Material Safety Data Sheet
R-value is a measure of thermal resistance used to describe the effectiveness of insulation. The higher the r-value, the better the insulation.
Insul-Lock® insulation products and accessories are widely recognized by the HVACR and Plumbing wholesale trade. They offer superior product characteristics such as cold weather flexibility, durable skin surface and exacting manufacturing tolerances.
Insul-Lock® Seam-Seal pipe insulation is an environmentally friendly, CFC-free, flexible elastomeric insulation, pre-slit
with a factory-applied pressure sensitive adhesive. It is black in color and identified as Insul-Lock® Seam-Seal. This superior closed cell insulation is designed to retard heat flow and prevent
condensation when properly installed. Insul-Lock® Seam-Seal pipe insulation is pre-slit with a factory applied
specially formulated bonding adhesive applied to both seam surfaces and comes with convenient built-in release liners which allow for easy installation. Insul-Lock® Seam-Seal has the same excellent insulation properties as standard Insul-Tube® and is used on similar applications such as refrigerant lines, cold water plumbing, roof drains and chilled water systems. Insul-Lock® Seam- Seal can be used with heat tracing/heat tapes.
Insul-Lock uses the pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) seam-seal system. The PSA system enables the user to fit the tube over the pipe, peel back the release liner and apply pressure to close (starting at the ends and working your way to the center) to install your insulation in seconds! This system guarantees a strong, durable seal without the risk of messy adhesives that could spill.
Insul-Lock® Seam-Seal is non-porous, non-fibrous
and resists mold growth. An EPA registered antimicrobial agent is incorporated into the product providing additional protection
against mold, fungal and bacterial growth.
K-Flex USA elastomeric insulation products are GREENGUARD® certified as low VOC materials, meeting the requirements of the Children and Schools classification, the most stringent requirements. Additionally, all K-Flex USA elastomeric insulation products are GREENGUARD® listed for mold resistance and meet the "mold resistant" criteria.

I am an amateur and used the product to insulate my basement pipes for my hot water heating system (to prevent unnecessary heat loss to the basement.) (Max water temp is 180F) This product came with a tape adhesive that went the length of the pipe insulation. After a few days the adhesive loosened and I used duct tape to reinforce.I am also unsure (with this and insulation for a smaller pipe) if I measured/ordered correctly for the size of pipe. How snugly should the insulation fit?The product was easy to use and seems to do the job. I don't like to use fiberglass wrap and this was much easier. The pipe wrap could be cut to size and used on elbows to some extent. (Because I was not using the insulation to protect from freezing, it was not necessary to get every spot of pipe covered.)Perhaps this was overkill for hot water heating pipes, but hardware stores do not carry insulation sleeves for larger pipes. Not sure if I will recover my costs with heat saved. (Basement was always the warmest room in the house!) Not sure if I will insulate the incoming pipes (cooler) as well as the outgoing lines.Seems to be a quality product.

I use it to wrap electrical cables that run up the inside of my sailboat mast (45 ft boat, 63 ft mast)to dampen any slapping noise that is typical of cables inside a mast. I wanted a product that would not disintegrate/crumble over the years, and your specs seem to fit the bill. Time will tell. However, the product is very easy to apply and with judicious use of your special tape between 6 ft sections it stays in place on this vertical array very well. Thanks for a great product. John

IT'S GOOD. iT'S SOAFT AND FLEXIABLE FORM RUBBER PIPE INSULATION. IT'S NOT THE MUCH MORE RIGID FOAM PLASTIC INSULATION WHICH REQUIRES SEPARATE MOLEDED PIECES OF INSULATION FOR EACH FITTING.WITH THE K-FLEX YOU CAN INSTALL A LONG PIECE ON A STRAIGHT PIECE OF PIPE AND THEN SLIDE IT AROUND THE 90 DEGRELL ELBOWS. IF IT STICKS JUST SPRAY THE PIPE OR THE INSULATION WITH A LITTLE SILICON SPRAY. THEN IS WILL SLIP AND SLIDE VERY EASILY. THERE ARE TWO PEEL AND STICK GLUE STRIPS. ONE FOR THE BUT JOINT AND ONE THAT OVER LAPS THE BUT JOINT. OTHER BRANDS DO JUST THE BUTT JOINT. ALSO PEX SUPPLY HAS GOOD PRICES ON THIS AND HARD TO FIND SIZES. THEY CRAM IT IN A CUIB BOX SO IT COMES OUT ALL BENT OUT OF SHAP. DO NOT LEAVE IT IN THE BOX. LAY IT OUT FLAT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND IT WILL STRAIGHTEN OUT.

Not perfect but decent
By Steve GP
from Washington, DC
I installed this insulation recently in various sizes on some radiator pipes. Generally I'm happy with it. The exterior still feels warm and thus letting hear through, but I think it's doing a decent job. Though only time will tell. It has sticky material to keep the insulation sealed but either I mismeasured or the insulation was small and I had to use zip ties to keep this closed around the pipe. The price was reasonable compare to some other locations I looked at.
Works great and was very easy to install
By Bob the Indy Mopar Man
from Indianapolis, Indiana
I had installed a dryer booster fan system and I went straight up through the roof. Having used galvanized pipe, I found that the laundry room got very warm, so I researched on line and found this foam insulation. Since The Family Handyman magazine recommended this company, I felt comfortable ordering from Pex Supply. It was very easy to cut and install. The sizing was a perfect fit and it looks good. Laundry room temperature dropped back to normal.

YNP Publishes New Winter Use Rules
Yellowstone National Park published its new rule for winter use in the park yesterday. The rule implements the provisions that were developed through public participation of the past several years during public comment periods and public hearings in the gateway communities. The plan is rooted in the concept of regulating transportation events which are determined by noise and emissions. An additional provision was discussed at length with reporters yesterday involving the letting of contracts for winter travel providers. Superintendent Dan Wenk explained that after this year, existing contracts will expire and new contracting will commence. Among the requirements of those new contracts, he says will be that the tour company can provide both snowmobile and snowcoach experiences. Wenk says, "If we don't get bidders in that way, we'll have to reconsider; but our intention is to require all operators offer both snowmobile and snowcoaches." Wenk says the events allocated to the contractors will be comprised of combinations of snowcoach and snowmobile trips each day. He explains that they would not be permitted to provide purely snowmobile tours. He used an example of a concession contractor allocated five transportation events. Wenk says they may be allocated to have three snowcoaches and two snowmobile groups. Wenk says, "They may never exceed two transportation events under that contract for access to the park on snowmobiles, but they could use up to five for snowcoaches." The new plan also allows one non-commercially guided group of up to five snowmobiles to enter through each park entrance each day with those permits being issued by lottery. The new rule does not become effective until the 2014/2015 winter season, with the rules imposed over the past several years remaining in place for the upcoming season.

Climber Makes Full Recovery After Fall
A little over a year ago, a climber form Texas slipped and fell 12-hundred feet while decending Ellingwood Couloir on the south side of the Middle Teton in Grand Teton National Park. Now the 21-year-old has not only recovered, but doing some rather challenging physical activity again. Ryan Haymaker of Houston had fractured his femur, a patella, his pelvis and three vertebrae, collapsed both lungs and sustained major head trauma – and was in a coma for 18 days. After his fall, he was flown directly by Air Idaho Life Flight to the Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls, Idaho where he was listed in guarded condition. This autumn, however, Haymaker is back at school; he's biking and is hoping to snowboard this winter. He also says he intends to return to Jackson Hole one day.

Website helps potato growers avoid, manage glyphosate issues
Glyphosate can be a great solution for potato growers, especially for pre-plant control of weeds and volunteer grains.
However, drift, tank contamination, and misapplication during the growing season can reduce the yield and quality of potato crops. Similar effects on seed potatoes can be found well into the following year.
In this month's "Focus on Potato" webcast, titled "Effect of Glyphosate on Potatoes," Andrew Robinson, assistant professor and Extension potato agronomist at North Dakota State University and University of Minnesota, helps practitioners in the potato industry better understand and identify the effects of glyphosate in potatoes and how it can be managed.
In this talk, Robinson specifically explains:
How glyphosate comes into contact with potatoes;
Symptoms of glyphosate in potato plants and what you should look for;
Symptoms of glyphosate residues in seed; and
Strategies for managing glyphosate issues.
This 24-minute presentation is open access through Aug. 31.
These and other "Focus on Potato" presentations can be viewed at www.plantmanagementnetwork.org/fop.
"Focus on Potato" is a publication of the Plant Management Network. For more information, sign up for PMN's free electronic newsletter, PMN Update.
The Plant Management Network (www.plantmanagementnetwork.org) is a nonprofit online publisher whose mission is to enhance the health, management, and production of agricultural and horticultural crops. It achieves this mission through applied, science-based resources, like "Focus on Potato."
To help achieve its nonprofit publishing mission, PMN partners with more than 80 organizations, which include universities, nonprofits, and agribusinesses.

Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Narrowly beating a midnight deadline, Congress voted Monday to renew an expiring ban on plastic firearms that can evade airport detection machines. But Republicans blocked an effort to toughen the restrictions -- the latest defeat for gun-control forces in the year since the grade school massacre in Newtown, Conn.
President Barack Obama signed the law before midnight, using an auto pen as he traveled to Africa for ceremonies honoring the late South African President Nelson Mandela. The device Obama used to sign the bill has been used for the signatures of traveling presidents since the administration of President George W. Bush.
By voice vote, the Senate gave final congressional approval to a 10-year extension of the prohibition against guns that can slip past metal detectors and X-ray machines. The House voted last week for an identical decade-long renewal of the ban.
GOP senators rejected an effort by Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to strengthen the ban by requiring that such weapons contain undetachable metal parts. Some plastic guns meet the letter of the current law with a metal piece that can be removed, making them a threat to be slipped past security screeners at schools, airports and elsewhere.
Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Congress should extend the ban for a decade and study Schumer's more restrictive plan to make sure it doesn't interfere with technologies used by legitimate gun manufacturers.
He said the bill's recent introduction suggests that "the real objectives were things other than just getting an extension."
At a news conference later, Schumer said he had "no ulterior motive" in proposing to strengthen the ban and said he hoped to find compromise with Grassley in coming weeks.
"The bottom line is technology advances and it does good things and it does bad things," he said.
Underscoring the issue's political sensitivity, both of Monday's votes were on unanimous consent requests. That meant any single senator could scuttle the proposals by objecting.
It also meant the votes were by voice and that no individual senators' votes were recorded. For a handful of Democratic senators seeking re-election next year in GOP-leaning states, the day's votes could have been difficult.
The National Rifle Association, which has been instrumental in blocking gun restrictions, expressed no opposition to renewing the law. But the gun lobby said it would fight any expanded requirements, including Schumer's, "that would infringe on our Second Amendment rights" to bear arms.
The rejection of stricter curbs highlighted the repeated setbacks for gun-control advocates in Congress since last Dec. 14. On that day, a gunman fatally shot 20 first-graders and six staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School before killing himself.
Despite that -- and other recent mass shootings, including at the Washington Navy Yard just blocks from the Capitol -- supporters of expanded gun control are nearing the end of a year in which they have been unable to push any new firearms restrictions through Congress.
"We're several decades behind the NRA," said Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn. "This is a long game, and it's going to take us some time to build up the resources necessary to compete."
Congressional Republicans have resisted tightening the restrictions against undetectable guns, but those lawmakers -- as well as the NRA -- have not opposed renewing the current prohibition. The House approved a 10-year extension last week.
Plastic guns were in their infancy when President Ronald Reagan and Congress first enacted the ban against undetectable firearms, and when it was renewed in 1998 and 2003. But such weapons have become a growing threat and can now be produced by 3-D printers, which are becoming better and more affordable.
Supporters of tightening the rules say the 10-year renewal helps the gun lobby because it reduces Democrats' ability to revisit the issue.
The Sandy Hook killings prompted Obama and Democrats to make gun control a top domestic priority this year -- but to no avail in Congress.
Their most stinging loss occurred in April, when the Senate turned aside an effort to expand federal background checks for would-be gun purchasers, an effort to prevent criminals and mentally ill people from getting weapons. That measure would have required the checks for all sales at gun shows and online -- expanding a system that is currently required only for sales through licensed firearms dealers.
Also defeated were proposed bans on assault weapons and large-capacity ammunition magazines.
In a measure of GOP opposition and NRA clout, those proposals never even came to votes in the Republican-majority House.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) -- A former University of Virginia lacrosse player has been sentenced to 23 years in prison for the alcohol-fueled beating death of his ex-girlfriend.
George W. Huguely V was sentenced Thursday in Charlottesville for the slaying of Yeardley Love, a 22-year-old suburban Baltimore woman who was found face down in her blood-soaked pillow on May 3, 2010. Authorities said the 24-year-old defendant left his on-again, off-again girlfriend to die after he kicked a hole in her bedroom door and physically confronted her about their sputtering two-year relationship. Police said he had been drinking heavily that day.
Circuit Judge Edward Hogshire reduced the jury's recommended sentence by three years. The jury found the Chevy Chase, Md., man guilty in February of second-degree murder and grand larceny. The defense sought a 14-year sentence.
Judge sentences Huguely to 23 years.
A Roman Catholic priest has testified that a former University of Virginia lacrosse player convicted of killing his ex-girlfriend is a spiritual person who displayed no anger or aggression in his presence.
The Rev. Joseph Scordo testified Thursday in Charlottesville at George W. Huguely V's sentencing hearing. The Chevy Chase, Md., man faces 26 years in prison for the beating death of Yeardley Love of suburban Baltimore.
Scordo said he has visited Huguely weekly in jail since the May 2010 slaying of Love. He said the "wild, out-of-control" person that Huguely has been portrayed as is not the man he knows.
Earlier, prosecution witnesses described Huguely beating a man who went home with Love after a party. A woman also testified he angrily put his hands around her neck.
Witnesses at a sentencing hearing for a former University of Virginia lacrosse player are testifying about violent encounters in the years and months before he fatally beat his girlfriend.
One witness said Thursday that George W. Huguely V beat him after he went home from a party with Yeardley Love, while another said an angry Huguely put his hands around her neck in a bar.
Huguely faces up to 26 years in prison for the May 2010 slaying of Love.
The Chevy Chase, Md., man was convicted in February of second-degree murder in the beating death of the suburban Baltimore woman.
The defense has yet to present witnesses.

Wiedmer: SEC could lose big in realignment
Being concerned about A&M "double-crossing" the SEC overlooks why A&M pursued the SEC in the first place...to give Texas the shaft. A&M shot down the Pac 12 move last year when Texas wanted them to follow and there is zero percent chance A&M would change course now.

Rocky Mountain Farmers Union commends house vote on clean energy and security
On July 7 Rocky Mountain Farmers Union sent a letter of support to members of the congressional delegation from Colorado and New Mexico who voted to pass the amended Clean Energy and Security bill last week.
"This was a tough vote," RMFU president Kent Peppler said. "When the bill came out of committee, Farmers Union opposed it because it was so unfair to the family farmers and ranchers who have taken their stewardship of the land and water seriously for generations. Fortunately, with the leadership of Representative Collin Peterson, D-MN, the House made important changes to the bill."
Peppler is a Mead, Colo., farmer. "We are actively fighting for renewable energy," he said. "We support sustainable agriculture through conservation efforts, and we are doing what we can to balance America's food needs against degradation of the environment. The amended bill takes agriculture's positive role into account."
RMFU supported the amended bill, which contained a handful of changes that recognized agriculture's role in the mitigation of climate change. "Farmers Union asked for a half dozen changes. We wanted the bill to recognize the efforts of 'early adopters' who are part of our carbon credits program. We have a science-based program of carbon sequestration in place, and we asked that the agricultural and forestry programs of the Clean Energy Act be administered by the USDA to continue those good efforts. Above all, we wanted the portions of the program that directly impact us to be administered by people who understand agriculture."
RMFU has been a leader in renewable energy development. "Agriculture has changed a lot since the Depression. Today farming and ranching depend on energy to run trucks and tractors. Clean energy is a win/win for us. Using renewable energy will reduce our production costs, and clean energy gives us new crops to harvest--wind, sun, and biofuels--for new profits."
Peppler singled out Betsy Markey (Dist 4, Colo.), Martin Heinrich (Dist.1, N.M.), and Ben Lujðn (Dist. 3, N.M.) for special praise. "With the alarmism and misinformation circulating in our rural communities, even after the bill was modified, it took real character to vote Yes. We are proud of their integrity and confident that rural Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming will see a net benefit as the Clean Energy Act helps us deal with the pressing problems of climate change."

" Brand: Pears / Type: Soap / hypo-allergenic / What it does: Cleanses, "
* Prices may differ from that shownMore Offers
This soap was actually one of my accidental discoveries as when we went on holiday last month I forgot to pack my daughter's usual shower gel. My niece came with us and her mum had packed her this Pears soap and since her and my daughter usually got washed together, my daughter loved using the soap and I found it had a really good cleansing effect on her skin. Since back in the UK I have now bought 2 bars in Superdrug to stock up on, as she has a bath every night and it seems to diminish in size each time so one doesn't last very long!
This soap bar is a brownish/orange, transclucent oval shaped bar, with a slight dip in the middle and the brand Pears engraved into it. It is a rather thick bar of soap with lots of natural ingredients like glycerine, natural oils, rosemary, cedar and thyme which is quite neutral making this soap versatile and unisex and pretty much anyone can use it.
My daughter mainly washes with this soap, using it with a flannel and rubbed together in warm water, it creates ample suds and lathers really easily to wash her skin effectively that we can actually see the dirt being removed in the bath water. It's gentle on her young skin and she hasn't suffered any adverse reactions so moving upwards from using baby sensitive washes and shower gels (not that she has sensitive skin, just I like to take precautions in case anything contains any irritants!) this has been an ideal product for her to use.
The soap has quite a unique scent, which although hard to pinpoint it is slightly woody and has slight spice scent elements to it which remind me of cinnamon and lavender and slightly ginger which you would think would be awful but surprisingly they go compliment well and make for a vigorous bathing experience! The soap is good as it is not made with animal fat and the box states it is hypo-allergenic.
These bars are relatively inexpensive as I bought a 125g bar for only 79p in Superdrug which although it comes in more expensive than the Dove I have bought for myself in the past it really lasts long (providing you don't do what my daughter does and leave it in the bath to waste away!) so it's quite good value for money. Overall it is a soap I would 100% recommend and it gets 5 stars as my daughter loves using it and it does what I'd hope a soap would do - clean!
Pears Transparent Soap
Good old Pears soap. I remember first using this at my Grandmother's house as a nipper and begging my Mother for a bar. It was looked on as a relatively adult soap back then in the seventies and it made it feel even more special to me.
Back then you could buy the bars loose in any chemist shop, such as Boots and they were easily recognisable, as they still are today as the Pears logo was engraved into each bar on each side of the soap.
Nowadays they come in a box with the Pears logo on it as well; so we are under no illusions as to what soap we are using whether it is in or out of the box. The soap is an oval, concave shape and is pretty easy to hold, even when wet. It is a good size and I usually buy the one hundred and twenty five gram bar, which I am reviewing here. You can also buy a seventy-five gram bar, which is a little better to hold for the ladies who use or for those men with small hands.
There isn't a really distinctive smell to the soap when you take it out of the box and have a sniff but once it is wet the smell does come through quite well. I used to think it smelled medicinal as a child and could never really pinpoint any one aroma with any accuracy, and this just added to the mystery even more. The soap looks like a nugget of amber and always reminds me of the movie 'Jurassic Park'. I always expect to see a mosquito or similar insect embedded in the soap.
I love a good lather when it comes to soap and Pears is probably one of my favourite soaps to get a good lather from. It really foams up well and surprisingly, the way I go at it, it lasts a really long time. A bar can last me a good two or three weeks. I say this through gritted teeth, as this used to be the case but the soap has now changed (see later on in the review).
The lather feels really soft to the skin and leaves you feeling fresh and clean.
The soap was always advertised as being "Hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic" and Pears always represented this fact on their boxes. That has now changed because in 2009 Pears changed the way the soap was produced and had to take this claim off the product. Many fans of the soap said this must be due to the production process now using more chemicals and were aghast at the fact that the original ingredients of the famous soap had now been tainted.
I mentioned that the bar lasted a long time but due to the new elements. The bar now feels softer and does not last as long. In fact in a test for myself, I held the soap under hot water. The old bar would've generated a little lather and would've come out unscathed and still solid. The new bar goes really soft and after applying minimal pressure I squeezed it into a sticky mess of gloop. I saw this as the end of an era and I personally believe that Pears have watered down there soap in order to mass produce it in the cheapest possible way and at the greatest possible profit to themselves.
OK, they are a business and in business there is no room for sentiment but Pears have been making their famous soap with the old formula since seventeen eighty-nine and for me it is almost sacrilegious to change a winning formula; to coin a cliché (pun intended), if it ain't broke, then don't fix it.
There was indeed uproar and fans of the original soap created a Facebook page to demand that Pears bring back the original formula. A spokesperson for Pears agreed that they would indeed be bringing the old formula back in 2010. This was never to materialise and another statement followed which announced that they would try to enhance the new formula to make the soap smell more like the original. I don't know about passing the bar of soap but the proverbial buck as definitely been passed through a few hands.
One of the main factors in the new soap being different is the fact that it doesn't contain glycerol like the old soap. The new soap also contains limonene and various other chemicals such as, sorbitol, sodium chloride, etidronic acid, propylene glycol and alcohol; all of which the old soap did not contain. So it is hardly any wonder that the new version does not smell or feel like the old version.
One argument for the new soap is that it is supposed to be free of any of the more severe ingredients that were also used in cleaning products. The old soap was supposed to contain these and the new soap is meant to be friendlier in terms of the content. I really don't see how this is possible as the new ingredients read like a list from a chemistry set. Pears do argue that the 'secret' Pears ingredients still remain so it is really hard to argue for or against either one with any clarity.
All I know is that I used to love this soap and still do to a certain extent but feel a little cheated as the bar doesn't last as long so I have to buy it more regularly now. I did however, visit a quaint little soap shop in Delft, the city famous for its ceramics and pottery and I picked up a bar of soap that was attached to a loofer type sponge. The bar does not say Pears on it but it is exactly like the old bars of Pears soap and it has lasted me months.
Pears is still a good soap and you still get a good clean from it but it has been changed by progress, but what isn't these days. It still holds fond memories for me and I will always remember using it as a kid.
I would've given it five stars but the new version has knocked it down to a three for me.

My boyfriend rarely gets excited when shopping for toiletries but he did when he saw a bar on Pears soap on sale! He said it reminded him of staying with his grandma who was a devoted user of Pears. I didn't think I had tried it before myself, so we decided to buy a bar. It is actually quite easy to get hold if you are really looking for it, as I have since seen it in Boots, Superdrug, Morrisons, Wilkinsons and Savers, to name a few. We paid 59p which seemed a reasonable price for any soap - that price is for a 125g bar.
It comes in a white card box with a picture of the soap bar on the front. It is labelled as offering gentle care, and the back of the packet contains the statement that Pears will clean the skin thoroughly whilst moisturising it. It contains glycerine and natural oils to help care for the skin. I am lucky that my facial skin is not sensitive, but I like the idea of gentle products anyway. I tend to use a facial wash at the beginning and end of the day, but I do use soap in between times if I am cleaning myself up after coming home from the allotment for example. I also use it in the bath.
The back of the packet also contains brief information about the heritage of the brand, stating that the soap is made by a unique process, which apparently involves it being left to mature until it reaches its characteristic transparent appearance. The brand is described as 200 years old, although I believe the recipe has changed since it was first produced. My boyfriend felt that the soap didn't smell exactly as it used to, which made him think that either they had changed the recipe, or his memory was playing tricks. When I googled the brand for more information, I noticed that the recipe had indeed changed, which led to a great number of complaints at the time. As I did not try the original soap, these changes do not matter to me, if I like the new version.
The bar is oval and feels chunky. It looks attractive to me, with it's warm amber colour, and the traditional brand name running across the middle. It also has the brand name on the bottom, the style of which makes it look a bit old fashioned, but in a nice retro sort of way. It always attracts comments from visitors who want to tell me their Pears memories! I wish I could say I like the scent of the soap as much as it's appearance. It is very distinctive, and quite different from other soaps I have tried, with the exception of an antiseptic carbolic type soap I sampled once. The Pears soap smells to me of a combination of spice, menthol and antiseptic lotion. It reminds me of hospitals and cleanliness, but as a toiletry, it isn't something I would try and take a sniff of for the pleasure of it. I can't be off from smelling it when I am actually using it though, as the scent is strong. I can also smell it on my hands for a long time after washing them. This no doubt pleases the Pears lovers, but it doesn't suit me! I didn't hate it enough to stop using the bar though, because as a cleaning product, I think it is good.
The soap is hard and solid feeling, which is probably why it seems to last for such a long time. It took me weeks to actually notice it had reduced in size. It definitely isn't one of those products that seems to rapidly dissolve if you leave it in water too long. I was surprised it didn't lather very well, which is another thing that struck my boyfriend as different from how he remembers it. I do feel that it cleans my skin regardless, and leaves it feeling very refreshed, so I can put up with a lack of lather. My hands always feel soft after using it, and not all dried out or tight. The same is true of my face, where I have combination skin. My cheeks can get a bit dry, and if soap is going to cause any feeling of tightness, it will be in those areas. I have not experienced any. I would not say that those dry areas feel very soft though, so I think that the moisturising benefits only go so far.
Overall, I like the Pears cleaning abilities, and the fact I always feel refreshed after using it. Unfortunately, the scent does not appeal to me, and I ceased using on my face for that reason - too close to my nose! I finished the bar as a hand soap mainly, but even so, I didn't like the lingering aroma. I would recommend it if you are looking for decent soap, and you do like the smell. I wouldn't buy it for it's moisturising qualities, because in my experience, it isn't great at helping dry areas even if "normal" parts of my skin felt softer. If you do get on with it, I think it is good value as it is so long lasting.
[This review is also on Ciao under my user name.]
I acquired my 75g bar of Pears soap on a recent hotel trip to London, the hotel in question provides a complimentary bar of soap alongside the other hotel toiletries, a very nice touch.
Pricing and Availability
As my bar was gratis I didn't part with any hard earned cash but a quick look around suggests that the retail price for a 125g bar will set me back 60p (Tesco-October 2012), a bargain. I can't seem to find a price for an individual bar of the 75g version, only wholesale prices, so I shall assume that it is a hotel exclusive size.
The 125g size bars of Pears soap are widely available from supermarkets, chemists and general stores like Wilkinsons and Home Bargains. It seems that a bar of Pears is relatively easy to come by.
My bar came in a clear cellophane packet which had the 'Pears- transparent soap' brand and tag line printed all over it. The cellophane is a good quality and easy to pull open at either end and the soap easily pops out.
The cellophaned bar was neatly nestled inside a sturdy cardboard box that was glued shut at either end. A slide of the thumb under the tab swiftly opens the box. The box has a glossy finish, something I wouldn't have expected on a product that only costs 60p, in fact you do get a lot of packaging for your pennies. The box features several incarnations of the 'Pears' logo of varying sizes. You are never left wondering who made the soap. There are images of the jewel like soap dotted about the packaging and they look bubbly, foamy and very enticing.
The box contains the obligatory information such as contact details, weight, ingredients and shelf life. The information on the back of the box is written in a very stilted fashion which seems a shame after they have gone to so much effort on the packaging. The back label informs us of the companies history (Pears is 200 years old), the manufacturing process (unique) and the benefits you can reap from using this soap (moisturised and gently cleansed skin). The box also brandishes the 'gentle care' logo a couple of times.
Upon opening the box and undoing the cellophane, the first thing I noticed was the fragrance. I am now aware that the fragrance is a key aspect of the popularity of Pears soap but at the time I was just expecting a bland soapy smell. I couldn't have been more wrong. I was pleasantly surprised with the fragrance. The soap has an almost medicinal, herbal scent. It reminded me of when you walk past a Chinese herbalist shop and get that wonderful waft of aromatic herbs and spices. The fragrance was definitely not what I was expecting and I was very much impressed with it.
The soap itself is a wonderful amber colour, I half expected to find a fossil inside! It is a typical soap shape, ergonomic to grip but just as easy to drop as any other soap when wet. The 'Pears' branding is imprinted into the soap and 'pears transparent soap' is impressed onto the reverse of the bar. There is definitely an English heritage feel to the bar and an air of pride in it's long production run.
The bar lathers up nicely using the traditional method of rubbing the bar between your hands. I noticed that a more soapy scent develops when you begin to use the soap. I washed myself effectively using my hands but for reviews sake I also used a body polisher/pouf/puff and it lathered up a dream using this method. The bar produced a wonderful rich, thick lather and I would say that using it like this would make the bar last much longer.
I believe that you can always tell the difference between using soap and using shower gel, soap is always going to feel a little drier and Pears is no exception however, I didn't find Pears to be as drying as some soap products and after towelling myself off my skin did feel a little smoother and most definitely cleansed. I can't comment on the 'gentle care' suitability as I don't have sensitive skin but it felt like a gentle product and didn't feel as though it was stripping my skin of its natural oils. The fragrance also lingers lightly on your skin, I think I would liked it to have clung a bit more as I adore the fragrance but that is personal and doesn't detract from the products effectiveness.
Overall I would have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed my first experience of this well renowned brand. The soap did it's job and it did it well. This soap feels much more indulgent than the 60p you will spend on it and I will definitely be going out and buying it- once I've finished the stash that I 'liberated' from the hotel.
i have been buying pears soap for a long time becuase i loved the smell and it was nice on my skin. When the recipe was changed in 2009, i did not like the soap anymore. I still use it because it is cheap and it does the job. Even with the new recipe it still smells good but it is not the same. At the end of the day, it is just as good as any soap but can be found cheaper. It is not that bad on my skin but it is still better than liquid soap that easily cracks my skin. It looks very cool and does the job as soap. The recipe used to be natural but now more chemicals have been added to it and it is not the same anymore. I wish the old recipe was still being used because it felt much better on my skin.
---Why I Buy This---
I have always loved Pears Soap even since I was a little girl. Then I had a very old copy of Pears Encyclopaedia and at the front was the famous painting of Bubbles, with the transparent bar of Pears Soap on the floor beside him. It always looked so pretty that Pears became my favourite soap, but it was not one we always had, presumably because of the cost. I have always loved transparent things so this soap was a lovely treat.
---The Brand---
This is a very old brand as Pears Soap was first produced in London in 1789 by Andrew Pears. Andrew was a barber and perfected the art of producing a transparent soap wich was made from glycerine and other natural ingredients which gave it a srt of herby smell. This soap was quite a contrast to the adulterated products then on the market, many of which would contain poisonous subatances such as lead. Later the firm became part of Lever Brothers ans finally Unilever.
---The Product---
The bar comes in an individual box and is 125 grams.
The box is white shiny cardboard with a picture of the soap on the top, bottom and side - the transparent soap looks much nicer in the pictures than it actually is in real life..
The only claim on the front is 'Gentle Care'.
The shelf life is given as 24 months.
There is a full list of ingredients (see bottom of review).
It is said to contain high quality ingredients such as glycerine and natural oils which moisturise whilst cleaning the skin 'gently'.
They state that Pears is a 200 year old brand.
The soap is now manufactured in India under licence by Hindustan Unilever Ltd.
Inside the box the soap is sealed within transparent Pears branded plastic.
Once opened the smell is very strong - and not very appealing.
One side has the name 'Pears' imprinted on it and the other has 'Pears Transparent Soap'. It also feels slightly tacky to the touch.
The soap is slightly dimpled in the centre both sides, but not as much as the original product.
(Apparently you can also buy a blue and a green version but I have only seen their images online so not sure if they are available in this country.)
---Product Change---
Although it has been going since 1789 and you would think that spoke for itself, Unilever decided n 2009 to change the ingredients of this soap, so now instead of being natural ingredients it is more a chemical composition and the fragrance is very different and strong. The ingredients are listed at the bottom of the review but I think you would need a degree in chemistry to know what they all are.
There has been campaigns to revert to the old recipe but although Unilever said they would imporve on the existing one they would not relent and revert.
The original bar was hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, claims that have now been dropped. Also the shape is differnt - as the original bars were left to dry slowing and shrink, this is also why the original bars lasted longer.
A good explanation of the two different soaps is to be found at www.squidoo.com/pears-soap-old-v-new
---Family Connections and Medical Endorsement---
Not any more, but back in the 19th century some Pears advertisments were being endorsed by doctors who recognised its purity.
My husband's ancestor was James Startin who founded a skin hospital in Blackfriars, London, and treated Charles Darwin, and he was one of three dermatologists/doctors supporting the product and named on advertising posters.
60p per bar.
---My Opinion---
I don't know why I keep buying this soap, probably nostalgia - and I tend to forget how strong and badly it now smells, whereas I remember it as a lovely aroma and a golden amber hue. Just as well it is sealed in plastic - I love the smell of most soaps but this one is definitely disappointing. I cannot accurately recall the smell of the original bars - but it was definitely not like this badly 'improved' version.
It is reasonably transparent and can be used as an adequate soap, but it has lost all its old world charm for me.
The aroma now is strong and sort of chemically - not really inviting and not even pleasant to fragrance the bathroom. I will use this current bar but it will be used functionally and not in a pleasurable way - as nice soaps should be.
A very poor imitation of a really good and long lasting product - such a shame for it to end up this way after 200 years.
---Star Rating---
2 Stars.
---Would I Recommend?---
Not really - not as keen on it as when it was the original formula, the smell is very strong and overpowering - not like it used to be.
---Full Ingredients---
(As compared to about 8 ingredients in the original soap.)

Sodium Stearate
Sodium Palm Kernelate
Sodium Rosinate
Propylene Glycol
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
Sodium Chloride
Sodium Meta Bisulfite
Etidronic Acid

Pears soap is one that reminds me of childhood with its unique scent redolent of carbolic soap that I associate so strongly with my mother and washing all five of us children on Sunday evenings. I was born after the war but things were still in short supply and big families were the norm then. I think of how my mother tried to cope with keeping us clean and doing so much laundry without a washing machine or any labour-saving devices.
Carbolic soap was used for many things as well as washing the body, it doubled as washing powder and cleaning the floors as well. I remember it being a ghastly green colour and its scent permeated the house. I know at some point my mother changed over to Pear's soap, which was still considered a luxury in those days of austerity. We used to buy it from Woolworth and would stock up on as much as we could afford. The formula then was fairly basic but it was gentler than the green stuff and far more popular with us three girls.
So imagine how I felt recently when I decided to buy a bar of this only to discover there was something of a war raging about the new formula which was sending ripples in The Times and the Guardian newspapers and face book was campaigning to get the old bar back before old stocks were gone for good. I can't say when it changed as I've used it on and off for many years, only succumbing to my daughter and buying either Simple soap for her and several different brands for me as the fancy took me.
Unilever goes global.
Unilver is the company behind most of our soap and laundry products with factories in all corners of the globe. Currently Pears soap is made by Unilver India and licensed as Hindustan Uniliver Ltd. That was my first surprise, the other followed when I went online to check the date the company started making the soap. I knew it was about 200 years old and this fascinated me. I have some memories of the classic Pear's competition to find the most appealing 'bubbles' child to promote the brand and wishing I was cute enough to qualify, but in retrospect I would have been too old by then anyway. But I didn't know that the brand had changed its formula as well as its image.
Gentle Care?
This is the new brand and doesn't seem that different to the old one. The difference is it's in a box, not a pack and is enclosed in cellophane rather than coming au natuerel. It's the same oval shape and is an amber colour although it's still transparent. It promises gentle care on the box and states that it is made from the finest ingredients to promote and keep skin soft and healthy. Personally I rarely use anything but soap for myself, though I do have hand wash dispensers in both my kitchen and bathroom. I think my generation was so used to soap that we didn't take so easily to all the skin products flooding the market in the sixties and seventies.
Is it still as good?
I didn't find any difference and wondered what all the fuss was about. It still smells quite strongly of carbolic, but it's not unpleasant, as it's been called in the newspapers. It's still a nice shape and lathers easily promising cleanliness you can see in the lather. I did think the amount of ingredients seemed a lot compared to the old brand, but it still has the amounts of glycerin and palm oil that made it so good.
But the proof of the pudding etc, caused me to re-evaluate how it felt after bathing. I used this without any bath oil or creams, just hot water and the soap. It was a bit of a shock to the system after noticing so much dead skin in the bath, since a lot of this gets trapped in the oils and washes we use in our bath/shower. But I got out feeling clean and my skin was flushed but not uncomfortable. Instead I felt quite clean after rubbing with a towel and my skin felt soft and ready for some body butter.
I honestly don't know what the fuss is about. To me it's still the product I remember although its got some extras that weren't there fifty years ago. I imagine alcohol wasn't used for such mundane things as soap ingredients post war, but then again, I didn't read wrappers. So it's just as good as before and gains the full 5 dooyoo stars from me. It does show one thing though-We British don't approve of changing some of our heritage.
Price: About 48p for a 125g bar in Boots. I'm sure it's much the same everywhere.
Thanks for reading.

After an incident involving my two children, a bar of soap gifted to my daughter and a young mischievous boy taking a bath, and completely smooshing said bar across the tilework behind my bath, I found myself in Asda buying a new bar for my daughter to replace the Christmas one, paid for by my son.....lol, what a palaver!
After much perusal, (and negotiating, my son is what we refer to as "squeaky tight"!), we decided upon this particular soap to buy, much to my pleasure as I have never tried this before.
The soap in question is - "Pears translucent soap".
The soap itself comes in the same type of packaging that most of the other brands of soap come in, this being a small box, with the soap contained inside.
There is the usual information to be gleamed from the box, brand name, product name, description, weight (125g) and ingredients list.
Within the box the soap comes in a second wrap, a plastic pouch with the "pears" name emblazoned across it (just incase you forget it during the box opening process!), with the soap being much fatter and substantial looking than I had anticipated.
The soap itself is indeed translucent, with a lovely pale amber colour to boot, though at this stage there is no real distinctive smell to report on, though this does of course change once wet.
The first thing that impressed me was the sheer size of it, the soap itself is an oval shaped bar, with the "pears" trade mark printed into both sides of the bar.
I am not sure whether this is technically wider than the soaps I normally purchase, but it does feel much more substantial in my hands, though (even with terribly small hands!) I am still able to get a good lather on the bar without too much struggling.
Once lathered up the bubbles are very impressive, with there being plenty of them and this is when I noticed the scent, which is rather unusual but very nice.
The smell has a very fresh almost medicinal scent to it, making this the ideal bar for both men and women, with the obvious upside for me as a mother being, I can always tell if my children have given their hands a good scrub after visiting the toilet, the smell of this soap enters the room before they do!
The soap states on the box that this soap is really gentle on the skin, containing mostly essential oils and glycerine for there cleaning properties, well my skin is that of a lizards most days, so the ultimate test would be for me to use this in the shower, especially on my face!
After cleaning thoroughly with the soap, and even being able to shave my legs with the aid of it (the bubbles are very thick!), I dry off and see how tight the skin (especially on my face) feels.
Don't get me wrong my skin still felt a little tight, but with a real sense of freshness to it, and after using it for a good few weeks, I haven't had my usual rebellious breakout of face spots to contend with, so this soap is going to be a keeper!
Longevity wise, this soap with daily use by a four member family lasts a good 2-3 weeks, which for the price (60p a bar, Asda), is exceptional value!
This is a lovely well aged product (my mum used this when we were kids, with the brand being stated as being 200 years old!), that does just as it should, with no complaints from my brood, recommended!
Thanks for reading x
I started buying Pears soap a few months ago as I wanted something gentle and my usual Dove soap was out of stock.
I liked the simple look of the packaging and for just 53p for a 125g bar I was quite pleased with the price too.
It comes in a small rectangular white box, with a picture of the amber coloured soap bar on the front, with the Pears logo, 'Gentle Care' written on the bottom and the weight.
The side of the box contains the ingredients, the other small side contains the contact details, and the back of the box gives you a bit of information about the soap. Inside the box you get the bar of soap wrapped in a transparent plastic wrapper with the Pears logo printed all over it.
The bar itself is an amber coloured transparent oval shaped bar with the word 'Pears' imprinted on the top.
Pears is a 200 year old brand that it well know and trusted. It was the world first ever transparent soap and was sold in 1789 by Andrew Pears.
It has quite a strong scent which some people liken to coal tar, but seeing as I have never smelt coal tar, this isn't the case for me, I think has a clean, slightly medicated scent about it, it's quite nice and not at all unpleasent.
I use it in the shower, rub it on the shower puff thingy and give it a scrunch, it lathers up well on my body and I do feel that it stopped my skin drying out any futher and put a bit of moisture back when I suffered dry skin, I feel clean and refreshed when I step out of the shower and the smell lingers for a while, which I find quite nice.
In 2009 the ingredients were changed and this hasn't been greatly accepted. The original ingredients were simply ~
Sodium Palmitate, Natural Rosin, Glycerine, Water, Sodium Cocoate, Rosemary Extract, Thyme Extract, Pears Fragrance Essence.
Now it contains this ~
Sorbitol, Aqua, Sodium Palmate/stearate, Sodium Palmkernelate, Sodium Rosinate, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, PEG-4, Alcohol, Glycerin, Perfume, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Meta Bisulfite, Etidronic acid, Tetra Sodium EDTA, BHT, Cl 12490, Cl 47005, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Salicylate, Cinnamal, Eugenol, Limonene, Linalool.
I had never used it prior to this change so can't personally coment but after reading numerous articles I think -
*Why change something, if it ain't broke?*
Pears soap has a long history , and its one of the reasons i love using it.
The brand of soap first produced and sold in 1789!
by Andrew Pears at a factory just off Oxford Street in London, England...
''Pears Soap was the world's first registered brand and is therefore the world's oldest continuously existing brand.''
Unfortunately it's no longer an English brand,Pears soap is now made in India by Hindustan Lever a company in which Unilever controls a fifty two percent stake.
Pears Soap was often used by the elderly for its skincare properties,
once again unfortunately Recent changes to the quality of the ingredients used in the manufacturing process have changed and made the physical shape of what pears use to be. today the bar is flatter rather than concave, and there's a difference in scent with the classic version.
quote:''The aroma, which used to be a characteristically mild, spicy fragrance, is now a very strong frankincense-like smell. Again, in the UK the same has been noticed in 2009 with a scent almost like coal tar and with a reduction in the moisturizing properties, and in a differently shaped bar.''
now comes in two new sizes: 69g and 119g...Now this soap comes in three co lours, the classic amber, the green, and mint (blue color),each one with a different aroma.
''The original listed ingredients were: Sodium Palmitate, Natural Rosin, Glycerine, Water, Sodium Cocoate, Rosemary Extract, Thyme Extract, Pears Fragrance Essence.''
Todays ingredients for Hindustan Lever produced soap from 2003 were ''Sodium Palmate, Sodium Peanutate, Rosin, Sodium Stearate, Glycerin, Sodium Cocoate, Aqua, Alcohol Denat, Parfum, Benzyl Benzoate, Eugenol, Cinnamal, Limonene, Linalool, Tetrasodium EDTA, Tetrasodium Etidronate.''
(off topic)
i had a friend who collected pears paintings as well,which were a great collectors item.anyway..
as you can tell they stripped pears herbal like properties and added there own chemical mix to the soap...
the new owners of the soap are full of it read this :
''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". On 8 January 2010, it was reported in the media that Pears will not abandon the new formula but will "make further improvements, by delivering a scent that more closely resembles the product our consumers are familiar with while retaining all the benefits that the new formulation delivers".
I don't understand why they changed it in the first place..pears was popular back then why change something that wasn't broken to begin with?''The original version was completely free of industrial cleaners, free of synthetic colours and (apparently) free of synthetic odorants, whose place was occupied by natural herbal fragrances!''
hopefully someone in England will buy back Pears and bring it to its original glory as a more herbal soap.
i'm only giving 5 stars cause i like the older version and history.
I have used Pears' Bar Soap ever since my mother had used it. (Since I can remember!) There would always be a bar of Pear's Soap to hand, no matter where you were in the house!
My mother would never be without her Pears' Soap and would not use any other soap!
Pear's Soap has been used for years as I discovered. And I can see why. The soap retails around £1 or so and you get a lot of use from it. The soap does not foam up dramatically but it does clean your hands amazingly well! Squeaky clean hands is what you will get from this product that's for sure!! You can use the soap on your face and body, although I found it can be drying if used too much on the face. I must say too that this soap is FOREVER slipping from my hands ! It gets soooo slippery!!! It looks amber in colour and has a fresh soft Pear scent too. The soap has a translucent look to it also. It looks like a block of amber!
The main reason I personally LOVED this soap is that this is the ONLY soap I have found to get rid of fake tan from my hands!! For all those self tan lovers, you will NEVER have orange hands again!!! Liquid soaps do not get off fake tan off no matter how much you try ! There is always a slight tan left on your hands. This soap gets every inch of fake tan off your hands. It is great for cleaning your make up brushes too! Even rubbing the soap on a stained garment helps to get the stain out! I've found that this soap can be used for so many things because it WORKS.
Earlier this year though, my mother asked me to buy her a bar of the soap whilst I was out, and when I brought it back I heard my mother ranting on about the soap and how the packaging and formula didn't seem to be the same?
And it is true, the Soap has been re formulated with now triple the amount of ingredients then before. The smell is slightly different, and the colour not as bright. There has been huge up roar about the huge change with the Soap. I've heard that it is now more 'economical' too. It does still clean you the same way though.
Have the manufacturer's done the right thing? Well I'm sure they knew that not everybody would be entirely happy with the new re formed soap. Who likes change?? But at the same time, there is still nothing quite like this soap on the market that I have seen or tried. If sales of the new soap have stayed the same or increased then I very much doubt that the manufacturers will bring back the old Pears' Soap.
I would still highly recommend this soap. It is hypo-allergenic too so everybody can use it. Even those with highly sensitive skin.
Try this soap if you haven't already. You'll be cleaner then clean!!
I've often used soap instead of shower gel over the years, usually buying one of the varieties of Dove. Once Mr Niff subjected me to 'Fairy' soap, seriously, they should use that stuff to help clear up the oil spill, my skin was so dry it split open revealing my fleshy underblubber. Ok, it didn't, but you get the picture.
Pears soap was on special offer about a month ago from Superdrug, two for £1. Oooooooooh, I thought, that's a bargain, Pears have been around my entire life (221 years actually) and I imagined that I would be getting something that was traditionally made, hopefully from quality natural ingredients and that would feel nice on my skin.
The bar looked as I remembered, a striking transparent syrup colour. As a child this fascinated me and I was still rather thrilled with it. I gave it a big sniff and filled my lungs with its strange bitter-sweet fragrance.
Next on the list is the lather up! I would say the bubbles are of a medium thickness, certainly not as lux as Dove, but still good. It was easy to create lots! The fragrance was nice and lingered in the bathroom and on my skin. My skin felt clean, smooth and moisturised.
Mr Niff likes it so much he said 'I wouldn't mind if you bought that again' from him this is great praise indeed.
So, between the two of us, using it everyday in the shower or bath, one bar lasted nearly 4 weeks, for 50p that's good value. The soap doesn't seem to disintegrate as quickly as cheaper brands, and doesn't make too much mess in the soap dish (this is important to me!).
On a final note, I had a scout about the internet, just seeing if there was anything interesting I could add... In January of this year a Facebook campaign was launched as the manufacturer, Hindustan Unilever Ltd, has recently changed the formula (not spotted by me) taking the list of 8 ingredients from simple fare like rosemary & thyme extracts up to 24 items. Mostly with long names. Pears obsessives/fans who use the stuff all the time have complained and the manufacturer says that although it won't go back to the old recipe, it will try to bring the smell back to something more familiar. I reckon I have bought some of this middle recipe stuff as they promised to launch a successor in March (although I couldn't find out if the new one has been released). Extra points are awarded for Soap Shenanigans.
The article of saw was on the Daily Mail website and made much a mention of the company and soap being made India. Hmmm as per usual then Mr Mail.
'Pears' is a very well known household name and has been around for over 200 years. It was created in 1789 by a man called Andrew Pears. I can remember the TV advert as a child showing a fresh faced little girl with curly hair who had been crowned 'Miss Pears' in a beauty contest.
Pears soap comes in a white cardboard box and has a picture of the bar of soap on the front. The box is easy to open. The soap itself is wrapped in a cellophane wrapper.
Pears soap is hypoallergenic so it is suitable for sensitive skin. It is also non-comedogenic which means that it doesn't clog wet pores.
It contains glycerine and natural oils and is a light golden amber colour. Pears is different to most bars of soap as it is transparent giving the impression of purity. You use it the same way as other soaps e.g. wet your hands with warm water and rub the soap around between your hands.
*** My Experience ***
When wet, Pears gives a good lather of white foamy bubbles. It has a delicate smell which is very pleasant and distinctive and not overpowering.
It was easy to rinse off and left my hands feeling very soft. I always put hand cream on straight away after washing, as my hands usually feel rather dry, but found that I didn't really need to after using Pears.
Pears soap is mild and gentle enough to use on your face as well and it didn't make my face feel tight afterwards. Once used and wet, it does not make such a soapy mess in the soap dish as some other bars. It is suitable for people of any age to use including babies and children.
The bar cost 63p in Boots and although you can buy other soap much cheaper in multipacks I like this gentle soap and think it is worth the extra money. It's a favourite of mine and I will be buying it again.
Pears is one my favourite soaps off the shelves of supermarket. This is a vintage English soap that has been around since 1789. Back then this this soap was a complete luxury and not many people could afford, it was a luxury reserved for the wealthy classes. Price wise this is among the most pricy soap bars in the common supermarket chain shops ranging for about 60p to £ 1.20 depending on the size of the bar and whether is on sale or not.
Nowadays this soap is made in India but is still being made to the highest standard. Each individual bar has to be matured by a process of molding until it turns out to be transparent.
Because of it's history and being around for 200 years you can find many old fashioned pictures propaganda that are seen somehow or art nowadays. You can still collect and buy different décor items.
This soap is really mild and good to your skin. It makes the perfect hand soap as it will never dry my hands out so it never missing from my bathroom. It leathers up really beautifully.
The soap comes in cardboard recycling box but lately I have noticed that the soap inside is annoyingly wrapped in a plastic pouch bag, that is new to me and rather pointless.
The colour of the soap is a rich cloudy transparent amber. The aroma is spicy, cedar wood and frankincense to me, very clean smelling and luxurious
I lived in another country all my life so I do not have the Pears experience of sentimental value or being old fashioned I just simply appreciate it's quality and fanatic smell.
I have recently bough another type of Pears soap with a mint smell and green transparent colour but it somehow it have no became one of my favourites at well.
Has anyone recently (December 2009) opened a new bar of Pear's Soap, one with an inner cellophane wrapping? And then compared it with an older one?
For a start, its colour is paler, and duller. If that were all that has happened, it wouldn't perhaps matter much, glorious as that rich transparent hue was. It's its smell: something difficult to define but reminiscent now of certain kinds of toothpaste or, even, mouthwash. Gone is that ingredient which could still put me in mind of the characteristic lingering aura which used to hover around my long-dead grandfather's bathroom!
So I rang the people in Rotherham whose number is on the packet. Yes, they have changed the formula of Pear's Soap. Why? It's now "more environmentally friendly". What does that mean? Apparently, peanut oil has been removed, and a stage in the manufacturing process has been altered in which alcohol used to be allowed to evaporate........ I was not the first person who'd rung.
Are others similarly dismayed at what has happened to a well-loved product? If so, what can we do to bring back the former formula?
Pears Original Soap is especially made to take care of even sensitive and delicate skin, cleansing thoroughly, yet gently and rising clean / It is , contains a mild cleansing formula and no colorants / It is non comedogenic, so it won't clog pores /

A Lexington firefighter was injured during a training exercise at the training center on Old Frankfort Pike Wednesday morning.
Fire department officials say the firefighter's breathing apparatus malfunctioned, allowing smoke to enter his mask. He was able to remove himself from the exercise under his own power, and medics treated him at the scene for smoke inhalation. EMS took him to the hospital as a precaution, but officials say they expect him to be OK.
Officials did not release the injured firefighter's name.

BERLIN (AP) - German police have raised the death toll to 18 in a stampede inside a tunnel crowded with techno music fans. Police say dozens more were injured.
They're still trying to determine exactly what happened today at the Love Parade music festival in Duisburg, near Duesseldorf, and say the situation is "very chaotic."
Thousands of other revelers kept partying, unaware of the deadly stampede that started when police tried to block thousands more people from entering the already-jammed parade grounds.

text: This place is incredible and Crested Butte is an amazing town to call home. It's a dream come true for me to be here, watch my kids grow and to be a part of such a beautiful community! Seems like only yesterday, but I first hit town 20 years ago after graduating from the University of Washington. I came to test the area's legendary mountain bike trails and backcountry ski slopes. I left town in 1995 and after a successful run in the software industry, I returned to Crested Butte to fulfill my dream. Today, I consider myself very fortunate to be in the real estate business in Crested Butte. Working with people that share a similar affinity for this place gives me tremendous satisfaction. I like to think I specialize in helping folks with the process of investing in their Crested Butte lifestyles. The real estate transaction is only part of it. We all have our reasons why we first ventured to Crested Butte. Perhaps those same reasons are why some of us choose to stay and call this place home. What are your reasons for learning about Crested Butte? Are you looking to make a lifestyle investment? I welcome the opportunity to help you with the process. Contact me anytime - weekends - evenings - whenever it works for you.
