Pears Soap

Hi there,

I know I keep asking questions about random products, but here's another one for you all. Im allergic to most types of soap actually, in the sense that I break out. The only type of soap that I ever use on my skin is Pears soap.

I was wondering if anyone knows if you can get Pears soap here in Switzerland and which stores (if any) carry it.

In case you haven't seen Pears soap:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pears_soap

Thanks again!

Re: Pears Soap

First store that came to mind is the "Body Shop". After doing a quick search
through their product PDF, I didn't find any "pear" products.

Good luck!

My wife has sensitive skin and loves Lush products.

Here are a couple of sellers of Pears in Switzerland:

Re: Pears Soap

Pears is a brandname, not one of the contents... I haven't seen it in years and never here, but maybe it's because I was never loking. There are a lot of natural, chemical free soaps available but here it is so difficult to find perfume free products. Finding a "sensitive" detergent that doesn't give you an instant asthma attack is nigh impossible here.
