Question 1

Is it tested on animals????

Accepted Answer

Ivory brand does test on animals. That said I looked it up and the bar soap was Introduced, 1879; 141 years ago and is unchanged since then. That long ago I doubt it was tested on anything or anyone and I cannot imagine they are doing any testing now (yup, still cleans?!?) on this product.

Question 2

Is ivory soap made with lye?

Accepted Answer

The quick & easy answer, no soap can't be made w/o lye. To make soap it requires at least a strong alkaline base/lye + a fatty acid/vegtable oil or animal fats. What takes place when mixing these ingredients is called the  saponification process, a chemical reaction between an acid and a base to form a salt/soap.I have used Ivory soap for more than 50 yrs. It is the only soap I can use because of my skin sensitivities to chemicals, metals, environmentals etc. Hope this sufficiently answers your question.Below you can find out more about the soap making process & what is required:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soap

Question 3

Is this soap suitable for shaving? And will it dry out my skin? Currently using an expensive shave soap just trying to find a cheaper alternative

Accepted Answer

Yes, Ivory Soap is suitable for shaving.  I use it whenever I shave instead of the more expensive shaving creams or lotions.  I recommend using a good shaving brush. Also, use it while in the shower---it will not dry out your skin.

Question 4

why can't i subscribe to this every 3 months?

Accepted Answer

Not sure either but I wish it was where you could have it sent every 3 months or 6 months or whatever you wanted. U
