Aleppo soap is quite good for the scalp, it's probably the bay oil. As mentioned previously, Sulphur soap is great for skin conditions and I buy that in bulk too. I prefer Christina May soaps, but I have picked up around 8 different brands from Europe and two were very good. I have no idea which they were without investigating further.Wow nice collection mate, what's the best from your experience?
Also any recommendations for stuff like acne and eczema?
Thank you, Regards BrianI have used the Aleppo and Marseilles soaps, which are excellent. The only downside with the high percentage olive oil soaps is that, if you use a facecloth or flannel rather than direct to the skin, the former becomes rather oily/sticky/slimy quite fast, and requires a very good boiling to clean it well (that's my distaff laundress's moan). The large block Marseilles is a bit big to handle, and is a so-and-so if, when new, I've dropped it on my foot when showering, so I've taken to cutting it into smaller bits.
Of late, I've been buying the superb toilet soaps from the maker of great shaving soaps, Signature, but I will likely have some more French soaps soon, which I have usually purchased from French Soaps in the UK. A while ago, they were having supply problems (Covid and Brexit, I think) and didn't have quite what I wanted, but I think that the position has improved. I hope it stays that way.
