I have sensitive dry skin so many other handsoaps dry me out immediately.  Someone recommended Meyers a while back and I will never buy another soap again.  This soap does not dry me out at all.  I really think the all natural ingredients make a huge difference.  Also, it lasts for so long b/c you only need a drop and its suds up to more than enough.  Lastly, and the best part, the smell is magnificent!!!  This handsoap got me hooked on many other Meyers products, specifically, the dish soap which I cannot live without either.
