Unscented bar cleanser that strips sunscreen and makeup; high-pH soap, YMMV.

What the community says

A lathering facial bar with glycerin and no fragrance, often used as a bare-bones cleanser or for removing sunscreen and makeup. Sensitive and rosacea-prone folks like the simplicity; eczema-prone skin and dry, stripped barriers can hate it.
