Disclosure: This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Ivory. The opinions and text are all mine.
My family of 8, including my son-in-law, all use Ivory products; especially the pure and simple, original Ivory Original 3-bar.
Is Ivory Soap Good on Sensitive Skin
We like Ivory sensitive skin soap products because they are gentle on sensitive skin. Ivory products are also made pure with fewer ingredients than other brands.
The pure formula has remained consistent for generations. Founded by Procter & Gamble (P&G), Ivory has been trusted by generations for 138 years. The brand’s intention was to produce a good quality soap at an affordable price point.
P&G made a point that the soap would float in water, including the rivers and streams some outdoors-men were bathing in way back in the day. In fact, it still floats today. This is likely why Ivory soap feels light and soft, plus it really lathers up nice. My kids especially love trying to catch the slippery bar floating on top of bathwater.
The floating bar of soap was an instant hit and became one of the most common household and personal cleaning products. For the past 138 years, it has also been referred to as “The Original Gentle Family Brand.” No doubt you can understand why.
Is Ivory Soap the Only Soap that Floats
In our house, it’s pretty simple. I have a large family and we go through plenty of cleansing products. My wife and 4 girls are pretty meticulous about their hygiene and taking care of their softer, more sensitive skin.
My son and I just want to get clean–quickly without smelling like a garden of fresh flowers or a bowl of fruit. We even wash our pup with Ivory knowing it won’t irritate his skin. In addition to Ivory Original 3-bar, the Original Body Wash a pure clean, trusted for generations. It is free of dyes and heavy perfumes.
We also like the Ivory Free & Gentle Body Wash with Pear & Sandalwood. It includes the #1 Dermatologist-Recommended moisturizing ingredient. This works great on my daughters’ sensitive skin! As you can see, Ivory soap is perfect for all of us.
It has simple ingredients, smells fresh, lathers up quickly and feels soft. Best of all, it cleans really well. And, of course, it’s affordable. We tend to buy bars of Ivory soap in bulk packages so we never run out. You can imagine how much we go through with a family our size!
Another thing you may not know about Ivory soap, and something we like, is that you can coat the bottom of your cast iron skillets for easy cleanup after a cookout. We have a fire pit we sometimes cook directly on.
Cast Iron Hack – Ivory Soap
Just rub the bottom of your cast iron skillet with Ivory Original 3 bar to coat it then place the pan over the fire to cook proteins or vegetables. A smoke and ash char will adhere to the soap. All you have to do is clean the inside with hot water, so as not to ruin the seasoned pan, then wash the soap and char off the bottom with hot water. It comes off easily! That is my cast iron hack.
Where can you find old-fashioned Ivory Products?
Ivory is an iconic and trusted soap brand stocked in just about every supermarket, drugstore, and big box store. As mentioned before, we buy Ivory in bulk packages. You can find these at a great price in most of the large club or subscription stores or you can also buy Ivory online. It’s a great product to always have on hand.
When is the last time you used Ivory Soap?
Used Ivory soap all the time as a kid. I have used it for my children too while they were growing up. I guess about 15 yrs ago.
honestly I never used Ivory soap but I think I should try this. It sounds great for my sensitive skin.

My mom always bought and used Ivory soap I remember as a kid the soap always floated in the tub. I still use it in my home and on my children.
Ahhh, Ivory soap is a baby’s scent. Babies smell so good, so clean, so terrific, and so refreshing. I literally love the scent of a baby. It’s a scent one never forgets or never wants to forget. My family still uses Ivory every once in awhile. We still like using Ivory. 🙂
I love Ivory soap because of the way it smells and it doesn’t leave soap residue on my skin. I have tried other brands, but always come back to natural Ivory soap.

I have not used Ivory soap in years, not sure why but after reading about how you can clean up a Cast iron pan with it I think maybe its time to go back to it..
I have to use a pure soap as I have issues with exzema and soap is a big issue for me in cleansing my skin.

I haven’t used Ivory in a while. Maybe I should 29th it again.
When I was younger our family had to switch to ivory soap because I was allergic to most brands that our family had in the home.
I like at everyone can use this soap.

I have never even heard of this product, but will find some immediately because I feel like I have the most sensitive skin in the world. Thank you!
I remember my mom buying Ivory soap a lot when I was a kid, the bar kind…until liquid bath soap became more popular. I think the last time I used it was about 10-15 years ago, But I’ll have to check out the liquid Ivory soap and that cast iron hack looks cool too!
I didn’t know, I’ll have to look back into it.
I like ivory when I can keep the kids from blowing it up in the microwave.

Definitely throwing a few bars of Ivory soap in the camping box now, trying to get all the soot off the camp dutch ovens is always a mess. No more!
