Love It!

I've been using the Canus Goat's Milk Bar Soap, 3-Count Boxes (Pack of 4) after receiving a gift pack years ago. When I found they had this product for kids, I had to try it.

The scent is just as clean, fresh and soapy smelling. It is strong and stays with you all day, but not overpowering. This is important to me as I am sensitive to strong scents and this is just right for both kids and adults.

It really is tearless when used as a shampoo and lathers well, so a little goes a long way. Additionally, I had been using the top tearless shampoo for kids and I find this is a better deal when bought in bulk on Amazon. It moisturizes well too, I've found I don't have to use as much lotion to keep my infant's skin from drying out in the cold New England winter.

I'm not sure why people it smells like Grandma, as I'm far from a grandma and love the scent. I've actually received compliments from people who were surprised when I told them it was my soap.

Like Using Flea Shampoo

**********
It won't let me change my rating, though if I could it'd be changed to 3 stars. Mom offered to take it off my hands and has been raving about it ever since. She's iffy on the smell and all but says her (very dry) scalp and (very long) hair are in better condition since using this product.
**********

I wish this stuff smelled like old lady soap as the previous reviewer mentions some people saying! It is absolutely terrible, like using flea shampoo on your toddler.

Important to know if you're considering this product:
All the harmful chemicals/ingredients you (may) want to avoid are in this bottle.

The price for quantity would have been right, but this stuff is garbage and I am very sorry I wasted my money. No recommendation here!

Wonderful for keratosis pilaris

My toddler daughter started developing these tiny little bumps on the back of her upper arms, a condition that both myself, my brother, and my mother have as well. I asked the pediatrician about it and she diagnosed it as keratosis pilaris, which is caused by dry skin. I was told that there was no way to reverse it, though cocoa/shea butter helps it and that retin a treatments may help (though she did not recommend that for infantren).

I proceeded to experiment with different infantren's body washes and lotions that contain cocoa butter or shea butter (or some combination) only to see that I was losing the battle as the bumps were spreading down her arms and on her thighs. Finally, after consulting with the online keratosis pilaris support group, I learned that milk baths might help b/c the milk proteins affect the keratin levels in the skin which causes the bumps in the first place.

Well, after experimenting again with different milk baths and lotions, I finally hit on a the perfect formula. Canus Li'l Goat's Milk Body Wash in the bath at night, followed by vaseline (either in the original or thick cream formula) on the affected areas before putting on PJs. The keratosis is still there, but it's diminished rapidly and significantly. Plus, I've grown to LOVE the smell of the body wash. Some ppl complain that Canus products smell like old lady soap, but I LOVE the perfumed smell -- to me, it smells like CLEAN. I highly recommend this product!
