Full pump doses, patented ingredients, and a serious high-energy kick.
Don't let the name fool you—this isn't just flavored creatine. From the ingredients listed, it's a complete high-stim pre-workout built on four key areas: better blood flow, fighting fatigue, sharper neural drive, and solid hydration. That's straight out of Core Nutritionals' playbook under Doug Miller: no hidden blends, no junk fillers, and no skimping on doses that actually work in the gym.
The pump starts with 6,000mg L-citrulline, hitting that sweet 6-8g range where it really shines. L-citrulline turns into arginine in your kidneys, skipping the gut breakdown, and ramps up nitric oxide for wider blood vessels and better flow. You'll feel fuller pumps that last, especially as your workout ramps up. It also helps clear out ammonia buildup, which keeps fatigue at bay. Then there's 254mg VasoDrive-AP®, a patented mix of hydrolyzed casein peptides, and 200mg CitraPeak®, a branded glucosyl hesperidin that supports blood vessel function. Together, they make the pump feel multi-layered, not just from one ingredient.
On the performance side, it's stacked nicely. 3,200mg beta-alanine is the starting point for boosting muscle carnosine, which buffers acid during intense reps so you don't crash early. It builds over time, not overnight. Betaine anhydrous at 2,500mg is the go-to dose for better power and keeping cells hydrated. Taurine at 2,000mg is also right in the effective range, contributing os
Core Fun Sweets by Core Nutritionals contains 5000mg Creatine Monohydrate, a effective dose for muscle protein synthesis.
Key Highlights
- 6,000mg L-Citrulline — that's a real dose that delivers. It turns into arginine to boost nitric oxide, opening up blood flow for awesome pumps, better delivery to muscles, and sets that feel stronger.
- 254mg VasoDrive-AP® — patented hydrolyzed casein peptides that add a smart layer to the pump. They help with blood vessel tone through ACE-inhibiting action, making the whole pump experience feel more rounded.
- 200mg CitraPeak® — branded glucosyl hesperidin that backs up blood flow in its own way. It works alongside citrulline to keep circulation strong, which is how top pump formulas get built.
- 3,200mg Beta-Alanine — hits the clinical sweet spot for loading up muscle carnosine. This buffers the acid burn in tough sets, so you push harder without flaming out early.
- 2,500mg Betaine Anhydrous — the proven dose for gym performance. It acts as a methyl donor and helps cells stay hydrated, keeping your reps feeling solid even when you're pushing limits.
- 2,000mg Taurine — a hefty amount for balancing fluids, supporting muscle work, and boosting endurance. It keeps cellular water in check and helps with calcium for better contractions during sweaty sessions.
- 2,000mg L-Tyrosine — a big focus booster for tough workouts. It supports brain chemicals when stress or early mornings try to dull your edge, keeping you sharp.
- 300mg Alpha-GPC — thrown in for that acetylcholine boost to nail focus and mind-muscle link. It's a staple in serious pre-workouts because it turns energy into real gym output.

Who Is This For?
- Bodybuilders in growth phases who need more than just an energy spike. 6g L-citrulline, VasoDrive-AP®, and CitraPeak® deliver real pumps, while 3.2g beta-alanine and 2.5g betaine keep you going through volume.
- Seasoned lifters training at dawn who want instant alertness and lasting drive. 500mg caffeine with 2g L-tyrosine and 300mg Alpha-GPC gets you fired up fast.
- Strength folks in build-up phases where beating fatigue is key. Beta-alanine buffers acid, taurine and betaine hydrate, and electrolytes help with long, sweaty grinds.
- Cross-trainers mixing lifts with circuits or intervals. Great for that 1-10 minute high-intensity zone where beta-alanine and caffeine shine.
- Lifters over basic pre-workouts. This disclosed formula with branded stuff replaces a stack of singles.
- Advanced gym rats who love stims but want real support underneath. Pump, focus, endurance, and electrolytes match the 500mg caffeine punch.
How to Use
If you're new to this or high-stims, start with half a scoop. Full serving packs 500mg caffeine—that's advanced, so respect it. Take 20-30 minutes pre-workout for the stims to hit while pumps and focus build during sets. Mix in 10-16 ounces of water; shaker's best for even mixing. Empty stomach speeds it up, food softens the edge. Don't pile on coffee or other stims without calculating. No need to cycle the performance stuff, but breaks help reset caffeine tolerance. Store sealed in a cool, dry spot to keep it clumping-free.
What to Expect
0-10 minutes: Stimulants hit first, especially on an empty stomach, and you might get that beta-alanine tingle at 3.2g—totally normal. 10-20 minutes: Caffeine ramps up, energy builds, and tyrosine with Alpha-GPC make it feel focused, not jittery. 20-40 minutes: Peak time—energy, focus, and drive are maxed, pumps kick in hard with training. 40-90 minutes: Stays strong thanks to the multi-source caffeine, but it varies by your size, tolerance, and food. Days 1-7: Immediate energy and pumps rock, but beta-alanine is still loading. Weeks 2-4: Carnosine is up, so intense reps feel less burn-limited.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much caffeine is in this formula per serving?
A full serving provides 500mg total caffeine from caffeine anhydrous, caffeine citrate, and an additional caffeine source. That places it firmly in high-stim territory and well above what most beginners should use.
Is 6,000mg of L-citrulline actually a strong dose?
Yes. The clinically studied range for L-citrulline is typically 6-8g, so this formula starts right at the effective research-backed threshold. That is a meaningful difference from many pre-workouts that use only 3-4g.
Why does this formula use both VasoDrive-AP® and CitraPeak® with citrulline?
Because better pump formulas do not rely on one pathway alone. Citrulline supports nitric oxide production, while VasoDrive-AP® and CitraPeak® provide additional vascular and endothelial support, helping blood flow feel fuller and more sustained during training.
Will this make me tingle?
Possibly, yes. The 3,200mg beta-alanine dose is the clinical entry point for carnosine loading, and that amount commonly causes a harmless tingling sensation called paresthesia. It does not mean the product is stronger or weaker; it is simply a common sensory effect of beta-alanine.
Is the beta-alanine dose here clinically supported?
Yes. 3.2g is the standard evidence-backed starting point for increasing muscle carnosine over time. The main benefit is cumulative, so regular use matters more than expecting beta-alanine to transform a single workout.
Can I stack this with creatine?
Yes, and that is one of the smartest ways to round out the formula. This product already covers energy, pump, hydration, and buffering well, so adding 3-5g creatine monohydrate daily complements it by supporting phosphocreatine replenishment and repeated high-output performance.
Should I take a full scoop the first time?
Not unless you are already comfortable with very high-stim pre-workouts. Half a serving is the responsible starting point for most users because 500mg caffeine at full dose can be overwhelming if your tolerance is not established.
Can I use this for evening workouts?
For most people, no. The 500mg caffeine load has a strong chance of interfering with sleep if taken later in the day, and that can compromise recovery even if the workout itself feels great.
Does this product contain any dairy-derived ingredients?
Yes. VasoDrive-AP® is a hydrolyzed casein peptide ingredient, so users with dairy allergies or those strictly avoiding milk-derived ingredients should not use it without confirming tolerance.
Is this label transparent or does it use blends?
It is fully disclosed. Every active ingredient and dose is listed, which is a major advantage in a category where proprietary blends still hide whether key performance ingredients are actually dosed effectively.

Decent & Natural
Scent: SOLDIER COLLECTION, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
The soaps all smell good and unique, however the scents aren’t very potent, and some seem to vary more than others in the olfactory department. I started with the army soap, but I’m not sure whether they use natural coloring or not, but it apparently sheds some green in the shower. Overall, I’d say they are high quality and natural, but they’re a bit steep in price. I would recommend them if you can get them on sale at some point.

Scents are all awesome and they ARE PLENTY strong!
Scent: SOLDIER COLLECTION, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 6), Scent: SOLDIER COLLECTION, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
First thing I want to say is i do not ever leave a false review to save a few bucks or get something free.
Secondly that I have zero clue what some of these people are expecting when they say the scents are not very strong, they absolutely 100% for sure are plenty strong. I was expecting a very faint smelling bar after reading the reviews and when the box showed up (next day delivery) I did not even have to tear open the what seemed to be air tight plastic wrap off the box to smell the soaps. After removing the plastic wrap I immediately thought what in the ever loving hockey sticks are these people talking about! It smelled excellent and PLENTY strong. Then I was even more shocked to open the box and see every bar is individually sealed in plastic wrap! Like I honestly dont know how you would even want your soap smelling any stronger than that. It is just as strong as the O. Spice swagger body wash which I used for many years and am just making the switch to a healthier option for my body. So with that out of the way.
This soap is awesome. I really like every scent a lot and if it weren't for the coast guard scent I wouldnt be able to pick a favorite, however that coast guard scent is flawless in my opinion. I would absolutely buy a cologne that smelled like that. They all definitely do smell like mens colognes and somehow they nailed each one smelling good when 95% of actual mens colognes smell like crap haha.
I have only actually used the coast guard bar as I just got these today and soon as I smelled that one I knew it was going first. But with my one use I will say I am really happy and already have two more boxes in my cart. Smell gets stronger in the warm water but loses potency if that makes sense? Like it gets stronger but doesnt become overbearing to cause a headache or something, smells fantastic. Lathers up real nice when using my scrubber, feels great on the skin and probably what I love the most is that it rinses completely off like 10,000 times quicker than body washes. I hate that about body washes I always have to rinse off then spend like 10 minutes scrubbing my skin to get the film off of me, with this I just rinsed off for about 2 minutes and completely off, no scrubbing my skin after and no film just clean skin. I did also notice my skin felt a hair more hydrated, but that could also be because I am so used to body washes leaving it feeling dry.
Another thing I really like is how they list all Ingredients of each individual soap very clearly on the back of the box that is a nice touch I thought.
I went with this brand to try because reviews all seemed good and price point was actually reasonable unlike them other guys which I would never pay that price for soap, and I'm really happy i did, it's better than I expected and I honestly can not think of anything I dont like about it.
The one con I can think of is I immediately jumped on here to see about getting multiples of just the coast guard bars and it seems you can only buy this mixed box. Which is not a problem I like them all plenty well, just really really like the coast guard scent.
Please SOLDIER dont jack your prices up once you get bigger as I'm sure you will get bigger with this good a product. But that's what I feel really separates you is that you are selling them at a reasonable price and not gouging people.
Buy this!

A great man's soap
Scent: SOLDIER COLLECTION, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
I bought these for my husband as a partial Valentine's Day gift. He likes smelly soaps. These are mildly scented with essential oils instead of chemicals. They are also gluten-free which means I can sneak a use of the "fresh" scents. They lather up nicely but are not soft so that they melt. A good man-sized bar. And, made in the USA!

Go natural with Natural American!
Scent: SOLDIER COLLECTION, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 6), Scent: SOLDIER COLLECTION, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
Hey, guys. About six months ago, I set out on a mission to find an economical, natural soap for men. I tried over 20 sets of soaps. If you’re interested in reading a comprehensive review of these soaps, look up my review under Crate 61-For Him. Then come back to this review to read more about Natural American.
The Basics
Natural American soaps come in 3 variety packs: Soldier, Elements, and Goddess. Soaps can also be purchased in select flavors in packs of one; however, buying the soaps singly is a lot more expensive. Thus, if you want to try this brand, I suggest that you buy a set so that you can try all the flavors. You can probably guess that Soldier is marketed to men, and Goddess is marketed to women. The Elements set is also marketed to men. For this study, I only tried the Soldier and Elements sets, and I will only provide limited information about the Goddess set.
Here's basic information about Natural American soap sets. All information is as of 1/5/23.
• Price/pack: $29.95
• Soaps/pack: 6
• Ounces/bar: 5
• Price/bar: $4.99 (Since soaps come in all sizes, you should really look at the price/ounce to compare different soap brands.)
• Price/ounce: $1.00
• Scents (my descriptors): masculine, feminine, earthy, fruity, and flowery (I give details below.)
• 4-5 Star Rating: 80% (Combines the percentage of people giving the soap a four- or five-star rating. I only considered soaps that rated over 80% on this criterion; thus, as you can see, Native American just made the cut.)
• # Ratings: 3164 (The total number of ratings received. I only considered soaps with hundreds of ratings.)
I have a couple of observations about the basic stats:
First, the price of these sets has changed dramatically since I bought them. At the time of purchase, the Soldier set was priced at $0.75/ounce, and the Elements set was priced at $0.83/ounce, making Natural American one of the more competitive brands that I tested. Currently, both sets cost $1.00/ounce, which is right at the limit of what I arbitrarily consider an “economical” soap. Thus, the brand has gone from being one of the cheapest to one of the most expensive of the soaps in my study.
Second, the three sets are sold under one listing, but all sets have the same price, so all the pricing information listed above holds for all three sets. However, the information on the percentage rating and the number of ratings can’t be disaggregated for each set. All I can tell you is that I eyeballed the reviews, and it seems like more men have purchased the Soldier set. I’ll talk about why the Soldier set is more popular later.
The Scents
Here’s a description of the flavors in each set to help you decide which set you might like. Again, I only tried the Soldier and Elements sets because the emphasis of my study was men’s soaps, so I only provide very basic details on the Goddess set.
Soldier
• Scents: Marine Shore, Space Force Galaxy, Coast Guard Sea, Army Battlefield, Navy Ocean, and Air Force Sky.
• Qualities of the scents: These soaps all have mild scents, and the scents are all “fresh.” When you smell these soaps, you won’t be able to say, for example, “Oh, yeah, this smells like pine.” The only comparison I can make is that these soaps have the same fresh scents that you have come to expect of commercial soaps labeled “fresh scent.”
• My observations: Whoever Natural American hired to market their soaps has earned their million dollars, for I firmly believe that Natural American-Soldier is their best-selling set because of its gimmicky names. With words like “marine,” “space,” “coast guard,” “army,” “navy,” and “air force” in the titles, you would think that the soaps ooze testosterone and hyper-masculinity. Truth be told, I didn’t find these scents to be overly masculine. They smell fresh. That’s it. That’s the big hype. It seems that a lot of men have been suckered into buying these soaps because of the names. Bottom line: If you like fresh-smelling soaps, you’ll like these.
Elements
• Scents: Charcoal Pine, Eucalyptus Aloe, Spring Falls, Citrus Bamboo, Lemon Sea Salt, and Desert Sage.
• Qualities of the scents: These soaps all have mild scents, and the scents are earthy, fruity, and fresh.
• My observations: I rank this set a little above the Soldier set because, in the Elements set, the names of the soaps are at least more descriptive of the actual scents of the soaps. For example, Charcoal Pine smells like pine, and Eucalyptus Aloe smells like eucalyptus. This isn’t true of the Soldier set because the names of the soaps tell you nothing about what the soap should smell like (e.g., Can you guess what Space Force Galaxy should smell like???). If you prefer earthy and fruity scents over fresh scents, you’ll prefer the Elements set. From what I’ve observed on Amazon, most men prefer the Soldier set.
Goddess (I didn’t try this set.)
• Scents: Flirt, Foxy, Divine, Tease, Glitz & Glam, and Perfect 10
• Qualities of the scents: As with the other two sets, I would expect the scents of this set to be mild. I might expect these soaps to have feminine, fresh, or flowery scents.
• My observations: As with the Soldier set, the soaps of the Goddess set all have gimmicky names. As such, you have no way of knowing what each soap should smell like. You can’t even guess from the ingredients because all Native American soaps just list “fragrance” on the ingredient list. I’ll have more to say about this below.
What is natural?
In my review for Crate 61-For Him, I explain in detail my definition of “natural.” In a nutshell, a natural soap should contain essential oils, other natural ingredients like shea butter, and no unnecessary ingredients such as the following: additives, fragrances, micas, colorants, and, of course, unpronounceable chemicals.
I evaluated over 10 brands of soap. If I were to strictly adhere to my definition of all-natural, Crate 61 is the only soap in my study that would qualify. Dr. Squatch also qualifies as all-natural, but it didn’t make my price cut (i.e., it is not economical). All other soaps fail my definition in one way or another.
All Natural American soaps have the same base ingredients: one or more of the following oils (olive oil, coconut oil, canola oil, soybean oil, corn oil, or sunflower oil), organic shea butter, water, lye, fragrance, and colorant. Certain soaps may also have one or more of the following: sea salt, ground oatmeal, activated charcoal, peppermint leaves, or ground clove. What makes each soap bar different is the fragrance and the colorants added to it.
Be attentive and take the time to read the ingredients. Here’s what you may find on the ingredient list of a soap and what should/should not be of concern:
• Lye may be included in the ingredients under one of its many names. For example, Natural American lists lye as either “lye” or “sodium hydroxide lye.” Be aware that lye is used to make soap, but there is no lye in the final product.
• Glycerin*: I’m not an expert soap maker, but my understanding is that glycerin helps to preserve the moisture in your skin and prevents dryness. Natural American doesn’t list glycerin in its ingredients, so I don’t think it’s a glycerin-based soap (see note below).
• Oils: All soaps have one or more oils in them. Some form part of the base soap, and others are essential oils used to give the soap its scent. Natural American earns kudos for using a wide variety of oils in its soaps.
• Shea butter: This is often added to soaps to make them more moisturizing. Natural American earns bonus points for using “organic” shea butter.
• Additives: Sometimes this is listed with no further explanation. Demand to know what is added and for what purpose. Natural American earns points for not hiding ingredients under “additives.”
• Fragrance: In a natural soap, the scent should come from the essential oils in it. Thus, if only “fragrance” is listed, demand to know what was added to the soap. In this category, Natural American loses points, for it lists “fragrance” in its ingredients. Thus, we have no way of knowing what they added to the soaps to give them their scents.
• Micas: Micas are powders made of minerals. They add color and glimmer to soaps. This is an unnecessary ingredient. Natural American doesn’t use micas.
• Colorants: Demand to know exactly what is added to the soap to give it color. This, too, is an unnecessary ingredient. Natural American loses points for using colorants.
• Exfoliants: Exfoliants buff away dead skin and make skin softer, but they can also scratch, scrape, or cut the skin. For example, Natural American adds ground oatmeal to some of its soaps.
• Chemicals: These can vary from brand to brand. Natural American earns points for not using chemicals in its soaps.
*From what I read, all soaps contain glycerin, but some contain more than others. Glycerin is naturally produced as part of the soap-making process. In other words, all soaps have some glycerin. However, some soaps contain more glycerin than others. Those that have a high concentration of glycerin call themselves glycerin soaps. These are easily identifiable because they are translucent.
In the end, everyone’s definition of “natural” is different. What ingredients one is willing to live with are different. And how far one is willing to stray from one’s definition of “natural” is different. How far from YOUR definition of “all-natural” is Natural American given that it adds colorants and generic fragrances to its soaps? You’ll have to decide that for yourself.
My Favorite Scents in My Study
This is the last review that I’m posting for my six-month study of men’s soaps, so I wanted to pause for a second and give some awards for the best scents. Near the end of this review, I’ll comment on the best BRAND. That’s not what I’m doing in this section. Here I am recognizing my favorite SCENTS.
Here are my top honors. These are in no order. I would take any of these any day of the week!

• Fruity flavors (excluding citrus)
o Papaya by Purelis-Aromatherapy
o Papaya & Mango by Purelis-Homemade

Does this mean that you should immediately order these on Amazon? No! Your skin, your nose, and your preferences are different than mine. I tend to like soaps with very strong scents (e.g., pine tar and tea tree); you may prefer weaker scents. I tend to like soaps with earthy and fruity scents; you may prefer soaps with fresh scents. Furthermore, it’s funny to read how people can have completely opposite reactions to certain scents. For example, some men love the fresh, clean scent of pine tar; others detest it and say it smells too strong and stinks of pine cleaner. Some men love the earthy smell of patchouli; others can’t stand it and say it smells of rot. Same smell. Completely opposite reactions. You’ll have to discover for yourself what you like and don’t like.
Natural American Sets Versus Sets of Other Brands
Here is my list of my top 10 soaps. The percentages in parentheses are my own personal ratings.
1. Age of Sage-Masculine (85%)
2. 360 Feel-Men’s (84%)
3. Crate 61-Citrus (83%)
4. Crate 61-For Him (83%)
5. Age of Sage-Fruity (81%)
6. Crate 61-Popular (81%)
7. Crate 61-Dry Skin (80%)
8. Age of Sage-Galactic (79%)
9. Age of Sage-Macho (77%)
10. 360 Feel-Fresh (77%)
Natural American soap sets didn’t make my top ten, but they did rank in my top 25.
Here’s some general advice to help you pick the one(s) you might want to try:
1. Age of Sage-Masculine: strong earthy scents
2. 360 Feel-Men’s: moderate earthy and fruity scents
3. Crate 61-For Him: mild to moderate earthy and fruity scents
4. Age of Sage-Macho or 360 Feel-Fresh: mild to moderate fresh scents
5. Bali-Masculine: mild earthy and fruity scents
6. Purelis-Men’s: mild to moderate earthy scents
7. Natural American-Soldier: mild fresh scents
8. Natural American-Elements: mild earthy scents
I clearly prefer soaps with stronger scents, and I prefer earthy scents over fresh scents. However, your preferences might be different.
Natural American Versus Other Brands
Here’s how Natural American stacks up to other brands.
1. Crate 61 (82%)
2. Age of Sage (81%)
3. 360 Feel (80%)
4. Bali (74%)
5. Dr. Bronner’s (73%)
6. Purelis (73%)
7. Natural American (71%)
Natural American ranked in 7th place. I reiterate that these ratings reflect MY personal preferences. Your rankings could be different. In my review for Crate 61-For Him, I provide additional reflections on these brands. I think that Natural American ranked lower on my list for several reasons:
• I have very dry skin, and Natural American soaps didn’t do as good a job as others of moisturizing my skin. If dry skin isn’t a problem for you, you’d probably do quite well with Natural American soaps.
• I simply didn’t care for the scents of Natural American soaps. The Soldier set has “fresh” smells; and, as previously stated, I prefer earthy and fruity scents over fresh scents. However, if you like fresh scents, you may very well like this set, and it has plenty of positive reviews on Amazon. I preferred the Elements set because it has earthy and fruity scents; however, I felt that other brands (e.g., Crate 61, Age of Sage, and 360 Feel) had better scents.
Strengths and Weaknesses of Natural American
Here are the strengths of Natural American:
• They disclose the specific ingredients of each soap. I attached a snapshot of the ingredients of each soap for each set.
• They use organic shea butter. Most brands use regular shea butter.
• They list colorant as an ingredient. Although a natural soap shouldn’t have colorants, I’m giving Natural American credit for being honest about it. Most brands don’t list colorant as an ingredient although they use colorants in their soaps.
Here are the weaknesses of Natural American:
• They do not specify what they add as “fragrance,” and they add colorants to their soaps. (However, other brands do much worse things like add unnecessary chemicals to their soaps.)
• The scents are weak, and the scents are not as pleasing as those of other brands. On the other hand, plenty of people have given their scents favorable reviews.
• The soaps left my skin a little dry (though not as dry as other brands).
Recommendations for Natural American:
• Add a little more shea butter to your soaps to make them more moisturizing.
• Eliminate the colorants.
• Instead of using generic “fragrances” in your soaps, use and list essential oils.
• Eliminate the gimmicks and use honest names that tell you something about the scent of the soap.
Would I Buy Natural American Soaps Again?
Given that I found other options that I liked better, I probably wouldn’t buy Natural American soaps again. However, this shouldn’t dissuade you from trying it. On Amazon, plenty of people have reported being very satisfied with Natural American!
The Final Verdict
Now that I’ve completed my individual reviews of the brands in my study, I wanted to share one last list with you. My main goal in this study was to identify economical, all-natural soaps for men. All the soaps that I’ve reviewed (except for Dr. Squatch) qualify as economical. If you take a hard line on all-natural, here’s how you might rank the soaps.
1. 100% all-natural without exception: Crate 61 is the only one that would qualify without exception. (If you’re willing to pay 2-3 times more than Crate 61, Dr. Squatch would also qualify.)
2. Soaps that only add colorants: Bali is the only brand that would fall in this category. Furthermore, I believe that Bali uses natural botanicals to add color to its soaps; therefore, one might say that Bali is 95% natural. In the end, however, I would argue that colorants are an unnecessary and undesirable ingredient in an all-natural soap.
3. Soaps that add colorants and “fragrance”:
a. Age of Sage and Natural American rank about the same here. I would rank Natural American a little higher than Age of Sage because Natural American is transparent about the fact that it uses colorants. Age of Sage uses colorants but doesn’t list it in its ingredients. These two brands I might rank about 90% natural.
b. 360 Feel ranks a little lower because, in addition to using “fragrance” and colorants, it also uses “additives” that are unspecified in nature, as well as micas (minerals that add color and glimmer to soaps). 360 Feel we might rank about 80% natural.
4. Soaps that, in addition to possibly adding the above, also add chemicals or other unnecessary substances to their soaps.
a. Dr. Bronner’s adds citric acid (a preservative?) and tocopherol (a form of vitamin E) to its soaps. On the other hand, Dr. Bronner’s doesn’t add “fragrance” or colorants to its soap. Thus, I might rank Dr. Bronner’s as 75% natural.
b. Purelis adds propylene glycol (a chemical that helps the skin retain moisture) to its soaps. To me, the addition of this chemical to its soaps disqualifies Purelis as an “all-natural” soap. Thus, I might rank Purelis as 70% natural.
Here are my subjective rankings of how all-natural the soaps are:
1. Crate 61 (100%)
2. Bali (95%)
3. Age of Sage & Natural American (90%)
4. 360 Feel (80%)
5. Dr. Bronner’s (75%)
6. Purelis (70%)
Thus, if you want an economical, 100% all-natural soap, your clear choice is Crate 61. You can decide for yourself how far you’re willing to bend your definition of all-natural as you explore the other options on the list.
Of course, “all-natural” is only one of many criteria that I used to evaluate the soaps, and I’m sure that you will use other criteria as well. For example, do you like the scent of the soap? Does the soap moisturize or dry your skin? Does the soap lather well? Does it last? Etc.
