Oh! I didn't know Soul Owner had eucalyptus in it!

Yes! I can't help it!

Also, I was confused. What did you mean when you said you didn't see what the eucalyptus did for the skin...?

When you sent that link for herbs, I didn't see the benefits for the skin. I saw that it was good for circulation, but I did not see where it was good for skin. That's what I meant.

Ah. I see now. I guess I was directing those interested towards the properties of eucalyptus, which is antibacterial.

I guess it doesn't really matter. The eucalyptus spearmint lotion is working for me and frankly, I "am" surprised, but I don't care. All I care is that something is finally working this well.

Well, I am going to keep using mine till it is gone and see. And I see what you are saying now. You mean like tea tree oil is antiseptic so is the eucalyptus. I gotcha. Maybe if we keep seeing results you can contact these herb people and tell them that it helps KP.

I am very surprised and very pleased with the results. I've read that menthol can have anitbacterial/anti-irritant type properties, so I did try the Gold Bond Extra Strength Triple Relief lotion, but it didn't do anything, so now it's been relegated to hand and foot needs.

I have not tried to use a tea tree oil body lotion, though Whole Foods has one, and they also have the Dr Bronner eucalyptus bar soap and shower gel. I noticed that the eucalyptus soap is about 2x as much as Dr Bronner's peppermint soap.
