Orange Zest (orange)

It contains no additional, potentially harmful chemicals, and meets Mukhopadhyay’s criteria as non-irritating, non-allergenic, non-acne-promoting, and non-pore clogging. Lye soap can gently remove surface dirt and excess oil from without drying the skin out or causing an inflammatory reaction.
