge to buy this soap, but really, it's a great value.

Good soap but very light scent

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2013

Style: Goat Milk SoapFlavor Name: LAVENDERSize: 5 Ounce (Pack of 4)Verified Purchase

I like the soap simply because I like the idea of goatsmilk products. I bought it as sort of a novelty and the multi bar pack has lasted me a long time.

My one critique is that they aren't scented enough. This obviously varies based on preference but for me this soap has a VERY light lavender scent. You sort of get used to it and then you smell no lavender at all (unless you're looking for it). Of course for some people this will be perfect as the smell is not at all overwhelming. I prefer the soap I've purchased from logs at Whole Foods (I can't remember the brand). It has extremely concentrated scents, and I love the way it perfumes my entire bathroom after a shower.

I like this soap so well, although I still have 6 bars, I bought 8 more bars.

I have a major problem with scalp itch. I discovered a few years back that shampooing with goat's milk soap decreased the torment. I've tried several different bands, homemade off the farm, and not so homemade from Amazon. Alpen Secrets Daily Cleansing Goat milk Soap is the best I've tried. It does everything they say it does. I actually look for excuses to wash with this soap. It rinses off totally clear. I bought 8 bars at the end of July. I put a bar out for hand washing and, after washing my hand every time I go into the bathroom, the bar is only half gone. It's wonderful on my itchy scalp. I like this soap so well, although I still have 6 bars, I bought 8 more bars.

So glad I found this soap!

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2015

Style: Goat Milk SoapFlavor Name: LAVENDERSize: 5 Ounce (Pack of 4)Verified Purchase

I have very dry skin and find that most soaps don't leave my skin as moisturized as promised (Dove!). I always moisturize after showering, but before the day is through, my skin is already feeling tight and leave white streaks if I scratch.

However, since I started using Alpen (several years ago), I haven't had that problem. I still need moisturizer after a shower, but it lasts All Day, AND I use Less moisturizer at that! I wash with shower gloves instead of a wash cloth (faster and easier) and find I don't need to constantly re-soap the gloves -- twice is all I need, if that. Once for my legs and arms, again for my torso and face. The smell is not overwhelming, the lather is rich and creamy, plus, the soap stays firm till almost the very end and adheres to the next bar for dear life - nothing gets wasted.

I had severe eczema - I went to two dermatologist appointments, tried two prescriptions medications and I even had my hand biopsied with no success.
My acupuncturist suggested goat milk - it completely cleared up ! Love this brand and the bar soap lasts- thank you !
