I have beeb using it for 73 years now - I hope there are no "side-effects" from using it.
I still prefer it today although I now use the pump bottle to dispense it upon myself.
I like it.

Yes but not since I grew up and realized there are much better and less caustic soaps available. It’s very rough on gentle skin and it’s the absolute worst for leaving a terrible soap scum on the shower glass. In fact I actually saw a couple of local yacht charter companies that specifically forbid their clients from using Dial soap on their yachts because it leaves a soap scum residue that’s difficult to remove. I thought it interesting that the high end yacht charters actually prohibit 1 and only 1 type of soap.

Dove bar soap and Native deodorant is what we use here.

Native deodorants and anti-perspirants don’t contain aluminum and other additives that are associated with memory problems.. It’s more money but it works great, doesn’t cause irritation to those with sensitive skin (not me) and the ingredients aren’t linked to dementia or Alzheimer’s. My wife switched after watching her dad deteriorate from Alzheimer’s. She wants to avoid anything that contributes to memory issues and while deodorant is not the likely cause of her late dad’s problems she wants to hedge her bets and I support her.

Same here. I switched to Tone as he recommended. Seems pretty basic, not much perfume or chemical smell. Does the job.

Use whatever gel my wife buys me in the shower.

The soap dish at the sink has Ivory.
Posted By: Ranger99 Re: Ever use Dial Soap? - 09/25/21
I have, but not much lately.
It's priced higher here than a lot of the other soaps
and since the manufacturers cut down the size of
the bars by roughly an ounce, I went back to
Ivory, coast, and Lever 2000

The folks that use shower gels probably never
noticed the cut back because you can just add
water to make up for cutting back on the soap
actually in the bottle

I have used nothing but Dial soap for at least 20 years. I like it because it will rinse off and not leave my skin feeling soapy like the stuff my wife puts in the shower. And it keeps me "squeaky clean" grin

Bathe with Dawn dishwashing liquid. Got started when I was a teenager having to bathe under a deck hose on a trawler in the Gulf of Mexico. Actually used liquid Joy back then but we switched to Dawn. Both worked well in salt water. After spending 16 hours on deck with tons of fish and shrimp we needed a good washing.

You don't even have to - uh- bubble it from below. smile

For the record, I use most anything. Coconut oil soap is handy for hard water, or cold stream bathing - lathers better than most anything else.

In the garage, my sink soap dispenser is usually filled with Dawn.

Your Dad is smart and your wife.
+1 on all of above although I haven't tried Native (brand). I use Dr B's almost exclusively and scent free soaps for laundry. Deodorants, there's lots of safe ones to choose from these days including essential oils.
They work best IMHO.
Since I was a teen, I started using Dr B's peppermint soap because it was concentrated, and always set up near little tributaries/ mountain streams. The aquatic life is most sensitive in those locations.

Aluminum pans, like teflon, is not good for cooking and beverages. Stainless steel is a good option albeit heavier for hiking cook sets.

What do they use lye for?
Posted By: Happy_Camper Re: Ever use Dial Soap? - 09/25/21
Old Hat,

What the gts of each state had absolutely no jurisdiction to outlaw is now doing it as well as pressuring corporations to remove from selling. It's all under the "war on drugs" as they ship them in from SA and mid east.
I didn't know about lye being pulled either until now, but not surprised. I used to get a horse supplement from southern states. They will not sell it now because some state agency told them. I was told by the manager that some dealers use it to water down their drugs because it looks similar.
The state has no vested interest in our health and freedom.

Hazardous waste chemical, triclosan can't be diluted enough to make it safe. Yet, it's used in all sorts of antibacterial soap and hand sanitizers. Soaks right through the skin. All legal.

I'll save you a hundred dollar office fee.

Use a castle soap like Doctor Bronners and right after the shower, rub in a little coconut oil. It doesn't leave you greasy and that Charles Bronson leather face will eventually be the envy of the Mary Kay Cosmetic party seniors.

Also eat heathy fats and quality fish oil.

I would prefer to use Dial or Lifebuoy carbonic when I can get it, but my dermatologist suggesting going with the Dove for sensitive skin soap. For some reason, as I've gotten older, my skin has become sensitive to a lot of things. There is no sunscreen I can use now, even the stuff for skin allergies or the straight zinc oxide stuff. They all make me break out in hives. The sensitive skin Dove is okay and a can get a block of about 15 or 20 bars at Costco for almost nothing.

Cra,

Josh Axe has some information and a DIY formula.
The coconut oil works alone and IF you add zinc, get a bottle of zinc oxide with as few additives as possible and add it to the oil. It might be one of those in the commercial brands that causes irritation. If you use it, go easy and light after cleaning the face with distilled water and cloth.



Lastly, if you now the lawn or work in the sun, try to get sun exposure in the morning and cover in the afternoon. Afternoon sun causes burns more while there are healthier waves early.
Hope this helps.

The aluminum they find in peoples brains is from when vaccine makers were using aluminum as a preservative. It passes right through the blood/brain barrier. The tiny amount of aluminum you might get from aluminum pots/pans/cans passes right through you and the aluminum in deodorants isn't absorbed by your skin.

Unfortunately nothing you posted is even remotely accurate.

Aluminum has never been used as preservative.It has been and is still used as an adjuvant.Look up that word and you may learn something.

The term "tiny" is never used in science.Any amount of heavy metals are toxic to humans.What levels and what damage they cause is dependent on multiple factors.The scientific community doe know this: aluminum is a heavy metal with known neurotoxic effects on human and animal nervous systems.

Your claim that aluminum "passes through you" is supercilious at best.It has been demonstrated to accumulate in the human body.

Are you an apparatchik for Alcoa? Maybe you work for the federal government and your statement is always "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you".lol

I also forgot to mention to avoid baking power and buy those products which state "aluminum free".

I'm with you on the injection of aluminum.
How can we know that aluminum cans and cookwear doesn't get into the brain too?

Most of the cookware we use today is coated with something and aluminum cans are coated too. Even if they weren't any tiny amount of aluminum you did swallow would will go right out with your poop. It would have to be digested to get into your blood.

"Aluminum has never been used as preservative."

It has been used in vaccines and other drugs no matter what you call it and it can end up in your blood stream.
Posted By: victoro Re: Ever use Dial Soap? - 09/26/21
"Your claim that aluminum "passes through you" is supercilious at best.It has been demonstrated to accumulate in the human body."

How much aluminum from pots, pans and cans do you estimate you have swallowed in your lifetime? No matter what the amount is your body can't digest it so it can't get into your bloodstream. There's no doubt aluminum will accumulate in your body once it gets in your blood steam and that was my point.
