The main reason I purchased this was because it is unscented and healthy. And that it is. It does have a minor base smell of just plain soap, as unscented doesn't mean that a product has NO smell, just that it doesn't have any added fragrances or perfumes (a lot of people misunderstand this and think it means the product will be completely scentless). Anyway, I live in an area with medium to hard water, so this product doesn't work the best for us. I was a little wary before trying it due to the saponified oils, as these types of soaps don't work the best with my type of water. If you have soft water, I think you will have no problems at all. But in my water conditions, this type of soap leaves a film (on the skin and in the bathtub/shower) and doesn't lather up as well as in soft water. As a result, I had to use much more of this body wash than all other body washes that don't use the saponified oil ingredients (for instance, I can't use any of the "Dr B." products, either, due to this same reason). Too bad for me, as it is really healthy, cleans well, and is unscented!
