About SoftSoap:
Softsoap is the trade name of Colgate-Palmolive`s liquid hand soap and body wash. William Sheppard of New York was granted patent number 49,561 for his “Improved Liquid Soap on August 22, 1865, for his discovery that a small amount of conventional soap could be mixed with large amounts of spirits of ammonia (or hartshorn, as it was known at the time) to create a soap with a consistency of molasses. His invention became common in public areas, but could generally not be found in homes.
In 1980, entrepreneur Robert R. Taylor (died August 29, 2013) began selling his product as Softsoap through his company, Minnetonka Corp. in Chaska, Minnesota. Taylor knew others would copy the soap-in-a-pump-bottle idea, so he shrewdly purchased 100 million small bottle hand-pumps from the only two U.S. manufacturers that made them, so that any competitors wouldn`t be able to buy any for one year - enough time for him to establish the brand name. It worked; in six months, he sold $25 million worth of Softsoap. The package made it very easy to spot on store shelves when nearly all other soaps were in bar form. Taylor sold the Softsoap brand to Colgate-Palmolive in 1987.

I know I`ve said it before and I will say it again... I absolutely love using the Softsoap brand! I use their body wash all the time as well as their hand soaps. I remember using them growing up and continue to hold that in my household today as well. Well, guess what?! They have a new limited edition line of body wash soaps and I just tried the 2 new scents, and you guessed it, I love them all! Currently, the two available fragrances are:
- Peppermint Meringue
- Vanilla Crème
*Suggested retail price is $2.97 for a 18 fl ounce bottle and is available at mass retail, drug, and grocery stores nationwide! Hurry, though, these scents are only available until February 2017!
Here`s a little about each fragrance:
Peppermint Meringue
Indulge in the festive scent of the holidays without new Softsoap brand limited edition Peppermint Meringue body wash. The moisturizing formula rehydrates dry winter skin, while the invigorating scent of peppermint sparks holiday spirit and leaves your prepared to celebrate.
Vanilla Creme
Bundle up in the comforting fragrance of vanilla with our new Softsoap brand limited edition Vanilla Creme body wash. The calming scent will turn your shower into a winter retreat, while the moisture rich formula will keep skin soft and smooth all season long.
Can I just say WOW! As usual, and at no surprise, each scent was new, refreshing and each soap was of high quality. I love the package design and look. Once again, I love the scent of each bottle one as it is a bit unique to others I have used. They are not overpowering or too strong, yet they give a nice enough scent so you feel clean after using the body wash and still smell good as well. Something else I have discovered is that Softsoap body washes make for great bubble bath soaps as well! I pour in some at the beginning of filling my bath tub and by the time it`s time to turn off the water, I have a mountain of bubbles! Plus they last my whole bath unlike actual bubble bath products! So you can get clean and enjoy a relaxing bubble bath. I should mention, the peppermint fragrance matches well when you`re enjoying a nice hot chocolate in the bath!
As I said, Softsoap is a favorite brand of mine and has been before I started ever reviewing their products. I intend to keep using their products for sure because not only are they a nice quality, but they`re affordable as well. If you haven`t already check your local retail stores to find the new scents and give them a try!
