Rethinking Tomato Soap

Not all soap is good for all skin. I can't say this enough! I try to not offer soap that has a higher likelihood of causing reactions, but sometimes things do just happen, and then, sometimes I just can't resist the urge to make it! Tomato soap has been touted as a remedy for acne prone skin for ages. Is there truth in this? There may be for some people, but definitely not all people. Tomatoes can actually cause unpleasant skin reactions! It is possible to develop contact dermatitis from tomato plants and from the fruits. This is something to bear in mind if you are considering a tomato containing product for your cleansing needs. My family and I can use tomato soap with no problems, but that doesn't mean it is great for everyone. I made and have been selling varieties of tomato soap for a while with no ill fortune until....recently. This prompted me to put an allergen warning under my product descriptions as well as issue my customer a refund. I felt so badly for the person!
