Thanks for the pubmed link. Interesting that it's saying even the standard test is around 2%. After reading that it's 1 in a million, I did some googling to see that lanolin alcohol is(was?) considered the most reactive, and what's in consumer goods far less so. This study seems to say that's not necessarily the case. I was starting to check the ingredients to see if there might be something else causing the irritation.
Again, in my case it's very specific sides of my chin get a minor hive like appearance.
I'm going to wait a week and test another soap I have with Lanolin, and try to narrow it down.
Nero funny you mention the waxy feeling. I was wondering what it was that was causing that with these soaps. I can't say I like it or dislike it. It does make the face feel smooth a heck, but I wouldn't want that everyday at least. Of course, getting a reaction to something is dampening my feelings about that accompanying feeling. Seems like a preference thing.
In general, not having given it a lot of thought, I'm surprised at how many top tier soaps have Lanolin, and how few don't seem to.
Some others I've found now without are B&M Reserve, Oleo Soap Works, and Eleven.
Plus the vendors on this thread, I'll check you out my next visit home, thanks.
As for the general tone of bickering, for my part apologies, I was an ass in my earlier comments, and should known better. There's always a tactful way, and I chose not to use it.
