I first encountered Southern Natural soaps about 10 years ago and loved them from the start. I stoped using their soaps due to constant travel and being located overseas. During this period I developed a skin condition causing a rash on my front torso that eventually spread to my back and down my arms. The doctor said it was a genetic disease and nothing could be done. Turns out he was wrong. The rash has completely disappeared thanks to Southern Natural soap! I have also introduced my wife to them and she loves the various scents. There is no down side and it is now our number 1 soap.
