Just wondered why they don't make soap and shampoo without the sting. :confused::confused:
 
Try Johnson's Baby Shampoo. 'No more tears' it says on the bottle :-rofl2
 
IIRC it is the alkali within the soap and shampoo that hurt the eye as tears, the natural eye lubricant (tears) is PH neutral anything other than that in the eye will hurt either alkali or acid

LOl, love it. Never seen that one before :D
 
I think it's something to do with the caustic soda they mix with fats to make soap... :-rofl2

Watch the 2nd episode of The boat that Guy built on iplayer, they make soap there... :D

I'm aware of Johnson Baby soap, but I ain't no baby. Besides, you'd think by now they would have invented a universal non burning liquid wash.

Thanks for all the sensible replies. ;)
