Dry skin goes hand in hand with atopic dermatitis—the skin barrier is damaged and it is tougher for the skin to retain moisture. It’s important to select a soap that will help your skin keep all the moisture it can—one of our more moisturizing soaps could help (always use the unscented variety)
When it comes down to it, organic soaps—and Pure-Castile Soaps made with organic ingredients—are better for your skin than conventional soaps and detergents loaded with synthetics and other chemicals that can harm the skin and body. They also tend to have significantly less environmental impact.
