Synthetic lanolin is classified as a comedogenic (causes acne) and can cause irritation while natural lanolin (anhydrous lanolin) does not.

Petrolatum is also a comedogenic.

At least initially, I think the soap only comes a-la-cart. If I remember correctly, it will retail for around $12.00.
Thats to bad :wink:

Thanks, Gordon.
I don´t mind the heavier balms and quite liked the T&H balms, but that was a couple of years ago.

Anyone tried Truefitt & Hill Classic aftershave balm?

I just noticed that T&H also have a classic balm in a 200 ml bottle and was wondering if anyone has any experience with it? I assume it's the same type as the other balms, but with a 'classic' scent.


edit: just the embarrassing spelling :oops:

I'm really looking foreward to this week as the group stage comes to a close. Some surprise exits so far and more to come! A pity Holland only managed 15 minutes last night, but Portugal deservedly won the game. Not sure whos going to go all the way, but Germany is the favourite beeing the only team...

IMHO, the saving grace of these soft Italian soaps in hard water is their glycerin content. It provides the slickness that will escape a hard soap user without using more product. I *think* with hard soaps the glycerin is more a trace ingredient and may be saponified and therefore not as effective....
