Vanicream Cleansing Bar
Specifically engineered for those with reactive skin or conditions like eczema and psoriasis. It is uniquely free of common chemical irritants found in almost all other soaps, including dyes, fragrance, masking fragrance, lanolin, parabens, and formaldehyde releasers.
Quality & Materials
Soap-free formula using a mild surfactant base that maintains the skin's natural pH better than traditional lye-based soaps.
Evidence & Testing
Awarded the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance. Extensively tested by dermatologists for use on compromised skin barriers.
Brand Transparency
Value Assessment
Very affordable clinical-grade product available at most pharmacies without a prescription.
Why Not Alternatives?
Most 'sensitive skin' soaps (like Cetaphil or Dove) still include masking fragrances or surfactants like SLS that can trigger contact dermatitis. Vanicream is one of the few brands that consistently passes the standards for the National Eczema Association.
