[Ag-eq] wanting input

Liz:

Thanks for the input.  Personally I like a light scent, but know many people are
sensetive to it.  So it would probably be a good idea to have both.  I made a
bar soap with allo and oatmeal that is unscented, it's actually one of my
favorites.  I really like the way it makes my skin feel.

What kind of soaps do you find to buy?
