I found changing this saved me a lot of money. I didn’t have to buy soaps, shampoo, conditioner, or body wash. I also didn’t have to deal with a ton of bottles in the shower and saved the environment some plastic waste along the way. Its so easy for my boys to shower and wash everything with one bar, win-win i’d say!
