Mild soaps do not contain any harsh ingredients and are not irritating to the skin. Mild soaps can be bought in most food, drug, and health food stores. Use a soap that does not contain artificial fragrance.

Mild soaps usually contain ingredients that soothe and refresh your skin, such as:

• Witch hazel or aloe vera.
• Vegetable and herbal oils such as evening primrose oil, olive oil, or coconut oil.
• Chamomile and lavender.
• Rosemary and peppermint.

Some people can become sensitive to the ingredients in mild soaps.
