Haha thank you! If you’re really interested in soap definitely read Beyond Soap by Dr. Sandy Skotnicki. My thoughts are basically... soap has both a fat-grabbing molecule (to get “grime”) and water-grabbing molecule (to rinse), but the fat-grabber grabs all your skin’s good healthy fats too (ceramides, sebum, squalene, vitamin e, lipids) and washes them away. Not good for skin health! Also daily cleansing as a cultural ideal is rooted in classism, racism, sexism, religious indoctrination... so not feminist :)
I need to hear what you think of bar soap! Also, love this meme so much
