Cucumbers in Dove Shower Gel?

I'm sorry to inform you, but you probably are going to the shower with a cucumber. Dove is a big company, they would not false advertise - it will cost them too much if they are sued for not having cucumber when they said they did. However, they did not say in the package how much cucumber they used or which parts - so maybe that's the source of some of the water or the citric acid - basically it's pretty negligable between different colorings and other chemicals.

An article about green cosmetics in Time out NY a couple of weeks ago said something like "don't was with anything you won't put in your mouth" it's a pretty hard rule to follow, mine is "try not to wash or eat anything that contain chemicals that have number instead of names"

I  just started to use this soap and first of all the ingredient list is about a 3rd of the one you are using (always a good sign) and all of them are basically edible (though probably not stuff I would want to put in my mouth. A friend of mind switched all her cosmetics to this company and said her skin never looked so good.

This company has products that's clean everything! it's good for cleaning your house, your car, your hair, your face and even as mouthwash (though I haven't tried that one) It's really good and come in wonderful smells (My favorite in the peppermint) and all their ingredients are edible. Also, the bottles contain semi-religious rambling about washing your sins with soap so you barely even get to read the ingredient list.

Cucumis Sativus

As a soap maker, I use many different ingredients in my soaps.

Catnip, beeswax, honey, epsom salt lemon, pineapple, vanilla and MANY other un-manly items. Let me tell you, this US MARINE'S skin is soft and I don't worry about toxins in my soaps anymore. My Cucumber soap is a big seller as with my catnip, cinnamon and lemon soap for campers that acts as a NATURAL insect repellent and is 10X more effective than DEET.

 Cucumber juice contains many vitamins and other nutrients beneficial to your skin, the astringent properties of cucumber juice are ideal for oily skin. Enjoy your showers and MAN UP!!!!!!!
