They don’t tell you they’re sorry for your loss? Ask if you’re an embalmer by trade?Lilac Vegetal doesn’t cause physical irritation. But I get irritated being asked why I washed my face in a urinal.

I have 4x soaps from the same manufacturer, all 4 using the same base and ingredients and only flagrance differs. One soap is fine on my skin, despite having the strongest scent (by far). The other three which have mild scents are burning my skin.
The soaps are from Officina Artigiana Milano. The one which is okay is the Stay Traditional. I really like this one, hence why I am on the second jar. My skin reacts with the Maremoto, Narjan and a tiny bit with 5 Oli del Benessere, which is almost lacking any scent. The latter is a super fatty one, I can see the oils clumping at the surface of the soap.Curious what the soaps are and if the three that bother you have a common scent component. It’s got to be something in the fragrance, right?

I am not sure if it's the fragrance or the base which might not be ph neutral. I am not a profesional soap maker, a chemical engineer or a dermatologist, so I can't say what's One thing is clear though, if I apply the lather on my face and leave it on for a few minutes without shaving, my skin is reacting. Same with applying the lather on my hands, I feel it a bit.
As far as I know, my skin is not sensitive to fragrance as I use their aftershaves/cologne and I don't have any issues.

same for me. a soap with real sandalwood oil causes very mild stinging for me.I’m surprised how many have mentioned sandalwood as an irritant. Never would have guessed that one.
FWIW, in my experience, it's not the specific ingredients that cause more/less inflammation.
Rather, it's residual too much alkali (potash, lye) leftover!

Tried another jar of Narjan today. This one performed great. Since I really like the scent, I will keep it out and use it till I finish it.I’ve used both the 5 Oil del Benessere and the Maremoto and my experience, plus yours, makes me think the brand might not be the most precise when it comes to mixing ingredients.
