About soap:
surfactants such as SLS, or anything sulphate, are detergents. you cn use this for hand washing, but not body or face washing. it is a detergent which means it strips off a layer of skin when you use it. it is ok for hand washing because it will kill viruses and bacteria with greater efficiency.
Saponified oils are what you want for bathing and face washing. they cleanse, but do not strip your skin. Dr bonners uses saponified oils.
