I've tried it and find it better than any of the others I've tried. Better to me means that it was able to handle fo without thinning with just a very small amount. I never liked using crothix and didn't like the consistency of it. Also, I've not used commercial soap in quite a few years, and I'm no longer running for the lotion bottle like I used to. This body wash doesn't give me that same great feeling, but it's as close as I've come to it. I'm a bar soap girl, but if I were to convert, this would be my choice. No time to work on making my own liquid soap.
