Glycerin is the main hydrating ingredient in Pears soap. It doesn’t coat the skin with a greasy film. This allows the skin to breathe, keeping it vibrant and healthy. On 6 January 2010, after a Facebook campaign, it was reported in the media that Pears planned to abandon the new formula and that by March 2010 a new version would be available that is "much closer to the original". [17] On 8 January 2010, it was reported in the media that Pears would not abandon the new formula but "make further improvements, by delivering a scent that more closely resembles" the original formula.

So Pears is middling in terms of quality, texture, and effectiveness. TFM is usually higher for ‘toilet soaps’. These are luxury, high-end, beneficial soaps. Pears is not a toilet soap, but a ‘bathing bar’. It is a regular cleaning soap, which isn’t meant specifically for grooming or cosmetic purposes. Is it vegan? Soap sometimes use animal fats, as well as other animal products such as honey or milk. Look for a vegan brand. However, the Leaping Bunny logo on a product does not always mean it's vegan - it can still include animal products e.g. lanolin; but it won't have ingredients which have been tested on animals. The table in our guide to cruelty free and animal testing certification schemes has more information on this.Even though Pears is very tender, its pH is very alkaline. Baby skin pH is even more delicate. An alkaline soap can cause redness, allergies, inflammation, etc. The soap is labeled hypoallergenic. But ingredients like colorants and glycol ethers can cause breathing problems. Pears soaps and body washes are paraben-free. Parabens are usually added as preservatives. They prolong the soap’s shelf-life. They prevent the growth of bacteria or fungi. Instead, Pears uses Butylated HydroxyToluene (BHT) and Sodium Meta-bisulfite.
